| |  | | With The White Lotus Season 3 ending April 6, we’re already freaking out about what will fill that very specific hole in our viewing. There’s just something so tasty about watching rich people misbehaving in meme-worthy ways. Here are three similar projects we recommend. | | | The Menu | | As close to eating the rich as we’ve come, this black comedy thriller directed by Succession alum Mark Mylod finds stars Nicholas Hoult, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Ralph Fiennes (among many others) trapped at one very strange dinner with an ulterior motive. | | More details |
|
| | | Nine Perfect Strangers | | The star-studded Nicole Kidman series was Hulu’s most-watched original ever when it premiered in 2021, but it never took off the way The White Lotus did. Check it out for yourself to fill that rich-people-on-vacation vibe before Season 2 premieres this spring. | | More details |
|
| | | Enlightened | | Before The White Lotus, Mike White gave us this criminally underrated HBO gem. Laura Dern plays a woman on a chaotic self-improvement journey after a public meltdown—hilarious, sharp, and packed with the same satirical bite we’ve come to love from the women of TWL. | | More details |
