The White Lotus is a comedy-drama anthology TV series created by Mike White for HBO. Tracks guests and employees of the White Lotus resort chain that remain due to various disruptions. The first season will be set in Hawaii and the second season will be set in Sicily.
The show’s success led HBO to renew it as a Drama series, with a second season set to premiere on October 30, 2022.
In addition to Jennifer Coolidge, the second installment of the anthology series introduces a new cast of actors and actresses including F. Murray Abraham, Beatrix Grannò, Adam DiMarco, Meghann Fahy, and Theo James. While the compelling story continues to keep viewers invested in each episode, the stunning resort and sea view make it wonder where the second season of the comedy series was filmed.

Most of the main series of The White Lotus Season 2 is set in Sicily, one of the 20 regions of Italy and the largest island in the Mediterranean. San Domenico Palace in Piazza S. Domenico de Guzmán 5 years Taormina doubles as the White Lotus Resort & Spa in the second season of the series. It also appeared that the Four Seasons Hotel was used to film the opening ceremony.
Interestingly, the hotel only opened in July 2021 as the Four Seasons but has a rich history dating back to the 15th century. This place was originally occupied by a religious monastery. It was converted into a hotel at the end of the 19th century with the addition of a Liberty-style wing. The hotel gained popularity when it hosted some famous guests such as Oscar Wilde, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, and others.
The filming unit also used La Cambusa at 3 Via Schisò in Giardini Naxos when they changed the restaurant’s original number to White Lotus Resort Sicily. According to reports, a piazza and a villa in the mountains, south of Noto, were also used for shooting purposes.
