One of the biggest hit anthology series returns for its third run after an extended break: The White Lotus season 3 hits screens on Sunday, February 16 and I'm going to help you work out how to watch it.

Each season of The White Lotus follows the workers and visitors at a different luxury resort as the employees help the guests sort out their drama. Season 3 is set in Thailand, following Hawaii and Sicily for past seasons.

Natasha Rothwell is the one recurring cast member and new actors are joining like Jason Isaac, Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, Parker Posey, Walton Goggins, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood and Carrie Coon.

Looking forward to The White Lotus season 3? Here's everything you need to know in order to watch it.

How to watch The White Lotus season 3 in the US

You can either watch The White Lotus season 3 on cable or on TV, and they'll both come out at the same time so neither is quicker.

On cable, you can watch episodes on HBO weekly from Sunday, February 16, with each airing at 9 pm ET/PT. I'll share the release schedule below.

HBO is a channel available from certain cable broadcasters, and a few live TV streaming services offer it as part of add-on packages. These include Hulu with Live TV, DirecTV and YouTube TV.

Alternatively, you can watch episodes of The White Lotus season 3 by using the streaming service Max, with each landing on the platform when they air on HBO. The previous two seasons can be watched on Max too.

Max starts at $9.99 for its cheapest plan but that will make you watch ads amongst your videos. There's a $16.99 plan for people who don't like commercials as this allows for ad-free streaming.
