We don’t have too long to wait until The White Lotus returns to our screens for a brand new season of uncomfortable dinner conversations, unreasonable guest requests and addictive drama that’s set against a beautiful Italian backdrop.

Set in a different resort within the chain, The White Lotus season 2 will see Jennifer Coolidge reprise her role as Tanya McQuoid – however, she’ll be joined by a completely different cast of wealthy hotel guests who each arrive with their own individual baggage.

After picking up five Primetime Emmys this year, there are high hopes for The White Lotus’s second outing – and with a cast featuring Tom Hollander, Michael Imperioli, Aubrey Plaza and Theo James among other stars, we can expect season 2 to be a trip of a lifetime.

Read on for everything we know so far about The White Lotus season 2.
