As tensions boil over and story threads start to converge heading into this Sunday’s Season 3 finale, HBO‘s The White Lotus continues to forge ahead of previous installments in the ratings.
Episode 306 last week drew 4.2 million cross-platform U.S. viewers, edging the Season 2 finale to become the mystery series’ most watched episode ever. Its record was short-lived as last night’s Episode 307 set a new high benchmark with 4.8 million U.S. viewers, up 14%.
Mike White’s hit appears certain to set another all-time record with its finale, fully expected to crack the 5M mark, with viewership in the 6M range not outside of the realm of possibility given the season’s cultural resonance so far and the intrigue surrounding the latest’s murder.
The season is currently averaging nearly 15 million U.S. viewers, with the Season 3 premiere approaching 18 million HBO and Max viewers. The finale debuts April 6 on HBO and Max. The White Lotus already has been renewed for Season 4.
The White Lotus also continues to lift the final season of HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones, which hit a new series high of 1.1 million U.S. cross-platform viewers with Episode 404 last night. This season is currently averaging 4.1 million U.S. viewers, outperforming last season by a margin of 10%.
