The White Lotus season 3 release date is sooner than you think – watch the trailer now

Walton Goggins, Michelle Monaghan and Jason Isaacs star as this season’s doomed guests - (The Independent/Max)

A new trailer for the long-awaited third season of The White Lotus has dropped, giving us our first glimpse at the next calamitous vacation to befall a group of stinkingly wealthy and oblivious holidaymakers.

Season three of The White Lotus will debut on 16 February on Max and takes place in a luxury hotel in Thailand, following previous seasons set in Hawaii and Sicily.

Directed by Mike White, The White Lotus follows the grim exploits of guests and employees at the fictitious White Lotus resort chain. Each season features a new cast of characters, with the notable exception of Jennifer Coolidge as the gloriously unhinged socialite Tanya, who made appearances in the first and second seasons of the show.

Plot details are still firmly under wraps, but The White Lotus season three trailer showed off a few new guests, including those played by Walton Goggins, Leslie Bibb and Parker Posey. Also starring is Nathasa Rothwell, who played spa manager Belinda in season one, and Lisa from K-pop group Blackpink.

Want to catch up on the first and second seasons of The White Lotus before the new series airs? Keep reading to find out how to watch the show online.

How to watch The White Lotus in the UK

Sky has the exclusive rights to broadcast HBO shows in the UK, so you’ll need to be a Sky member or subscribe to the streaming service Now to watch The White Lotus.

The simplest way to get Sky TV is by picking up the Sky Stream box (£19 per month, Sky.com), which comes with a Sky TV entertainment package plus a subscription to Netflix. The Sky Stream box uses your internet connection rather than a satellite dish, so there’s no fiddly installation required.

An even simpler way to watch both seasons of The White Lotus is with Now’s entertainment pass. The pay-monthly streaming service gives you access to lots of other HBO shows too, like House of the Dragon and The Last of Us, plus classics like The Sopranos and Game of Thrones.
