Executive producer Nick Hall said he and White "have been talking about this show for over 15 years" and also credited HBO executives Casey Bloys, Francesca Orsi and Nora Skinner with helping bring The White Lotus to fruition.

"To all the other incredibly talented people at HBO, we are so lucky to be a part of your family. To our exceptional cast and crew. You showed up every day, in the midst of global uncertainty, away from loved ones, and gave your heart and soul and passion to this show," Hall said, referring to the series' shoot in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We share this with the entire White Lotus family, and to my mom and dad — my mom is here as my date, my dad's watching at home," he added. "Thank you for your unconditional love and a lifetime of sacrifice, and I hope you can finally forgive me for not being a doctor. Thank you."

Released in October 2021 and based on Beth Macy's Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America, the Hulu limited series chronicled how a deadly opioid epidemic in the U.S. was spurred by decisions from Purdue Pharma leadership.

The story centered on Dr. Samuel Finnix, a physician swept up by misinformation about the highly addictive nature of OxyContin — a role for which Keaton was nominated for outstanding lead actor in a limited series for the role.

Will Poulter was also nominated for outstanding supporting actor in a limited series for the show. Kaitlyn Dever and Mare Winningham both earned nods in the outstanding supporting actress category.

HBO's The White Lotus was widely praised for its darkly humorous telling of a surprisingly twisty (and twisted!) few days at a Hawaiian luxury resort.

The series — which trailed only Succession in 2022 nominations — netted acting nods for stars Steve Zahn, Murray Bartlett, Jake Lacy, Connie Britton, Sydney Sweeney, Alexandra Daddario, Jennifer Coolidge and Natasha Rothwell.

Season 2 is slated to premiere in October and follows Coolidge's Tanya McQuoid mingling with a whole new cast of characters in Italy.
