The White Lotus Season 3 creator Mike White on the upcoming finale episode

The eighth and final episode of The White Lotus Season 3 is all set to premiere on Sunday, April 6, 2025, on HBO and Max at 9 pm ET/PT. Luckily for the fans of the show, a fourth season has already been renewed for the show so a new season, and a new location are not that far.

The finale episode is expected to be a fitting end to a season full of rollercoaster twists and turns. The creator Mike White, in conversation with Hollywood Reporter and a lot of his cast, also talked about this finale as being one of the jewels in his career. He says:

"It’s an hour and a half. It’s kind of epic. As a filmmaker, it’s probably the piece of work that I’m like, 'I can’t believe I did that.'"

At this point, Charlotte Le Bon (Chloe) added to the discussion about The White Lotus Season 3 finale by saying that:

"People are going to hate Mike White".

If we've learned anything from the past two seasons, it's that anything can happen in this satirical roller coaster of a show- so Le Bon is probably right.

White added that the finale is meant to be satisfying and cathartic while being sad at the same time but since people's opinions have always swung between the two corners of love and hate, it can be hard to 'stick the landing' that is The White Lotus Season 3 finale.

"My hope is that it’ll feel like a cathartic sad or a satisfying sad and not a 'What the f**k?' sad, but people are going to have a million different opinions. You just hope you stick the landing."

The White Lotus Season 3 finale and Sunday cannot be here fast enough for us and the audience to dissect every shot and action of the show.
