HBO’s The White Lotus has seen its demand continue to increase over the course of its third season.
The anthology drama was 60.2 times more in demand than the average TV show in Canada during the week of March 17 to 23, according to Parrot Analytics. This represents the second-highest overall demand behind Prime Video’s Invincible, which had a demand average of 69.9 a week following its season three finale.
The White Lotus follows the lives of the guests, staff and locals at the titular resort. The third season, primarily filmed at Four Seasons’ resort in Thailand, premiered on Crave in Canada on Feb. 16.

Marking its first time on the Hot Sheet at No. 7 is Netflix’s Adolescence with a demand average of 33.5. The British crime drama follows the story of a 13-year-old accused of murdering his female classmate. Adolescence premiered on March 13. The show has exploded online following its release and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has supported an initiative from Netflix to stream the show for free in secondary schools to increase understanding of online radicalization and the impact of misogyny.

Parrot Analytics calculates its Top 10 lists using Demand Expressions, which are shown by using a metric that demonstrates how much more in-demand the top series are than the average TV show (linear, pay TV, SVOD and AVOD) in Canada. For example, a difference of 1x represents the market average and 10x means a series is 10 times more in demand than the average TV show in this market. Demand is defined as the total audience demand being expressed for a title within a market. Audience demand reflects the desire, engagement and viewership, weighted by importance; thus, a stream or download is a higher expression of demand than a “like” or comment.
