The White Lotus, a star-studded social satire on HBO set in a luxurious Hawaiian resort, was without a doubt one of the most talked-about series of last summer. Although the season’s conclusion provides a pretty clear conclusion, future seasons of the popular series could still be produced—and some cherished characters could return for a sequel.
In reality, HBO has already revealed that The White Lotus will return for a second season, though it will appear quite different from the first six episodes.
White Lotus Season Two: Official Announcement
The show’s creator, Mike White, plans to continue the anthology series with new people and a new setting while still delivering more dark humor. The second season of The White Lotus is covered in detail here.
The critically praised first season, which received 20 Emmy nominations, including eight points in the acting categories, will be followed by the second season, White Lotus: Sicily.
According to Mike, season two will place more of an emphasis on sexual jealousy and stereotypes about masculinity and femininity and less on the power relationships between visitors and staff. Season two is “a bedroom farce with teeth,” according to White.
White Lotus Season Two: Release Date
The start of season two is set for October 2022. A month following the Emmys, White Lotus: Sicily will make its debut. The season will consist of seven episodes, according to Variety. Watch the entire first season on HBO Max in the interim.
First Look at the Show
HBO provided a sneak peek at The White Lotus season two in a preview of the new shows coming to HBO Max. It only lasts three seconds, but it features Sabrina Impacciatore as Valentina, the White Lotus resort’s manager (also known as Armond from season two), saying: “Welcome to the White Lotus in Sicily.”
Theo James and Meghann Fahy, who plays Cameron and Daphne Babcock, and Aubrey Plaza and Will Sharpe, who play married couple Harper and Ethan Spiller, can also be seen clinking glasses on a dock.

A recent HBO Max teaser from August also includes a few scenes from the new season.
