The superb cast for season 1 of Mike White's excellent satire The White Lotus was a real treat, and from the looks of the people he's hiring for the second season, we can look forward to some more excellent performances. Tom Hollander, F. Murray Abraham, Adam DiMarco and Haley Lu Richardson are the latest group preparing to check in.
The White Lotus's first season was set at the titular exclusive resort in Hawaii, but for the next batch of episodes, the setting will move to a different White Lotus property and an all-new group of entitled holiday-makers causing trouble for the overworked staff. Well, we say, "all new", but hopes are high that Jennifer Coolidge is returning as Tanya McQuoid.
Abraham plays Bert Di Grasso, an elderly man traveling with his son, Dominic Di Grasso (Imperioli), and grandson, Albie Di Grasso (DiMarco), a recent college graduate. Hollander is Quentin, an English expat, vacationing with his friends and his nephew. Richardson plays Portia, who arrives with her boss, which Deadline has heard could be Coolidge's character. We can but hope!
They join Michael Imperioli and Aubrey Plaza who are already aboard, with White back to write and direct.
