The White Lotus, a critically acclaimed HBO series, will return for a second season in October of this year. The first season of the parody was a limited series, but it was so popular that HBO decided to make it an anthology series. It will take place in Sicily, while the first season was filmed in Hawaii. Only Jennifer Coolidge, who played irrational entrepreneur Tanya McQuoid in Season 1, will return as a series regular.
In addition to the news of a fall release date, a new official photograph of Coolidge in the role of Tanya from the forthcoming season was published. In the recently published photograph, Tanya McQuoid, one of the show’s most beloved characters, is shown dressed to the nines in a beautiful ensemble. If anything, Tanya looks much as she did when in Hawaii, with her pink clothing and oversized sunglasses.
Additional cast members include Michael Imperioli, F. Murray Abraham, Adam DiMarco; Tom Hollander; Aubrey Plaza; Haley Lu Richardson; Theo James; Meghann Fahy; Will Sharpe; and Leo Woodall in The White Lotus Season 2. A recurring role for Jon Gries, who played Tanya’s love interest in the first season, has been confirmed by the network. The White Lotus’ second season will be written and directed by Mike White once again. It has been nominated for 20 prizes at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards for the first season of White Lotus.
More than a dozen actors, including Connie Britton, Sydney Sweeney, Murray Bartlett and Steve Zahn, were nominated for Emmys for their roles in the show. Mike White received an outstanding directing nod for a limited or anthology series or movie. After the Primetime Emmy Awards, the show’s second season begins on September 12. The White Lotus’ first season finale had 1.9 million views, indicating that the second season’s debut will be just as popular. Migration and Despicable Me 4 are two of the projects that the creator of The White Lotus Mike White will be working on in the near future.
With films like Chuck and Buck, School of Rock, and Beatriz at Dinner, White seemed to be on the verge of becoming a superstar before the show’s premiere. Season 2 of The White Lotus hasn’t been given a release date yet, but fans can anticipate it to air in October.
