Aubrey Plaza Joins HBO's The White Lotus Season 2

Aubrey Plaza has joined the cast for the second season of HBO's The White Lotus. This is just the latest big casting announcement for the sophomore season, as it follows the news that The Sopranos star Michael Imperioli has also been cast in the upcoming season.

Both Plaza and Imperioli will be series regulars, according to Deadline.

"Plaza will play Harper Spiller, a woman on vacation with her husband and his friends. Imperioli plays Dominic Di Grasso, a man traveling with his elderly father and recent college-graduate son," the website reported.

Season 1 focused on a group of vacationers who travel to Hawaii to stay at a hotel called The White Lotus. Season 2 will reportedly take place at a different White Lotus resort in some other part of the world, featuring a new cast (except for Jennifer Coolidge, who is rumored to return). Like Season 1, the next season is written and directed by Mike White, who previously wrote the Jack Black movies School of Rock and Orange County.

There is no word yet on when The White Lotus Season 2 will arrive, but it'll presumably be available on HBO Max when it does. On the more immediate horizon, The Suicide Squad spinoff Peacemaker starring John Cena hits HBO Max on January 13--read our Peacemaker review here--while the next Game of Thrones show, House of the Dragon, premieres later in 2022.
