Status checked 2024/04/22:
The White Lotus season two will premiere on streaming service Max. Max is now available in more than 60 locations worldwide, with several locations in Europe and plans to expand to more countries in 2022.
Unfortunately, the service is still geoblocked in several locations. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access your Max account with a VPN while traveling.
Where to Watch White Lotus: Season 2 Release Date
The White Lotus season two premieres on Max on Oct. 30, 2022. If you’re outside a location where Max is available, you’ll need to connect to a VPN to access your account and stream the series.
If you’re in a location where Max is available, it’s easy to subscribe to the service. If you’re located outside a location where Max is available, but you have a payment method linked to that available location, you can connect to a VPN to subscribe from where you are.
Signing up for Max is a bit trickier if you don’t have a payment method linked to a location where Max is available. For example, if you’re trying to sign up for Max with an Australian credit card, it won’t work due to payment restrictions.
If you have any friends or relatives based in the U.S. or a country where Max is available, you might want to consider asking them to help you get your Max subscription.
Where to Watch The White Lotus Season One
You can catch up with The White Lotus season one guests and employees on the following platforms:
- Max
- Hulu with Max add-on
- Amazon Prime Video (purchase only)
- Google Play Movies (purchase only)
- iTunes (purchase only)
- Vudu (purchase only)
How to Watch White Lotus for Free
Max does not offer a free trial, but you can get a “Hulu with Max” free seven-day trial if you have a U.S. payment method. This won’t get you very far before you have to start paying for the service, but you might get a few episodes in for free this way. Furthermore, Max’s website allows you to watch the first episode of The White Lotus season one for free.
How to Watch The White Lotus With a VPN
If you’re traveling outside a location where Max is available but want to access your account, follow these steps to connect to a VPN. We recommend ExpressVPN for streaming.

Go to ExpressVPN’s website and sign up for a plan. All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Go to “products” and download the ExpressVPN app for your device.

Open the ExpressVPN app and connect to a U.S. server (or a server in another location where Max is available).

Log in to your Max account and start streaming The White Lotus.
The 3 Best VPNs for Watching The White Lotus
For heading back to your favorite Hawaiian resort and revisiting the first season or jetting off to Sicily where the new season is set, here are our top VPN recommendations.
1. ExpressVPN
Pros:
- Very fast
- Excellent for streaming
- Wide variety of U.S. servers
Cons:
- Expensive
If you’re happy to splash out a bit to get the very best out of your streaming time, we recommend ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN is a premium VPN service that combines security, usability and speed and offers top-notch performance in all of these areas. Though one of the priciest VPNs on the market, its streaming ability is unrivaled, so we think it’s a worthy investment.
In brief, if you’re looking for a VPN that’s fast, reliable, easy to use and consistent with streaming services, we recommend trying ExpressVPN with its 30-day money-back guarantee. Find out more in our ExpressVPN review.

2. NordVPN
Pros:
- Excellent speeds
- Reasonable 2-year plan
- Very secure
Cons:
- Difficult mobile interface
NordVPN is another premium VPN provider we’re happy to recommend for streaming. Our recent tests placed NordVPN at the top of the pack in terms of speed, which eliminates the risk of buffering and lags, which we all know can kill the vibe on movie night. Like ExpressVPN, NordVPN is very secure and has an intuitive desktop user interface.
The mobile app user interface isn’t quite so user-friendly, as it can be a bit of a pain finding your way around the world map on a smaller screen. That said, this is a minor inconvenience when you consider NordVPN’s stellar speeds and security. You can try NordVPN for yourself with its 30-day money-back guarantee and find out more in our NordVPN review.

3. Windscribe
Pros:

Cons:

If you’re going for a Hulu with Max free trial to stream The White Lotus, you can pair your seven free days with Windscribe — our number one free VPN recommendation. With Windscribe, you can get up to 15GB free data per month. This is great for catching up on a few episodes here and there, but it won’t last long.
Fortunately, Windscribe offers very flexible paid plans if you need more data — including a build-a-plan option that allows you to choose the servers you want for $1 apiece (minimum $3). To find out more about Windscribe, check out our full Windscribe review.
