The original ‘The White Lotus’ is a comedy-drama series that was initially intended to be a limited series of six parts. The series premiered on 11th July 2021 on HBO and received great feedback. HBO did not want to sleep on the success, so they immediately renewed it for another season as an anthology series. The second season is set to premiere in October. The series has been written, created, and directed by Mike White, who also accompanies Nick Hall and David Bernad as executive producers.
The first season was full of talented cast members, including Jennifer Coolidge, Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Sydney Sweeney, Jake Lacy, and more. The second season has changed things up and added some new faces along with the previous stars who might appear for guest roles. The new cast members include Aubrey Plaza, Michael Imperioli, Adam DiMarco, Tom Hollander, Haley Lu Richardson, and F. Murray Abraham.
