'The White Lotus' Season 3 Already On the Way at HBO
Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 2 MIN.
HBO is doubling down on its audience's love of fiascos at five-star resorts. Three episodes into Season 2 of its hit show "White Lotus" and the network is already looking forward to season 3, reports Deadline.
"What started as an experiment in contained filming during the pandemic has become one of the Warner Bros. Discovery network's biggest and buzziest shows with the first episode of season two scoring over 7.6M viewers and the series ranking as the most-watched title on HBO Max," Deadline writes.
Helmed by out writer, producer and director Mike White, looks like he will soon be in the market for a new ritzy location with more problems.
The first season, premiering July 2021, famously focused on an ensemble cast in Hawaii, which included Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Alexandra Daddario, Jake Lacy, Natasha Rothwell, Sydney Sweeney, Steve Zahn, Molly Shannon, Fred Hechinger and Brittany O'Grady alongside Jennifer Coolidge.
For season two, White brought Coolidge back, fresh off of an Emmy win, and stuck with his ensemble cast formula with a whole new set of problems in Italy, including F. Murray Abraham, Michael Imperioli, Aubrey Plaza, Will Sharpe, Theo James, Meghann Fahy, Adam DiMarco, Beatrice Granno, Jon Gries, Tom Hollander, Sabrina Impacciatore, Haley Lu Richardson, Simona Tabasco and Leo Woodall.
About the show finding a home on HBO, White said: "There's no place I'd rather work than HBO and there's no people I'd rather partner with than Casey Bloys, Francesca Orsi, Nora Skinner and their incredible team. I feel so lucky to get this opportunity again and am excited to reunite with my amazingly talented collaborators on The White Lotus."
