There have been some developments and we are pretty sure you will like them if season 2 has got you intrigued. Here is what we know about a potential third season of HBO’s White Lotus.
What is White Lotus season 2 about?
White Lotus follows an anthology format. Each season, until now, has had a different story. Both of them have been set in White Lotus resorts in different locations. While season 1 was set in Hawaii, the second season is set in picturesque Sicily, where parts of the first Godfather movie were also shot (fun fact, they also feature in episode 3 of this season). Only Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) and Greg (John Gries) are the returning members of the cast. Season 2 once again focuses on tourists from foreign lands coming on vacation. The Spillers and Sullivans (Aubrey Plaza & Will Sharpe, and Theo James & Meghann Fahy, respectively) and the Di Grasso family (Michael Imperioli, Adam DiMarco, and Murray F. Abraham) feature prominently. There are plenty of other interesting characters with stories of their own to tell. In summary, the plot of White Lotus’ season 2 revolves around the at times intersecting lives of these tourists and the dark secrets of their personal lives that come out during their confrontation with each other.
Has White Lotus been renewed for season 3?
The answer is yes! HBO confirmed last night that the show has been renewed for a third season. The News came when season 2 had not even completed half its run. That just goes on to show how confident the network is of the show’s appeal and promise to people. The anthology format will be followed for the third season, and sadly, none of the members of the cast will reprise their roles, perhaps with the wanton exception of Tanya and Greg (if he makes it out alive from season 2). Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO Programming and head of HBO drama series and films, released the following statement with the announcement: It was also confirmed that creator Mike White will be coming back as the showrunner, as has been the case for both the seasons till now. White expressed his happiness at the renewal and said that the new season will follow a similar style and tone.
What we know about season 3 so far:
At this point, nothing. The announcement just came and anything we say right now will be nothing more than speculation. It is quite unlikely that White and the writers’ room have themselves started to theorize a storyline for a new season. As and when that happens, be sure to check back here as we will come up with updated details. Are you excited to see White Lotus return for a third season? What did you think of the show?
