Aubrey Plaza is heading for a “White Lotus” vacation. “The Parks and Recreation” favorite has been tapped to star in the upcoming second season of the dark comedy from creator Mike White. Season two of the HBO comedy will say farewell to Hawaii and be set at a different “White Lotus” property as the social satire follows a new group of vacationers. Sources say Italy is being eyed as the location for season two, though HBO has remained mum on that detail. Plaza will play Harper Spiller, a woman on vacation with her husband and his friends. She joins the previously announced Michael Imperioli, who plays Dominic Di Grasso, a man traveling with his elderly father and recent college-graduate son. Both will be series regulars in season two, which is rumored to feature the return of season one favorite Jennifer Coolidge. White again serves as writer, director and exec producer. David Bernad and Mark Kamine also exec produce. Season one of “The White Lotus” was filmed entirely on location in Hawaii as White and his star-studded cast. Following its critical success, HBO renewed the “limited series” for a second run. (SD-Agencies) |
