White Lotus 2 Trailer and Release Date Released: Plot and Cast
Images from the recently released trailer herald the highly anticipated second installment of the award-winning The White Lotus. In seven episodes, the series, which changes its setting from Hawaii, projecting us into the beauties of Sicily, will also see some local faces involved in the casting.
With 10 stellar Emmys won over the past year, the acclaimed social satire from Mike White – creator, director, writer and executive producer of The White Lotus – is the most awarded television series of the past season. Abandoned the idyllic resort town of Hawaii from the first chapter, the stunning beauties of Sicily are the backdrop for new episodes of last summer’s HBO reveal. The seven new episodes take place at an exclusive resort in Taormina and follow the experience of various guests and employees over a week-long period. The series will be available from November 7 exclusively on Sky and streaming only on NOW. Broadcast day is set every Monday on Sky Atlantic with one episode per week.
