White Lotus season 2 release date for this October
White Lotus returning in October is great timing for it to get plenty of eyeballs from previous fans and people who missed out on the buzz from its debut season. The Emmys will be on September 12, and the series has been nominated for 20 awards for its first season. Among the nominations, Coolidge and some of her costars are nominated. White is in the running for writing and directing.
Following a group of travelers visiting the White Lotus hotel in Hawaii, the first season followed all sorts of weirdness, awkwardness, drama, and death. The bar has been set for both absurdity and success for the next season. On top of its Emmy nominations, HBO Max struck gold with the anthology series. Its finale had 1.9 million viewers and continued to grow from there. Between its self-absorbed characters, a mystery casket showed in the pilot, and all of the hilarity that accompanied the drama gathered plenty of chatter that spread the word of mouth about the series.
