The White Lotus Season 2 Cast & Character Guide
The White Lotus season 2 is returning to the titular resort chain, though the cast and characters will be quite different this time around. Created by Mike White, the HBO comedy-drama limited series, centered on a group of guests and employees at a fictional hotel in Hawaii, became a hit when it first aired in 2021. HBO soon renewed The White Lotus for a second season as an anthology series, set to take place at another White Lotus resort in a different location.
The White Lotus season 2 takes place in the Italian region of Sicily. The first season featured numerous memorable characters and a talented ensemble cast, including Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney.
