The third installment of the dark comedy anthology series was originally planned to be set in Japan. However, a huge tax incentive subsequently offered in Thailand reportedly swayed showrunner Mike White and his team to the Southeast Asian country.

About Season 3: HBO has yet to tease plot details of the show's third season, but White previously suggested that it could be “a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality.” According to Deadline, the characters will include a patriarch, a female corporate executive, an actress, a couple of mothers, a misfit and a yogi.
