HBO Announces Premiere Date for The White Lotus Season 2

The White Lotus is returning soon to a screen near you.

Fresh off a 10-Emmy victory for its first installment, the HBO original has announced it will return for Season 2 on Sunday, October 30. The second season of the social satire will abandon its tropical Hawaiian setting and head to Italy, introducing us to an entirely new cast (with the exception of Emmy winner Jennifer Coolidge and costar Jon Gries). 

Set at an "exclusive Sicilian resort", Season 2 will once again explore the inner lives and exploits of the resort's guests and employees over the course of a week.

Created, written, and directed by Mike White, The White Lotus's second season will feature a star-studded cast, including Coolidge, F. Murray Abraham, Tom Hollander, Michael Imperioli, Theo James, Jon Gries, Aubrey Plaza, and more. 

The White Lotus Season 2 will debut on Sunday, October 30 at 9 p.m. ET/PT and will be available to stream on HBO Max.
