According toThe White Lotusseason 3 starJason Isaacs, spilling details about the buzzy HBO series comes with its risks.

When asked at MegaCon in Orlando on Sunday if he could share any behind-the-scenes updated about the next installment, theHarry Potteralum joked that his hands were tied because, if “I say anything else, they take my kidney out through my ears.”

But Isaacs, 60, did share one piece of advice from creator/directorMike White. “I’ve not been to Thailand before and I got a text from the director saying, go and sit at the sauna and don’t get out all day and you’ll be prepped for the shoot,” the actor said to a room full of laughs.

Each season has seen a mostly new crop of guests check for an eventful (read: murderous) stay at a different White Lotus resort, with season 1 taking place in Hawai’i and season 2 touring Sicily.

Isaacs’s role has yet to be announced for season 3, but HBO has confirmed he’ll appear besideLeslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul,Michelle Monaghan,Parker Posey, Tayme Thapthimthong, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola,Patrick SchwarzeneggerandAimee Lou Woodin the next installment of theaward-winning anthology series.

“[Mike’s] courage to explore the uncharted waters of the human psyche, paired with his signature irreverent humor and buoyant directing style, have us alldreaming of more vacation days at the resortwe’ve come to adore,” executive vice president of HBO Programming Francesca Orsi said in a statement about season 3.
