Shows Like ‘the White Lotus’ to Watch After Season 3

If you enjoyed the way “The White Lotus” cleverly examines how the ultra-rich can struggle to stay in touch with reality, “Succession” is one to check off the watchlist.

The HBO series tells the story of the billionaire Roy family as Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) and his siblings clash over who will succeed their aging father Logan Roy (Brian Cox) as head of his media conglomerate Waystar RoyCo.

Throw in some excellent foul-mouthed performances from Cox and Kieran Culkin, and “Succession” is a must-watch.

All four seasons of “Succession” are streaming on Max.

Each season of “The White Lotus” is essentially a murder mystery that starts by teasing that someone will die at the luxury hotel.

Netflix’s “The Perfect Couple” is similar in that a dead body is found on the beach the day a wealthy family hosts a wedding at their Nantucket home.

It stars Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, and Eve Hewson, and keeps the twists coming throughout the six-episode series.

It also features Sam Nivola, who plays Lochlan Ratliff in “The White Lotus” season three — although there’s no incest subplot here.

“The Perfect Couple” is streaming on Netflix.

Hulu’s “Nine Perfect Strangers” is another Nicole Kidman-led mystery drama. It’s set a luxury wellness resort, which promises guests will leave enlightened and healed.

Kidman plays the resort’s mysterious director, Masha Dmitrichenko, who survived being shot in the head before the series’ events.

The show focuses on Dmitrichenko’s past, why each guest is visiting the resort, and how their stay changes them. It’s similar to “The White Lotus” in many ways, although the resort in “Nine Perfect Strangers” is even more exclusive and nefarious.

The cast includes Melissa McCarthy, Manny Jacinto, Michael Shannon, Bobby Cannavale, and Samara Weaving.

The first season of “Nine Perfect Strangers” is streaming on Hulu.

Netflix’s “Beef” is about the bizarre events that follow when Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) and Amy Lau (Ali Wong) get tangled in a road rage incident.

This small, singular moment creates a furious rivalry as their attempts to seek revenge escalate beyond harmless pranks.

The dark comedy uses their dynamic to examine things like class and wealth in Los Angeles. “Beef” is returning for a second season, and like “The White Lotus,” it will become an anthology series.

The first season of “Beef” is streaming on Netflix.

“Only Murders in the Building” is a slightly more classic murder mystery than “The White Lotus.” However, both of the Emmy-winning shows prioritize character development over the main mystery.

The series stars Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez as three lonely true crime fans who start their own podcast solving murders in the Arconia, their luxury apartment building in Manhattan.

Each season peels away new layers of the three lead characters as they put themselves in the crosshairs of the murderers they hope to capture.

The first four seasons of “Only Murders in the Building” are streaming on Hulu.

An ensemble of wacky characters, a death teased in the first episode, and the juxtaposition of a dark, unsettling story in a dreamy, luxurious location — “No Good Deed” has several similarities to “The White Lotus.”

The show, which premiered on Netflix in 2024, follows several couples as they bid for their dream home in a desirable Los Angeles neighborhood, completely unaware that a murder took place there years before. As the owners struggle to keep the past secret, the couples try to outwit their fellow buyers and keep their relationships from falling apart amid the stress.

The show stars Luke Wilson, Linda Cardellini and Lisa Kudrow.

The limited series is streaming on Netflix.

In “The White Lotus” season three, tension builds around the wealthy and out-of-touch Ratliffs, who are about to lose everything when patriarch Timothy learns he’s participated in an illegal deal.

If you were a fan who was disappointed that the show ended before Timothy tells his family about their imminent financial ruin, “Schitt’s Creek” can provide closure.

The Emmy-winning series features much-lauded performances from Eugene Levy, Dan Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Annie Murphy as the Roses, a formerly rich family who move to Schitt’s Creek, a town they once bought, after becoming poor.

All six seasons of “Schitt’s Creek” are streaming on Hulu and Prime Video.

“Big Little Lies” is an HBO mystery series about five women in the wealthy coastal city of Monterey, California, who become suspects in a murder investigation.

The show starts by teasing that someone has been killed, but like “The White Lotus,” it doesn’t reveal who is involved as the mystery unfolds throughout the season.

The show features an all-star cast, including Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Kravitz, Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley, and Alexander Skarsgard. The second season adds Meryl Streep into the mix.

Both seasons of “Big Little Lies” are streaming on Max.

Inspired by the 19th-century Alexandre Dumas novel “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “Revenge” follows Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp), a woman on a mission to destroy her wealthy neighbors as payback for them ruining her life and killing her father.

Unlike Rick in “The White Lotus” season three, Emily plays the long game, working her way into the family to destroy them from the inside. But when people she cares about get caught in the crosshairs, Emily struggles to complete her quest and save her loved ones.

All four seasons of “Revenge” are streaming on Hulu.

If you watched “The White Lotus” and wished there was more focus on the hotel employees, watch “Acapulco.”

The comedy series follows Maximo Gallardo Ramos (Eugenio Derbez) as he recounts the rags-to-riches story of how he became a successful mogul after getting his first job in 1984 at Las Colinas, the hottest resort in Acapulco, Mexico.

This series has a lighter and more nostalgic tone than “The White Lotus,” so expect more comedy than drama.

The first three seasons of “Acapulco” are streaming on AppleTV+.
