If You Love ‘The White Lotus’, Watch These 10 Shows & Movies Next
Luxury resorts, deeply flawed rich people, and a whole lot of messy drama. If you’re obsessed with The White Lotus, you’re not alone. HBO’s sharp social satire gives us twisted character studies, unexpected deaths, and just enough dark humor to make it all feel uncomfortably entertaining.
But when The White Lotus is between seasons, you might be looking for similar shows to fill that void. If you’re craving another round of rich-people problems, power struggles, and intrigue in beautiful settings, this list has you covered. These TV shows and movies bring all the satirical, suspenseful, and stylish drama you love.
