Who’s Who in The White Lotus season two
There's another boatload of guests checking into the White Lotus Sicily—here’s a primer on who they are and what they’re all about
TV Features Quentin Tom Hollander
When The White Lotus debuted last year on HBO no one knew it would become a hit, let alone an ongoing anthology—including creator Mike White. He originally wrote it as a one-off limited series, but when the show took off with both viewers and critics, he went back to the drawing board. We’re about to get another season of social satire aimed at rich, privileged white people with a new scenic backdrop and a (mostly) new cast of detestable yet compelling characters. Can the next installment capture that same magic? You’ll have to tune in for the season-two premiere on October 30 to find out.
Season two kicks things off in Sicily with another dead body, and then tops that with a hint of more deaths to come. The new guests include a mismatched pair of couples traveling together, three generations of men looking to connect with their Sicilian roots, and season one’s Tanya McQuoid (Emmy-winner Jennifer Coolidge), on vacation with her husband and her assistant. Read on to find out more about them and the other characters we’ll be meeting this season.

Tom Hollander looks like Fat Dennis got his life together.
Meghann Fahy has always been one great role away from stardom. I don’t often care much for actors but she’s a fantastic performer.
PREYED upon, not prayed upon, unless they are dead and it’s their funeral.
As aloof as Gries was to his relationship with Coolidge in the first season (“sure, I’ll keep the party going”), I’m honestly surprised he proposed. I’ll go out on a limb and guess that she did the asking.
Ah, Theo James. No matter what role he’s in, no matter how dreamy or menacing he’s supposed to be, he’ll always be the shit-snorting fuckwit from The Inbetweeners Movie…
I was a bit bummed about season two, as I thought the anthology idea meant a 100% different case each season. I personally thought Coolidge was one of the worst characters from the first, so could have easily done without her.Also, I’m willing to give it a chance despite Plaza. As long as she doesn’t play Aubrey Plaza, she should be fine. Hopefully. When I saw she was part of the cast it immediately knocked my interest down a rung.
Can anyone actually flag the cheap pharma spam comment from ‘maiscv’??If I try I get a blank windowJesus , this place is falling apart.
