With the drama unfolding at the Italian branch of the titular resort this time, The White Lotus season 2 follows an almost entirely brand new cast, bar Jennifer Coolidge and Jon Gries, who play heiress Tanya McQuoid-Hunt and her husband Greg respectively.

New additions to the cast include Tom Hollander, Michael Imperioli, Aubrey Plaza and Theo James, with a trailer previously giving fans a look at Plaza in action as Harper Spiller, a woman whose holiday with her husband and his friends soon takes a dark turn.

The video also gave fans their first look at Emmy winner Jennifer Coolidge, who is reprising her role as socialite Tanya McQuoid.

“Whenever I stay at a White Lotus, I always have a memorable time, always," she says as she relaxes under the Sicilian sun. But of course, it doesn't look like her tranquil trip is going to stay that way for long.
