Who could forget the shenanigans of Sydney Sweeney and Jennifer Coolidge’s characters as they swanned about in a luxury Hawaiian resort, completely oblivious to their own privilege.
The first season of The White Lotus was an eye-opening glimpse into the lives of the rich and dissatisfied, providing an astute commentary on class structure and the wealth divide.
It became one of the sleeper hits of the pandemic – so it’s hardly surprising it’s back for a second season, although instead of the States the guests will be fretting over their ‘problems’ in an upscale Sicilian resort.
In the first teaser for the latest season, shared on the programme’s Instagram account, fans are shown the sign for the lavish hotel, named ‘White Lotus, Resort & Spa Sicily.’
It is hung up on a beige wall and is positioned just above a collection of plants, including a cactus, and is below an ornate lantern.
The clip, which only lasts a few seconds, also shows a couple of hotel staff, one wearing a terracotta orange jacket, walk past the sign.
Viewers were quick to flock to the teaser, with one writing: ‘All I want is Jennifer Coolidge trying to speak Italian and I’m good.’

Another penned: ‘I need more!!! Can’t wait!!’
‘The music in the show has me on edge the whole damn time lol,’ a third remarked.
Plot details for season two have been kept under wraps, but executive producer Dave Barnard has given fans a taste of what to expect.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘What I’m really proud of in season two is it’s a completely different idea. Season one is very specific to Hawaii. Season two is very specific to Sicily and the issues that are going on — the cultural, thematic ideas of Sicily are obviously much different than Hawaii.

‘It feels like its own moral tale, and has its own vibe. But it also feels in the same DNA. Cristobal [Tapia de Veer], the composer, is back, and it’ll feel connected spiritually, but it is its own complete idea.’
Coolidge is the only actor from the first series to reprise her role, and will be joining new cast members F Murray Abraham, Adam DiMarco, Tom Hollander, Michael Imperioli, Aubrey Plaza, Haley Lu Richardson, Theo James, Meghann Fahy, Will Sharpe and Leo Woodall.
The White Lotus season two premieres this October on HBO Max in the US, with a UK release date to follow.
