Watch The White Lotus Season 3: Synopsis
I can’t wait for our third visit to The White Lotus. Mike White’s Emmy-winning series is a highlight of HBO’s always-impressive lineup: a potent cocktail of neurotic characters, A-list actors, sun-drenched satire and outrageous revelations. And this time we’re touching down in Thailand, with spa manager Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) returning alongside a new group of self-obsessed guests. Check out our guide below now, which explains how to watch The White Lotus Season 3 online and from anywhere with a VPN.
Each season of this hugely entertaining show welcomes a new cast of characters to a different White Lotus resort: its disgruntled staffers rubbing shoulders with dangerously delusional guests in paradise until their major dysfunctions culminate in desperate criminal acts and death. Beginning each instalment with a fresh corpse, we’re whisked back to the events of the week before until we teasingly find out who snuffed it and exactly what happened.
And that’s no different in this Thailand-set (mis)adventure. Our self-destructive holidaymakers this time include Jason Isaacs (The State Within, Harry Potter) as the wealthy head of the Ratliff family, Parker Posey (The Staircase) as his heavily medicated wife Victoria, and Patrick Schwarzenegger (Gen V) as their son Saxon. Sex Education’s Aimee Lou Wood is vacationing with Rick (Walton Goggins), a man twice her age and with vengeance in mind, while Golden Globe-nominee Michelle Monaghan (True Detective) heads up a trio of female friends desperate to let loose.
Regretfully, we left behind a waterlogged Tanya (the excellent Jennifer Coolidge) on the shores of Sicily last season. But we’re reunited with spa manager Belinda, played by Coolidge’s Season 1 screen partner Rothwell, as she continues her wellness journey in Thailand, and whose storyline will offer some thrilling call backs to earlier iterations of the show.
Plus, themes of spirituality will inflect this season's exploration of sex, power, and privilege, as another contingent of troubled characters collide in utterly unexpected ways. And, judging by early reviews, The White Lotus has lost none of its appeal, either. It’s already got a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with The Guardian praising it as “exquisitely shot, scripted, paced and performed” and a “sumptuous feast for all the senses.”

How to watch The White Lotus Season 3 from anywhere
If you're a US citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch The White Lotus Season 3 online just as you would at home.
While services like Max block access from IP addresses outside of the US, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN that can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, US citizens overseas can subscribe to a VPN, join a US-based server and access their subscription from anywhere in the world, just like they would back home.
How to use a VPN to unblock streaming services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from $3.99 a month with its 2-year plan

3. Go to the stream you wish to access - for The White Lotus, head to Max.
