Scroll down to check out what we know about this HBO fave…
First, do we have a trailer?
In recent news, the trailer for White Lotus Season 2 has dropped. Watch it right here:
Who will be in the cast for Season 2?
The cast of season 1 included emblematic names like Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney, Legally Blond’s Jennifer Coolidge, Nashville actress Connie Britton and Baywatch babe, Alexandra Daddario, just to name a few. For the upcoming season, it was revealed that we will be getting an almost entirely new cast. In an interview with TVLine, series creator Mike White said that all the actors only had a one-year contract and it would be unrealistic to have all the same cast on a vacation together again. He did reveal, however, that some cast members might make a return to the second season, but as different characters.
As of right now, comedy queen Jennifer Coolidge is the only one set to return, and we cannot complain. “For an actor to get a part like this; I got it twice. It’s unbelievable. I was standing under the lucky tree,” Coolidge said to Deadline. “If nothing ever happens after this, I think I’ll be alright, I’ll still be fulfilled.”
Although the old cast won’t be returning, an exciting new group of characters has been revealed.
