Synopsis of The White Lotus

The White Lotus is an American anthology series created, written and directed by Mike White for HBO. Each season is set at a different hotel in the fictional White Lotus chain. The first takes place in Maui, Hawaii, during a week when guests arrive hoping to relax and recharge in a tropical paradise. The resort staff attends to every detail with a smile, and the travelers seem perfect at first glance. Tensions and worries between the two groups are something the calm of the place can't quite hide. The first season's cast includes Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario, Fred Hechinger, Jake Lacy, Brittany O'Grady, Natasha Rothwell, Sydney Sweeney and Steve Zahn.

Trivia about The White Lotus

Australia was the first filming option, but eight-week work visas, the longest available in 2020, were not enough for a full season.

The idea partly grew out of an earlier White project, The Tears of St. Patsy, which no network picked up and which would have starred Jennifer Coolidge.

All regular cast members are paid standard rates, about 40,000 dollars per episode in season 3, and that rule is not negotiable.

White called the project a "dream job" because it lets her burn the house down at the end of each season and start over.

The third season was filmed in Thailand partly because the series received a 4.4 million dollar tax incentive for shooting there.

Four Seasons saw more web traffic, bookings and occupancy at its Maui and Sicily hotels after appearing in the series.

Post-production on the third season took place in Kauai, in an improvised editing suite inside a timeshare apartment across from White's house.

In the third season, the only Emmy the series won was for the main title theme music, composed by Cristobal Tapia de Veer.
