And since it's return to telly screens on Sunday night, fans are already complaining about something pretty major.

In the new series, Patrick Schwarzenegger - who plays the role of Saxon - flashes viewers in a full frontal scene where his bum is in full view.

But that isn't where complaints end, because fans reckon a possible incestuous storyline is brewing.

The hit series' new season follows family patriach Timothy (Jason Isaacs), who is a wealthy businessman, and his family as they arrive in Thailand.

Timothy's family consists of wife Victoria (Parker Posey), daughter Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook), and sons Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola).

And last night in one of the new episodes, fans were quick to call out a possible incestuous storyline developing.

At the start of last night's episode, the family could be seen and heard chatting about their new home and how it had three bedrooms.

Because the new abode had just three bedrooms, this meant that two of the siblings had to share.

Piper said she would share her room with the youngest child Lochlan, but Saxon insisted that a brother and sister shouldn't share because it was "weird".

This then later led to Lochlan and Saxon sharing a room, with the subject quickly turning to sex towards the end of the episode.

Saxon was in bed when he speculated about his sister and if she'd had sex yet.

He then he turned to his brother and asked what kind of explicit stuff he was into.

Chatting about intimate things during the rather X-rated conversation, the brothers left viewers feeling uncomfortable and as if there might be an incestuous connection.

"What in the incest is going on..." asked one person on X.

I do feel like the other seasons were a rehearsal for this one.

The White Lotus writer Mike White speaking to TIME about the new series

While a second said: "Not The White Lotus Season 3 having a incest storyline."

"So ya’ll werent lying about the undertones of incest on The White Lotus…." stated a third.

A fourth then said: "Just saw season 3 premiere of White Lotus. Is it just me or there’s an incest relationship going on between the brothers?"

While a fifth penned: "Got major incest vibes from the two brothers in White Lotus season 3…."

And a sixth added: "So the two brothers gonna end up being the incest couple."

Mike White, who is the sole writer-director of The White Lotus, previously spilled what season three would have in store for viewers.

Speaking to Time, he said that the series was set to be "much, much darker" than the two previous seasons.

Mike also said in the interview: "I do feel like the other seasons were a rehearsal for this one."

The first season highlighted money and the second sex, with this one previously slated to be a "satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality".
