Here's Who's Joining Season 2 of The White Lotus
Production for the second season of HBO’s The White Lotus is underway. Since the miniseries will be an anthology moving forward, it means most of the cast will look different when season two hits our screens. Luckily, we officially know who’ll be leading the season two ensemble, and yes, there is a familiar face among them.
Deadline has confirmed that Aubrey Plaza and Sopranos star Michael Imperioli have been tapped as series regulars in the second instalment of the HBO murder-mystery series, which will, once again, be written, directed, and executive produced by series creator Mike White. Plaza, who won over fans during her time on Parks and Recreation, will play a woman named Harper Spiller who checks into the White Lotus resort. There, she’ll cross paths with Imperioli’s character, Dominic Di Grasso.
Details surrounding season two’s plot, filming location, and release date have yet to be released, but we know it’ll follow the same dark vacation premise – albeit most likely at a new White Lotus hotel location. Learn more about leads Plaza and Imperioli ahead, and be sure to check back as more actors are confirmed for the season two casting list.
Jennifer Coolidge
Jennifer Coolidge is currently the only confirmed returning face for season two of the HBO hit series, Deadline has confirmed. It’s unclear whether she’ll be reprising her role as the foxy Tanya McQuoid or playing a new character altogether. Either way, Jennifer told Entertainment Tonight she hopes her season two character has “lots of romance and sex.” Her previous work includes Legally Blonde, A Cinderella Story, American Pie, Promising Woman, and Single All the Way to name a few.
