Where to watch The White Lotus (Season 3) in Australia

Pack your bags because it is time to return to The White Lotus for season three. The third season arrived on Australian shores on Monday February 17th, with a whole new cast, and eight nail-biting episodes.

If you haven't jumped on HBO's picturesque comedy about privilege just yet, don't worry. Each season follows a new set of characters in a different White Lotus resort location. This gang of wealthy travellers are headed to Thailand to bath in the sun and hedonism.

The first season's cast spent six episodes in Hawaii, while the second hung around Sicily for seven, making the whole show extremely binge-friendly. What's more, there are a few different places you'll be able to find and stream The White Lotus in Australia.

• Foxtel Now
• Binge
• Foxtel via FOX SHOWCASE

In Australia, all three seasons of The White Lotus are available to stream via both Binge and Foxtel Now. The series can also be found by Foxtel subscribers via On Demand section of Foxtel's classic pay TV service. 

If you're not already a subscriber to any of the above, the impending arrival of the third season of The White Lotus is a great excuse to sign up for the service on a 7-day free trial. Beyond the award-winning comedy, the service has tons of other great TV shows including the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, What We Do In The Shadows and Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal.

Even if you take your time getting through the series or forget to cancel the trial, the most you'll end up paying for Binge is $22 per month. In comparison, the cost of a Foxtel Now membership that includes the Starter bundle (which you'll need if you want to watch The White Lotus) starts at $35 per month.

The first episode of Season 3 of The White Lotus started on February 17, 2025. Each installment of the seven-episode season will drop weekly, with the final episode arriving on April 7, 2025.

Throughout and following this initial run, Aussies should expect to find the third season of The White Lotus through the same streaming services that currently carry the rest.

Back in 2020, Foxtel signed a multi-year licensing agreement with WarnerMedia securing access to HBO and select HBO Max Original content for the foreseeable future. As long as that arrangement is in place, expect to find current and future seasons of The White Lotus on both Binge and Foxtel Now.

Created and written by Mike White, The White Lotus is a dark comedy about the murky power dynamics of tourism. If you can imagine the messiness of reality TV spliced into a prestige drama with the satirical bite of Succession, then you've got the idea. 

Originally envisioned as a six-part limited series, the first season of The White Lotus takes place at a Hawaiian resort of the same name. Told over the course of a week, the plot tracks the hijinks, horniness and thorniness between the various privileged guests staying at the hotel and the poor staff who have to put up with them.

As mentioned above, The White Lotus was previously intended to be a 0ne-off miniseries. However, in the wake of the series' popular and critical acclaim, HBO is looking to expand the series into an anthology akin to something like True Detective or American Horror Story.

The second season of The White Lotus moved to Europe and took place at a Sicilian version of the resort featured in the previous one. Aside from Jennifer Coolidge, the guest list for the follow-up is almost entirely different with Aubrey Plaza, Michael Imperioli and Sabrina Impacciatore among the highlights.

The third season follows this same trend, instead shuffling over to Thailand with a whole new ensemble cast including Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, and Sarah Catherine Hook.

Binge is Foxtel's second streaming service. Rather than adopt the cable-style channel packs model seen with Foxtel Now, Binge has a more Netflix-inspired subscription system. You pay a monthly fee, you get access to everything in the Binge library plus the features associated with your membership tier.
