As tensions boil over and story threads start to converge heading into 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 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 murder.
