‘The White Lotus’ Heads to Sicily for Season 2 as HBO Unveils First Look (PHOTOS)
The White Lotus is trading in the lush beaches of Hawaii for the sweeping landscapes of Sicily in a first look at Season 2 of the Emmy-nominated comedy.
The anthology series is set to come back in October, according to HBO which unveiled several sneak peek images of the star-studded cast.

And Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) is traveling once again, but this time she’s not alone as she’s accompanied by Portia (Haley Lu Richardson), a young woman she employs. Will Tanya terrorize Portia as she did the staff and guests of Hawaii’s White Lotus resort?
It’s a family affair for the Di Grassos as Bert (F. Murray Abraham), his son Dominic (Michael Imperioli), and grandson Albie (Adam DiMarco) celebrate the latter’s college graduation.
And keep an eye out for Mia (Beatrice Grannó) and Lucia (Simona Tabasco), two local Sicilian women who hang out around the hotel.
