Best Anthology Series You Can Stream Right Now
If, somehow, you missed the first two seasons of “The White Lotus,” here’s a quick primer: Former “Survivor” contestant (and TV writer) Mike White has written, directed, and produced every episode of this darkly comedic series following the guests at various White Lotus resorts. Both seasons (so far) have begun with the death of a guest (or guests), and then the action rewinds a week, so viewers can watch the drama unfold.
Season one took place in Hawaii and starred Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Sydney Sweeney, Steve Zahn, Fred Hechinger, Alexandra Daddario, Jake Lacy, Brittany O’Grady, and Molly Shannon as guests, and Murray Bartlett, Natasha Rothwell, Lukas Gage, and Kekoa Scott Kekumano as the White Lotus’ harried employees.
Season two brought the action to Sicily, with Coolidge’s character Tanya (and her husband) as the only returning characters, along with guests played by Aubrey Plaza, Theo James, Meghann Fahy, Will Sharpe, Haley Lu Richardson, F. Murray Abraham, Michael Imperioli, Adam DiMarco, Tom Hollander, and Leo Woodall. The White Lotus Sicily’s employees/local Italians were played by Sabrina Impacciatore, Beatrice Grannò, and Simona Tabasco.
The Emmy Award-winning series will be back for a season three. You can catch up with the first two seasons on HBO Max.
