On Sunday, October 30 2022, the second season of the critically acclaimed drama show The White Lotus premiered on HBO Max. This time, Mike White adds more coal to the fiery drama from the debut season as The White Lotus heads to Sicily from Hawaii.  

As we learn from the sophomore season's introductory scene, several honorable guests could meet their maker by the season's end as they get what's coming to them.

Besides that, White's plot exploration reaches greater heights as he deviates from race and class to sexual politics issues embodied in new interesting casts and a few returning from the previous season.

The second season of The White Lotus sees a set of new characters in the luxurious resort set in beautiful Sicily, Italy. Let's take a look at the new season's cast, including some returning stars.

Jennifer Coolidge as Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

The Primetime Emmy Award winner Jennifer Coolidge is one of the few stars who reprises her role from the show's premiere. Coolidge's Tanya was a recurring character who journeyed to The White Lotus, Hawaii, to bury her mother's ashes. That's where she met her husband, Greg Hunt, who accepted her with all her quirks. 

This season, Tanya travels to Sicily with her newlywed husband for a romantic getaway.

Jon Gries as Greg Hunt

Jon Gries’ Greg was a guest character in the previous season, a terminally ill well-off man who falls in love with Tanya. 

We'll be seeing more of Greg this season as he explores his newfound relationship that leaves a lot to be desired.
