HBO‘s The White Lotus was the show of the summer. A sun-soaked confection mixing scathing hot social satire with an overwhelming sense of dread. The White Lotus finale delivered a devastating ending and yet left us wanting more. The good news is it already seems that the show’s writer and director Mike White is game to deliver.
The White Lotus was initially pitched as a limited series, following a group of wealthy vacationers to a luxurious Hawaii resort. Only instead of getting a relaxing vacay, all of them had to confront various existential crises. Newlyweds Shane (Jake Levy) and Rachel (Alexandra Daddario) found their marriage fraying from the start, while the grieving Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) struggled to come to peace with her mother’s passing. Through it all, though, the main tension came down to class. And the knowledge that by the end of the week, one of them would be dead.
So now that one season of The White Lotus is done, does HBO have plans for another? Here’s everything we know so far about The White Lotus Season 2….
Will The White Lotus Have a Season 2?
Yes! HBO has already renewed The White Lotus for a second season. According to the original press release, “The next chapter of The White Lotus leaves Hawaii behind and follows a different group of vacationers as they jet to another White Lotus property and settle in temporarily amongst its inhabitants.” Meaning that writer/director Mike White will be working with a whole new group of actors dealing with drama in a whole new exotic location. (Though we at Decider secretly hope that at least one character from the first season returns.)
So, yes, more White Lotus is coming, but don’t expect Sydney Sweeney’s Olivia Mossbacher or Natasha Rothwell’s Belinda to show up.
When Will The White Lotus Season 2 Premiere on HBO and HBO Max?
Probably Spring or Summer 2022! We guess-timate that based on the fact that The White Lotus Season 1 was ordered and started filming in October 2020. That means that provided Mike White is already working on Season 2, scripts could be locked down by the end of this year, or sooner. Then it would take about nine months for the season to hit our screens.
Of course, genius can’t be rushed, so who knows?
