Mike White

Leslie Bibb (Jupiter's Legacy), Dom Hetrakul (Bangkok Dangerous), Jason Isaacs (Lucis Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise), Michelle Monaghan (True Detective), Parker Posey (Lost in Space) and newcomer Tayme Thapthimthong will be joining the returning Natasha Rothwell for the Thailand-based instalment.

Filming will take place in and around Koh Samui, Phuket and Bangkok, where the drama will follow a new group of guests at another luxurious White Lotus resort.

White privilege, sexual identity and racial dynamics were among the themes served up alongside the infinity pools and swanky cocktails at an uber-luxurious Hawaiian hotel in the first season of Mike White’s lacerating satire, the Emmy-garlanded The White Lotus.

In season two, which began at the end of last month, the location switches to sun-soaked Sicily. Once again, we are in the company of a group of rich Americans holidaying in a luxury hotel and trying their hardest to make paradise work for them.
