HBO knew they had a critical hit when they released “The White Lotus” last July, but they probably didn’t expect it to end up being the most-awarded series at the Emmys this year. Mike White‘s limited series cleaned up at the awards ceremony last month, notching Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series, among others. Good thing that the next installment of episodes is right around the corner, just in time for the 75th Emmys next year.
The new season follows a familiar set-up as the last one, following the dysfunctional guests and employees at the fictional White Lotus resort chain. Last season took place in Hawaii, but this new batch of episodes heads to Sicily with a new cast of troubled vacationers.
F. Murray Abraham, Adam DiMarco, Beatrice Grannó, Megann Fahy, and Jon Gries star in the new episodes. Also starring is Tom Hollander, Sabrina Impacciatore, Michael Imperioli, Theo James, Aubrey Plaza, and Haley Lu Richardson. While Sharpe, Simona Tabasco, and Leo Woodall round out the main cast, with Jennifer Coolidge returning to reprise her role from season one.
Mike White writes and directs “The White Lotus” season two, as he did in the previous season. He also serves as co-executive producer on the show with David Bernad and Mark Kamine.
Will the latest batch of “The White Lotus” episodes pick up where the last limited series left off? Find out on October 30, when the series hits HBO and HBO Max. Watch a trailer for the show below.
