5 new international series coming to Showmax in 2025

No matter how 2025 goes, one thing is certain: you’ll be able to escape into some amazing shows. 

Here are five international series that Showmax is particularly looking forward to: 

The White Lotus S3 | Express from the US from 17 February

Winner of 15 Emmys, The White Lotus returns for a third instalment following a new group of guests at another White Lotus hotel, this time in Thailand.

Once again written and directed by Mike White, this season’s star-studded cast includes Emmy nominees Carrie Coon, Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, and Walton Goggins, Teen Choice nominees Leslie Bibb and Patrick Schwarzenegger, Critics Choice nominee Michelle Monaghan, and BAFTA winner Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education), one of IMDb’s Top Stars To Watch in 2025. Natasha Rothwell also returns to her Emmy-nominated Season 1 role as Belinda. 

As TimeOut says, “Much as we’ll all miss Jennifer Coolidge – RIP Tanya – the third run of White Lotus should be February’s most talked-about telly.”

The White Lotus S3 will be coming to both M-Net and Showmax from 17 February, express from the US. While you wait, binge the first two seasons on Showmax now.
