The latest episode of “The White Lotus” has broken records for the series, attracting 4.2 million viewers in its sixth episode titled “Denials.” This marks a 2.4% increase from the previous high set by the Season 2 finale. The show’s viewership has been steadily increasing with each episode of Season 3, with the first episode starting at 2.4 million viewers and steadily climbing to 3.4 million by Episode 2 and Episode 4.
While Warner Bros. Discovery did not release specific data for Episodes 3 and 5, they have reported that each week since the debut of Season 3 has seen a new all-time viewership high for the series as a whole. This trend bodes well for the remaining two episodes of the season, which are set to air on March 30 and April 6. If the current trajectory continues, Season 3 may surpass the viewership numbers of Season 2, which reached a 90-day average of 15.5 million viewers.
One of the key factors contributing to the surge in viewership is the inclusion of a controversial sex scene in Episode 6. This scene, described as “sort of fucked up” by Season 3 star Sam Nivola in an interview with Variety, has generated buzz and intrigue among viewers. The shocking nature of this scene has undoubtedly piqued the interest of both existing fans and new viewers, leading to the record-breaking numbers seen in the latest episode.
As the season builds towards its conclusion, anticipation is high for what the final two episodes have in store. With the promise of more drama, intrigue, and unexpected twists, “The White Lotus” continues to captivate audiences and solidify its position as a must-watch series. Stay tuned for the upcoming episodes to see how the season concludes and whether it can maintain its impressive viewership numbers.
