The White Lotus Season 3 Rotten Tomatoes Score Revealed - How Does It Fare Against Previous Seasons?

The Rotten Tomatoes score has been revealed for The White Lotusseason 3. The anthology series began in 2021, with the first installment following a group of rich resort guests staying at a hotel chain in Hawaii. The season was extremely popular and led to the creation of season 2, which transported locations to Sicily with a predominantly new cast at the forefront. Now, The White Lotus season 3 is set to premiere on February 16, where it will see Natasha Rothwell's return alongside new members like Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins.

Now, the debut Rotten Tomatoes score for The White Lotus season 3 has been revealed. At the time of writing, the season currently sits at 94% based on only 35 reviews. However, this score is subject to change as more reviews get tabulated. Likewise, the season has not been released to the public yet, so there is no audience score for season 3.

What This Means For The White Lotus Season 3

The White Lotus Is As Good As Ever

Critics have been praising all aspects of The White Lotus season 3. ScreenRant's Graeme Guttmann gave the season 8 out of 10 stars in hisreview, noting "There's something hypnotic about this season of The White Lotus; the leisurely pace, the sprawling cast, and the various plot threads that weave in and out of each other feel more expansive than ever." Guttmann also complimented the casting in the season, which was also shared by other reviewers. However, more mixed critics pointed at the dislike of the pacing and felt that the show did not live up to its previous seasons.

If The White Lotus maintains this 94% score, it will be tied for the highest-ranked season of the series so far. Season 2 also fared a 94% Tomatometer, which was a few ticks above season 1's also-impressive 90%. Even if the score fluctuates a bit, it is clear that Mike White's series is living up to the power of the first two seasons.

Our Take On The White Lotus' Rotten Tomatoes Score

The White Lotus Has Carried On Well Without Tanya

This is great news for The White Lotus viewers who feared that the show would have a tough time carrying on without Jennifer Coolidge. Coolidge's character, Tanya, was killed off during a dramatic sequence with The White Lotus season 2 ending, marking the end of her narrative. Coolidge was an audience and critical favorite in the series, so there was some worry that the show would struggle without her. The series seems to have carried on just fine as The White Lotus season 3 is on its way to becoming another Certified Fresh season.
