The White Lotus is an American black comedy drama anthology series created by Mike White for HBO, which debuted on 11 July 2021. The show chronicles the interactions and experiences of guests and staff during a week at a luxurious global resort hotel chain. The inaugural season was filmed in Hawaii, while the second season took place in Sicily, and the upcoming third season is set in Thailand.
Initially greenlit as a miniseries in October 2020, HBO restructured it into an anthology series by August 2021. The second season aired from 30 October to 11 December 2022, and the third season is scheduled to run from 16 February to 6 April 2025, having been postponed due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. The series has also been confirmed for a fourth season.
Critics have praised "The White Lotus" for its writing, performances, humor, and production quality, leading to numerous accolades. It has won 15 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, and two Golden Globe Awards for Best Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film. Jennifer Coolidge received several awards for her roles in the first two seasons, securing two Primetime Emmys and a Golden Globe, while Mike White earned two Emmys for his writing and directing efforts.
