The White Lotus is an American black comedy-drama anthology television series created by Mike White for HBO. It follows the guests and employees of the fictional White Lotus resort chain whose stay is affected by their various psychosocial dysfunctions. It was originally envisioned as a limited series, but was converted to an anthology series, and has been renewed most recently for a third season.[1] Both seasons have been well-received critically. The first season holds a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes,[2] while the second season garnered a rating of 93%.[3]
The first season received 11 nominations at the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards across five categories, winning for each, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Writing and Outstanding Directing for White, Outstanding Supporting Actress for Jennifer Coolidge, and Outstanding Supporting Actor for Murray Bartlett. It was also nominated for nine Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards across eight categories, winning a further five Emmys. It was the series that won the most Emmys across both ceremonies.[4] From 2024 onwards, The White Lotus will no longer be eligible to compete in the limited series category at the Emmy Awards ceremonies and will move to the drama category.[5]
The second season received 12 nominations at the 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards across five categories and 11 nominations at the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards across 10 categories.
The series was included in the American Film Institute Awards' top ten Programs of the Year list for 2021 and 2022. Coolidge is the most nominated actor for their work on the series, including Golden Globe Awards, Critics' Choice Television Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards wins. Cristobal Tapia de Veer is the most nominated crew member for his work as a composer, including two Emmy wins. The second season also won the Golden Globe for Best Limited or Anthology Series, and the cast won a Screen Actors Guild award for their performances.
