Alright, please bring your luggage to HBO Max, as it's time to watch The White Lotus season 2, then we've got good news. A new branch of everyone's favorite hotel for rich people is full of new guests. Because while most of season 1's chaotic hotel guests aren't back for this second jaunt, Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) is. And she's not alone.
This time, the White Lotus super-fan herself is accompanied by her husband Greg (Jon Gries). But, unfortunately for Greg, Tanya's also brought along her assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson). Because that's how you spend a vacation with your spouse — by bringing a third wheel along.

The White Lotus season 2 cast
As an anthology, The White Lotus will bring in a new cast for every season. There is at least one exception, though: Jennifer Coolidge will return for season 2. It's unclear if she'll be reprising the role of Tanya McQuoid.
That's not to say Coolidge will be the only season 1 star who will be back. As White told IndieWire: "I don’t think you can credibly have [all the Season 1 guests] on the same vacation again. But maybe it could be a Marvel universe type thing, where some of them would come back."
Meanwhile, White Lotus season 2 casting announcements have revealed some of the new players hitting the resort.
According to EW, Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos) will be playing a character named Dominic Di Grasso, who is traveling with "his elderly father and recent college-graduate son." On January 10, 2022, HBO confirmed that Aubrey Plaza will be checking into The White Lotus for season 2. EW reports that her character, Harper Spiller, is on vacation with her husband and his friends.
Oscar winner and Mythic Quest star F. Murray Abraham is joining as Imperioli's elderly father. Adam DiMarco (Magicians) will play the college grad son, Albie.
