Continuation to the Lotus Story Line
Pack your bags, folks! We're heading back to the White Lotus resort chain for Season Two—and soon. HBO finally and officially announced that the new season will debut on Sunday, October 30, at 9 p.m. ET.
This season's confirmed vacation-goers include Sopranos star Michael Imperioli as Dominic Di Grasso, who will vacation along with his elderly father (played by F. Murray Abraham) and college graduate son (Adam DiMarco). Also confirmed is Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza, who will play Harper Spiller, a woman who arrives at the resort with her husband and his friends. Tom Hollander and Haley Lu Richardson will also be joining the cast. Though the hit series is continuing on as an anthology, we can be sure that the hotel's spa will be in use, as Jennifer Coolidge's Season One character Tanya McQuoid will also be back on vacation. Hopefully this time without any ashes to scatter. In a brand new trailer for The White Lotus Season Two below, she gushes about her favorite resort in a tranquil voiceover. "Whenever I stay at any of The White Lotus properties, it's always a memorable experience," she says. "Always."
The trailer also teases many of the stories being set up in the gorgeous Sicilian landscape. Aubrey Plaza's husband is becoming influenced by his untrustworthy friends to potentially have an affair, Michael Imperioli is living it up with two prostitutes, and F. Murray Abraham is a pervy 80-year-old man. "The women I desire remain young," he says at dinner. Meanwhile, body bags are being dragged off the beach.
On January 20, Variety reported that the Four Seasons San Domenica Palace in the Sicilian town of Taormina would be used for filming the second season of The White Lotus—and indeed, according to the hotel's website, it was closed to the public for the season until April 1. In first-look images revealed by TV Insider, we got our first glimpse at the resort, which looks downright plush. In the images, young couples and families descend on the resort, while the staff pours out to greet them. And don't forget Tanya—she's there too, with an assistant in tow. Will this person fare better than Brenda, the last woman in Tanya's employ? "It's not like she's gonna be in our bed and stuff," she jokes to her husband, Greg (Jon Gries), returning from Season One.
Last August, HBO confirmed that creator Mike White's hit series would go from a miniseries to an ongoing anthology. The clever first season followed a group of travelers—newlyweds, a family, and a single woman there to scatter her mother's ashes—who all arrived at the White Lotus, a resort in Hawaii, at the same time. Over the course of a week, their storylines, along with those of the hotel's staff, intertwined to ultimately arrive at a sinister end.
"Mike has once again delivered a quintessential HBO show, and it's the talk of the town," said Francesca Orsi, Home Box Office's executive vice president of programming. "We were thrilled to hear where he wanted to go next, after closing this epic chapter in Hawaii and can't wait to keep following him wherever he takes us."
