Be prepared to get hooked with the second season of the hit series The White Lotus!

The first season of The White Lotus felt like it arrived out of nowhere, but immediately grabbed our attention with its big central mystery.

If you haven’t watched it yet, all of the first season is available to stream with a NOW Entertainment Membership, and we highly recommend you check it out ahead of the arrival of The White Lotus Season 2.

Without spoiling anything for anyone, there were actually TWO big mysteries at the centre of that first season:

(1) Someone was killed. Who was the victim? And…

(2) Someone killed them. Who was the murderer?

We do get answers to those big questions by the end of that first season, but it also sets us up excitedly for this new story…

So… what do we know so far?

Tantalisingly, very little.

We will see Tanya from season one return, played by Jennifer Coolidge, who won countless awards for her performance in that Hawaii-set story, but this time she’s holidaying in the visually resplendent Italian locale of Sicily.

We know that Coolidge will be joined by an equally impressive cast, including Aubrey Plaza (Parks & Rec), Theo James (The Time Traveller’s Wife) and Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos).

But beyond that? The show’s creators have been keeping their cards very close to their chests. Is there another murder and murderer? Or will the mystery revolve around a different crime of passion entirely? Thankfully we don’t have to wait long to find out…

The first episode of The White Lotus Season 2 will be available to stream with a NOW Entertainment Membership from Monday, 31 October.
