Season 2 of The White Lotus has announced its return date!

The dark HBO comedy is set to premiere its sophomore season this October, featuring a mostly new cast of vacationers staying at a luxurious, all-inclusive resort in the heart of Italy, per Variety. But not all is lost from the series' first season, which earned 20 Emmy nominations — The White Lotus season 2 will bring back one familiar face.

Specifically, Jennifer Coolidge will be back as scattered singleton Tanya McQuoid, just one standout character from last season.

Though there's no official trailer for season 2 just yet, HBO snuck in a few clips from the upcoming episodes in its 2022 roundup video.

And Tanya won't be on the vacation entirely alone — her season 1 love interest, Greg (Jon Gries) is set to appear on the series, the trailer confirmed. Coolidge is seen riding a Vespa with Gries along a stretch of highway in the quick peek.
