“Whenever I stay at a White Lotus, I always have a memorable time,” says Emmy winner Jennifer Coolidge as Tanya in the show’s Season Two trailer. “Always.”
After getting nominated for 20 Emmy Awards and taking home 10 for its first season, the second season premiered back in October, with creator Mike White and Co. taking viewers to Italy.
“The White Lotus Season Two is definitely not boring,” writes Alan Sepinwall in our Rolling Stone review. “Once again, it boasts a great cast — Emmy-winning returnee Jennifer Coolidge is joined by the likes of Aubrey Plaza, Michael Imperioli, and F. Murray Abraham, among others — gorgeous scenery, and the acidic wit of writer-director Mike White.”
Like the first season of the series, the satirical show takes viewers on a trip with the resort’s guests and employees, but this time, it’s set in Taormina, Sicily.

Will There Be a White Lotus Season 3?
Yes, The White Lotus will return with more drama for Season Three. HBO renewed the hit franchise for a third season in November, weeks before Season Two even wrapped. “There’s no place I’d rather work than HBO,” White said in a press release following the renewal. “I feel so lucky to get this opportunity again and am excited to reunite with my amazingly talented collaborators on The White Lotus.” Unfortunately, fans of the show will have to wait a little longer to see which stars will be part of the new round of guests — and the location they’ll vacation at next.
Can You Still Watch The White Lotus Season 1?
If you want to start the series from the beginning, you can now stream the complete series, including the Season Two finale, on HBO Max.

Last summer, HBO confirmed that the show would return for another season, though details about the plot and location weren’t revealed until recently. “Mike has once again delivered a quintessential HBO show, and it’s the talk of the town,” HBO’s Executive Vice President of Programming Francesca Orsi said in a statement following the first season’s finale. “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.”
What Are Mike White’s Other Shows and Movies?
The White Lotus creator Mike White, who also serves as the series’ writer, director, and one of the executive producers, is behind a bunch of critically-acclaimed projects, including the excellent, two-season HBO series Enlightened featuring co-creator and star Laura Dern. Enlightened is streaming on HBO Max now. In addition to writing The Good Girl and producing Nacho Libre, White also wrote and starred in the hit 2003 film School of Rock, alongside Jack Black, which is streaming on Amazon Prime.
