The White Lotus, season three – Binge

What can we say about The White Lotus that hasn’t already been said? Mike White’s sensational series is the most talked-about show of early 2025, and for good reason.

Following on from its widely acclaimed second season, The White Lotus season three exchanges the chic setting of Sicily for the tropical paradise of Ko Samui, where an almost entirely new cast of characters (played by the likes of Walton Goggins, Parker Posey, Michelle Monaghan and Lalisa Manobal – aka Lisa from Blackpink) will be getting up to no good.
