The White Lotus is an American satirical comedy-drama television series created, written, and directed by Mike White that premiered on HBO on July 11, 2021.[3] [4] The series was greenlit in October 2020, filmed in Hawaii in late 2020, and features an ensemble cast including Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario, Jake Lacy, Natasha Rothwell, and Steve Zahn. The first season, consisting of six episodes, concerns the lives of the staff and guests at a tropical resort in Hawaii. Following its critical acclaim and viewership numbers, the show was renewed as an anthology series, which will tell the story of a different group of travelers during their stay at another White Lotus property.

Production [edit]

Development [edit]

On October 19, 2020, HBO gave The White Lotus a limited series order that consisted of six episodes.[3] The series was created, written and directed by Mike White. White also serves as executive producer alongside David Bernad and Nick Hall.[14] Cristobal Tapia de Veer is the series' composer and Ben Kutchins is the cinematographer for the series.[15] On August 10, 2021, HBO renewed the series for a second season.[16]

Casting [edit]

Upon the limited series order announcement, Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario, Fred Hechinger, Jake Lacy, Brittany O'Grady, Natasha Rothwell, Sydney Sweeney, and Steve Zahn were cast to star.[17] On October 30, 2020, Molly Shannon, Jon Gries, Jolene Purdy, Kekoa Kekumano, and Lukas Gage joined the cast in recurring roles.[18] Alec Merlino, who was fellow contestant on Survivor: David vs. Goliath with Mike White, was cast as a waiter.[8] Upon the announcement of second season renewal, it was reported that a predominantly new cast of characters would be focused on at another White Lotus property for the second season, though Mike White had stated there was a possibility for a few cast members from the first season to return as their characters.[19] On October 15, 2021, it was reported that Coolidge is set to return as a guest star for the second season.[20]

Filming [edit]

Principal photography for the series began in October 2020 in Hawaii under COVID-19 guidelines.[21] On November 21, 2020, it was reported that the series was halfway through filming at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea and was scheduled to film in December at locations around Maui.[22] [23]

Matthew Jacobs of TV Guide rated it 4.5 out of 5 and wrote that it is "some of the year's best television thus far."[15] Rolling Stone 's Alan Sepinwall graded it 3.5 out of 5 stars and called it "frequently uncomfortable, sometimes poetic, occasionally hilarious, and deeply idiosyncratic throughout."[27]
