Just like The White Lotus, this movie immerses us in the world of the fabulously wealthy, revealing that their world is far from ideal.

The third season of The White Lotus ended in April, and the fourth season, which will take place in France, will most likely not air until 2026 or even 2027.

But don't worry, we have a full-length replacement for you that will make the wait easier – the ironic comedy Pretty Problems.

What Is 'Pretty Problems' About?

Lindsay and Jack have been married for a long time. They both hate their jobs and are afraid to admit to each other that their relationship no longer inspires them. Everything changes when Lindsay meets Cat, a wealthy woman who invites the couple to her lavish villa.

When Lindsay and Jack arrive at Cat and Matt's home, they can't believe someone could really live in such luxury. They also meet another wealthy couple, Carrie and Kerry, on the spot.

Initially, the couple thinks that this is a great opportunity to improve their relationship. However, they soon realize that the life of the rich is not as simple as it seems.

'Pretty Problems' Is a Painfully Relatable Social Satire

The problems that Lindsay and Jack face are so relatable that you feel an instant connection with the main characters. After all, almost everyone has experienced vegetating at an unloved job, trying to make ends meet, and denying problems in relationships.

Lindsay and Jack are so eager to impress their new acquaintances that they spend money on a credit card just to appear cool.

However, what they don't know is that Cat is a constant drinker, Carrie is a serial cheater, and Matt is trying to distance himself from his wife's eccentric behavior.

'Pretty Problems' Is a Perfect Pick for Those Who Miss 'The White Lotus'

While The White Lotus explores the world of the wealthy through the eyes of those who serve them, Pretty Problems offers an insider's view – from the perspective of random guests.

It's the same toxic luxury and corrupting comfort, and the same idea that money solves everything, but it's presented through a story that could happen to anyone.

It's a perfect choice for those who value not only the glamorous interiors and sardonic humor of The White Lotus, but also its deep social reflection on why we strive so much for a world that ultimately disappoints us.
