After three seasons of sun-drenched satire, social tension, and suspiciously beautiful people behaving badly, The White Lotus has officially checked out. And while no other show can quite match its specific flavour of luxury meets lunacy, there are others that dabble in the same pool—stories that play with class, chaos, murder, and immaculate scenery.
Whether you’re craving another dysfunctional vacation or just want to eavesdrop on the rich being ridiculous (and occasionally dead), here’s your next watchlist. Think of it as your digital concierge, minus the passive aggression.
Best Shows and Movies Like The White Lotus to Watch Next
Knives Out 2
Where to watch: Netflix
A tech billionaire, a private island, a dead guest. Sound familiar? Rian Johnson’s murder mystery is sharp, stylish, and full of delicious performances. Like The White Lotus, it takes aim at the ultra-wealthy—with a knife hidden inside a designer cake.
The Menu
Where to watch: JioHotstar
An exclusive dinner on a remote island unravels into a slow-cooked psychological thriller. Think MasterChef, but with murder and Michelin-starred contempt. A perfect follow-up if you're craving more existential dread with your amuse-bouche.
Triangle of Sadness
Where to watch: SonyLIV
The rich, the beautiful, and the deeply unpleasant get stranded on an island after a luxury yacht trip goes south. It's The White Lotus on open water, and it’s gloriously grotesque.
Bodies Bodies Bodies
Where to watch: Netflix
A Gen Z murder mystery at a mansion during a hurricane party. Equal parts satire and scream-fest, it skewers the chronically online with the same sharpness The White Lotus reserves for boomers on beach loungers.
Succession
Where to watch: JioHotstar
No exotic holidays here, but plenty of five-star backstabbing. It's capitalism in crisis, one insult at a time. If you loved watching the 1 per cent implode, welcome to the VIP lounge.
Big Little Lies
Where to watch: JioHotstar
Palm trees, privilege, and a very messy murder. This Reese Witherspoon-led drama blends White Lotus’s luxurious visuals with simmering secrets and a haunting score. It walks so White Lotus could run.

Why Women Kill

From the creator of Desperate Housewives, this campy, twisted anthology delivers murderous women, pastel kitchens, and picture-perfect lawns hiding pitch-black secrets. Deliciously dramatic.

Nicole Kidman in full ethereal guru mode, leading a group of stressed-out guests through a mysterious wellness retreat. Spiritual healing? Sure. But also secrets, sedatives, and some very White Lotus energy.
Acapulco

A sun-soaked dramedy about the employees of a luxury resort in the '80s. Less murder, more nostalgia—but still a peek behind the poolside smiles. A great palate cleanser after all that tension.
The Afterparty

A murder at a high school reunion, told from different guests' perspectives in different genres. Smart, quirky, and wildly inventive—it’s White Lotus meets Clue with a splash of chaos.
The Resort

Another mysterious holiday, another dead guest—or maybe two. With time travel, tropical settings, and missing persons, this Peacock original dives into relationship rot and existential ennui with a cheeky smile.
Search Party
