Plus, the ensemble cast pulls off the uncomfortable humor perfectly.

Is ‘The White Lotus’ on Netflix or HBO Max?

Sorry, Netflix hopefuls, The White Lotus is not streaming on Netflix. It probably won’t ever hit the streaming giant. The White Lotus is an HBO Max original directed by Mike White. So, it’s exclusive to the streaming platform. However, it is worth the monthly fee to see the awkward, uncomfortable moments that develop at the Maui resort this summer.

What is ‘The White Lotus’ about on HBO Max?

The Max Original, White Lotus, follows several wealthy white people through a one-week-long vacation in paradise. However, the trip is far from relaxing. The only person who notices the beauty of the tropical location is teen Quinn Mossbacher (Fred Hechinger) — the ocean washed away all of his devices. 

Meanwhile, the demands of the privileged travelers begin to eat away at the staff — mainly resort manager Armond (Murray Bartlett). Plus, the series opens with a twist that viewers wouldn’t expect from a social satire. There’s a dead body. Who died while vacationing in paradise remains to be seen. Viewers won’t regret streaming The White Lotus on HBO; it’s intriguing, uncomfortable, and hysterical.

What night is ‘The White Lotus’ on?

With so many TV shows readily available for binge-watching in their entirety, it’s sometimes annoying when viewers find a show that only drops weekly. So, when do new episodes of The White Lotus come out for streaming on HBO? The social satire hits the streaming platform on Sundays at 9 p.m. EST on HBO and HBO Max.

Is the HBO limited series getting a season 2?

If director Mike White has any say in the matter, The White Lotus Season 2 will return to streaming on HBO at another exotic location.

“My hope is that maybe HBO will want to do another round of White Lotus,” the director told The New Yorker. “I feel like it might take place at a sister hotel, a different kind of seasonal thing. I think there’s another season in me that kind of has a different way into this that I think would be cool if they’d let me do this.”
