How to watch ‘White Lotus’ Season 3 for free: Time, episodes

It’s time for another season of “The White Lotus.” Next stop? Thailand.

Season 3 of Mike White’s HBO dramedy premieres tonight, Feb. 16, over two years after last being on air. A new group of vacationers will check into a Thai White Lotus resort for vacations that will likely be anything but a vacation. Like past seasons, an implied fatal incident will be teased before going back in time to watch the events of the week before play out.

In her review, The Post’s Lauren Sarner wrote, “Season 3 feels like the show takes longer to get cooking than it did in the previous two seasons.” Despite that, “there’s still a lot to like. The show’s central premise of ‘rich people behaving badly on vacation’ amidst a lush backdrop — with a light murder mystery thrown in — is still a winner.”

The brand new season kicks off tonight exclusively on HBO and Max. Luckily, there’s a wealth of great streaming options available to you if you want to tune in and stream it live — maybe even for free.

When does ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 come out?

“The White Lotus” premieres tonight, Feb. 16, at 9:00 p.m. ET. New episodes will air weekly on Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET through April 6.

How to watch ‘The White Lotus’ for free:

Max doesn’t offer free trials very often, but luckily, you can get a full week for free right now if you subscribe to Max via Prime Video Channels.

It costs exactly the same as it would to subscribe to Max directly ($9.99/month with ads, $16.99/month without), but the major difference is that one week free — there’s a lot you can watch in a week.
