Jennifer Coolidge returns to “White Lotus” to play Tanya McQuoid for Season 2 of HBO Max series created by Mike White and she’s ready for fans to meet a new side of her character.

“This was really fun for me because the entire length of ‘The White Lotus’ 1 was a grief-stricken woman and there are spurts of bright light because she met this amazing woman, Belinda and Tanya felt like she was truly being saved by someone,” Coolidge told Reuters at a red carpet event in Los Angeles. “In Season 2 it was fun to be in a different realm, grief is over.”

Season 2 stars Coolidge along with fellow returner Jon Gries and newcomers F. Murray Abraham, Meghann Fahy, Adam DiMarco and others as they navigate a fictional White Lotus resort, this time in Sicily and get more than they bargained for. Gries, who plays Tanya’s husband, Greg Hunt said he thinks surprise this season will by far supersede surprise in Season 1, which was set in Hawaii. “Theme of this one is more about relationships and less about abuse of money. It’s ultimately about ways we can abuse each other in very subtle ways, by miscommunicating we can put each other in bad positions.” F. Murray Abraham, who plays Bert Di Grasso, believes audiences will relate to characters. “These are real people and they have some real problems,” Abraham said.

“And they’re really funny too.” Characters this season must face unique conflicts that audiences haven’t seen in this series yet, he said. Season 2 of “White Lotus” premieres on October 30, 2022 on HBO Max.–Agencies
