When The White Lotus aired its first season in the summer of 2021, it was a gift for the content-starved. Creator Mike White had gotten HBO to pay for a Hawaiian vacation in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, then came back with a biting social satire set at a high-end resort. Audiences ate it up.
Then the question became: Could he do it again? HBO quickly renewed The White Lotus for a second season, with the catch that White would be anthologizing his show, heading to a different resort locale with an almost entirely new cast of characters. (Obviously Jennifer Coolidge would be back, because why would you get rid of Jennifer Coolidge?)
