As ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 continues to enthral audiences with its signature mix of dark humour, elite dysfunction, and tropical intrigue on Jiohotstar, fans are left craving more shows that deliver similar thrills. If you’re eagerly awaiting the next episode or craving more thrilling dramas with a similar vibe, here are five must-watch series that mirror ‘The White Lotus’ combination of suspense, dark humour, and elite drama.
TV-Shows To Watch After The White Lotus
Severance (Apple TV+) IMDb Rating: 8.7/10
Ben Stiller's dystopian workplace thriller might seem an odd pick, but its unsettling examination of identity and corporate control shares ‘The White Lotus' knack for psychological tension. The show's sterile office aesthetics and Adam Scott's haunting performance create a slow-burn mystery that lingers long after the credits roll.
Only Murders in the Building (JioHotstar) IMDb Rating: 8.1/10
For those who love ‘The White Lotus’' whodunit elements, this Emmy-nominated comedy-mystery starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez is a must-watch. The trio's amateur sleuthing in their glamorous NYC apartment building serves up laugh-out-loud moments alongside genuine suspense. Season 2's deeper character arcs and surprise cameos make it even more addictive.
Big Little Lies (JioHotstar) IMDb Rating: 8.4/10
This HBO hit, featuring an A-list cast including Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, unravels the seemingly perfect lives of wealthy Monterey mothers hiding dark secrets. Much like ‘The White Lotus’, it blends biting humour with suspense, culminating in a murder mystery that exposes the cracks beneath polished facades. The addition of Meryl Streep in Season 2 elevates the drama to new heights.

Industry (JioHotstar) IMDb Rating: 7.4/10
Ditch the resort for the cutthroat world of London finance in this HBO drama. Following young bankers navigating cocaine-fuelled deals and office politics, ‘Industry’ mirrors ‘The White Lotus' exploration of power dynamics, just swap sunbeds for trading floors. Myha'la Herrold's breakout performance as ambitious grad Harper is reason enough to tune in.
Why Women Kill (JioHotstar) IMDb Rating: 8.3/10
This underrated anthology series spans three decades (1960s to 2010s) to explore how infidelity destroys lives—with a hefty dose of dark comedy. Think ‘The White Lotus’ satirical edge meets ‘Desperate Housewives’, complete with lavish sets and killer twists. Lucy Liu's 1980s socialite storyline is particularly delicious.
Each series delivers the same potent cocktail that makes Mike White's hit work, wealthy (or wannabe-wealthy) characters behaving badly, biting social satire, and mysteries that reveal uncomfortable truths about human nature.
