What time does 'The White Lotus' come out? How to watch episode 6, plus more to know
HBO's hit original series "The White Lotus" continues this weekend. Season 3 of the Emmy-award-winning series airs Sunday with its all-new cast, location and chaotic storyline. Here's everything you should know about "The White Lotus" season 3. Season 3 of "The White Lotus" continues Sunday, March 23, on HBO and Max. "The White Lotus" comes out at 9 p.m. ET Sunday. This season of "The White Lotus" has eight episodes total, one more episode than season 2, USA TODAY reports. Here is the release schedule for season 3 of "The White Lotus," per Esquire. Episode 1: 'Same Spirits, New Forms' on Feb. 16. Episode 2: 'Special Treatments' on Feb. 23. Episode 3: 'The Meaning of Dreams' on March 2. Episode 4: "Hide or Seek" on March 9. Episode 5: "Full-Moon Party" on March 16. Episode 6: TBA on March 23. Episode 7: TBA on March 30. Episode 8: TBA on April 6. "The White Lotus" is available to stream on Max. Max subscription plans begin at $9.99 a month with ads, which allows users to stream on two devices at one time. Ad-free subscriptions are $16.99 a month, which includes the additional ability to download up to 30 titles to watch on the go. The highest tier, which is $20.99 a month, includes the ability to stream on four devices and offers 4K ultra HD video quality and 100 downloads. HBO also offers bundles with Hulu and Disney+. "The White Lotus" is an anthology series that offers an inside look at the powerful and wealthy as they navigate complex personal dynamics and face potentially dangerous experiences while on vacation, per USA TODAY. For season 3, viewers are whisked away to a resort in Thailand and follow a wealthy businessman and his family, three longtime friends on a girls trip, a "rugged man with a chip on his shoulder" and his girlfriend, among others. "Seeking peace can be a trip," reads the tagline for this season, which was created, written and directed by former "Survivor" contestant Mike White. Technically you don't need to watch seasons 1 and 2 before tackling season 3, as "The White Lotus" is an anthology series, meaning each season features a new cast and storyline and takes place at a different resort. There are, however, a couple returning characters from previous seasons, such as Jennifer Coolidge's character Tanya McQuoid who appeared in season 1 and 2. Natasha Rothwell's Belinda Lindsey befriended McQuoid in season 1, but did not return for season 2. However, Belinda is starring in season 3. But there's only one character who connects all three seasons: Jon Gries' Greg. During the season 3 premiere, Greg appeared at the Thai resort with his new girlfriend Chloe, played by Charlotte Le Bon. Greg initially met, dated and married McQuoid in season 1. Rolling Stone reports that "The White Lotus" theme song changes each season to reflect the "tone, mood and themes of the season." Music supervisor Gabe Hilfer said, "the theme songs for the first two seasons were a little bit more related creatively, but they're totally different songs. Season Three is about spirituality, and it's meant to be reflective of that." Yes. "The White Lotus" season 4 was confirmed in late January, ahead of the season 3 premiere. USA TODAY contributed to this report. This story was updated to add a gallery. This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: What time does 'The White Lotus' air?

Hear How Knight Rider Triggers British Police
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious We all have some crazy car stories, but this one told about an American muscle car by Sam of Hard-Up Garage is particularly good. It involves the man's lifelong love of Knight Rider and his quest to recreate KITT not only for himself, but also for his son. Before you watch the video, a word of warning: if you don't know a lot about England and the different car-related laws and terms, it can be easy to get confused and miss the overall story. Try not to get wrapped up in the details too much, because ultimately what happens is pretty funny. Every car guy's dream is that his son or daughter will carry on the torch of automotive enthusiasm. That usually comes with the desire for your kids to love the same cars you do, something which doesn't always work out. Same was fortunate that his youngest became a Knight Rider nut like him, which meant drooling over any 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, especially ones that are black, like KITT. Of course, the ultimate goal was to make a complete recreation of the television car. That might not seem like a huge deal in America, where we have many Knight Rider KITT reproduction cars and people can be ultra-critical of the details on them. Pontiacs aren't as common in Britain, so making a copy of the hero car is a little more difficult and requires much more dedication. The other part of the story that's great is how Sam was able to outsmart a cop who really was just trying to be a jerk, at least from Sam's perspective. Pretty much everyone has been there at least once. Maybe you've faced the prospect of losing your prized car because of a dumb decision or a cop on a power trip going after a minor indiscretion. Whatever it was, it's great to hear about someone getting the upper hand in that kind of situation. Sadly, they don't all end so happily.
