HBO has ordered a limited series from Enlightened creator Mike White.
The six-episode series, titled The White Lotus, is set to begin production in Hawaii this month, following strict COVID-19 guidelines. Murray Bartlett (Looking, Tales of the City), Connie Britton(Dirty John, Friday Night Lights) and Jennifer Coolidge (2 Broke Girls) head the cast.
"Mike is an unparalleled talent whose groundbreaking work has transformed both the film and TV space," said HBO Programming executive vp Francesca Orsi. "We couldn't be happier to collaborate with him again on yet another hilarious and perceptive piece that exposes the complexities of life and humanity itself."
The White Lotus is described as a social satire. It follows the staff and guests at a tropical resort over the course of a week. White is writing, directing and executive producing.
The cast also includes Alexandra Daddario (Baywatch, San Andreas), Fred Hechinger (Eighth Grade), Jake Lacy (Girls, Mrs. America), Brittany O'Grady (Apple's Little Voice), Natasha Rothwell (Insecure), Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria) and Steve Zahn (The Good Lord Bird).
