"The White Lotus" will air live on HBO and drop on Max simultaneously for streaming. While the first season had six episodes and the second had seven episodes, Season 3 promises eight episodes in total. This leaves seven episodes to figure out who has been murdered and who did it, including Episode 2.

"It's immediately clear what you're dealing with," says Michelle Monaghan, as The Hollywood Reporter explains the darker premiere mystery — and one other surprise from creator Mike White.

The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 2 “Special Treatments” arrives on HBO and MAX on Sunday, February 23, 2025. You can watch The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 2 “Special Treatments” tonight on HBO at 9 PM ET/PT. The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 2 will also be available to stream everywhere on MAX at 9 PM ET on Sunday, February 23.
