The White Lotus is an American black comedy drama anthology television series created by Mike White for HBO that premiered on July 11, 2021. The series follows the exploits of the guests and staff during a week spent at a luxury global resort hotel chain. The first season was filmed and is set in Hawaii, the second in Sicily and the third in Thailand.
The White Lotus was greenlit in October 2020 as a miniseries but was adapted to an anthology series by HBO in August 2021: its second season aired from October 30 to December 11, 2022, and its third season is set to run from February 16 until April 6, 2025, being delayed due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. The series has been renewed for a fourth season.
The series has been acclaimed by critics for its writing, acting, humor, and production values and has received several accolades: it has won 15 Primetime Emmy Awards – including for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series – and 2 Golden Globes, including for Best Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film. Jennifer Coolidge won several awards for her performances in the first and second seasons, including two Primetime Emmys and a Golden Globe, while White won two Emmys for his writing and directing.
