The season 1 star tells PEOPLE how she learned she'd be returning for season 3, calling the show "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I got to do twice"

When we last saw spa manager Belinda Lindsay (Natasha Rothwell), spa manager of the Hawaii resort, in the season one finale of The White Lotus, she'd just learnt the hard way that you should never put your faith in a flighty rich person.

In the premiere, Belinda is waiting for her son to arrive at the resort, trying to become acquainted with the resort and understand her place as she both studies under the resort staff and takes advantage of the amenities, giving her a reverence for Thailand that her fellow guests don’t seem to have.

As she returned for 'The White Lotus' season 3, Natasha Rothwell recalled to PEOPLE how she missed hanging out with Jennifer Coolidge on set

Following the death of Jennifer Coolidge's Tanya McQuoid in the 'White Lotus' Season 2 finale, Natasha Rothwell recalled her reaction to the scene.

Aspirational fashion is a key element of any binge-worthy show, which is one of the reasons why The White Lotus is permanently queued up on watchlists. Flowy sarongs? Check. Chic swimsuits? Double check.
