HBO's The White Lotus' season 2 finale leaves fans polarised
The much-anticipated finale of The White Lotus ended with the deaths of fan-favorite Tanya and also, Quentin and Niccoló.
Fans had predicted that the last episode would see the end of some major characters but never expected Tanya to bite the bullet.
Despite several fans enjoying the unexpected final episode, some have said that it was confusing and didn't make sense. The fact that Tanya died even after killing the bad guys bothered a lot of users on Twitter. Also, it was never revealed if Greg was cheating on her as Quentin died after getting shot.
Greg, her husband, concocted a plan with Quentin in order to kill Tanya and inherit her wife's fortune.
Apart from Tanya's demise, fans are also confused about Ethan and Daphne's story. Throughout the series, it seemed like he was going to cheat on Harper with her, but in the end, people were just left with questions.
Either way, following its success, the third season of the show was announced in November 2022 and fans will be expecting answers upon its release.
A peek into the trailer, plot, and cast of The White Lotus season 2
The official HBO description of Season 2 reads:
"Mike White's Emmy-winning series returns for Season 2, following various guests over the span of a week in the White Lotus's Sicily location. While a darker side of the picture-perfect travelers begins to emerge, the hotel's professional but prickly manager tries to keep two young locals – each striving to get ahead by different means – out of her luxury establishment."
Directed by Mike White, The White Lotus follows the stories of various guests and employees over the span of a week in a fictional resort chain called White Lotus. The first season is set in Hawaii and the second season is set in Sicily.
White envisioned the second season taking place in a political setting, such as a Bilderberg conference, but scrapped the idea and chose Italy instead.
Season 2 stars F. Murray Abraham, Jennifer Coolidge, Adam DiMarco, Meghann Fahy, Beatrice Grannò, Jon Gries, Tom Hollander, Sabrina Impacciatore, Michael Imperioli, Theo James, Aubrey Plaza, Haley Lu Richardson, Will Sharpe, Simona Tabasco, Leo Woodall, and several others in recurring roles.
Due to the immense popularity of the franchise, the series has now been renewed for a third season.
The show is currently streaming on HBO Max and Hotstar.
