The White Lotus has received rave reviews since premiering a few weeks ago on HBO (and BINGE!).
Although glossy on the surface, featuring Hawaiian beaches and a resort-style set, the show has also been able to discuss issues of race, consent and privilege.
This difficult task was achieved through the writing of Mike White, with The Guardian saying that “his writing has always been uncomfortably incisive, but here his cuts are sharper and deeper than ever before.”
Although the original cast will be moving on, Mike White will remain at the helm, meaning we can expect the same level of comedic genius in the second season.
The rave reviews the show is receiving also often make mention of Jennifer Coolidge, who seems to be re-breaking out as a star after having performed in comedy for so long.
The 59-year-old actress, who began her career doing improvisational comedy, is best known for her work in Legally Blonde, American Pie and Two Broke Girls, where she was mostly needed to bring the laughs.
However, she has been able to show a lot of range in The White Lotus, which is being hailed as her best performance.
“Acting’s so weird. You can never tell when you’re in the midst of it,” she told The Guardian in the wake of the praise, linking her success in the role to her similarities to her character, Tanya.
With such a talented cast in place, it will be hard to see the show re-vamped without them.
However, we can’t wait to see who is involved in season two!
