Lisa has not made any public comments about her involvement with the show as of yet.
The first season of The White Lotus, which was created by Mike White, made its debut on HBO in July of 2021.
The program is centered on the interactions between the guests of various branches of the White Lotus luxury hotel chain, and the show’s initial run took place in Hawaii.
The White Lotus was met with much critical acclaim and commercial success during its run, which lasted until August of 2021.
Although the project was envisioned as a miniseries, a second season was commissioned, and the show’s setting changed to Sicily, Italy.
Both seasons of the show have boasted the talents of ensemble casts, and both installments of the program have featured Jennifer Coolidge in the role of Tanya McQuoid.
The cast and crew of both seasons of The White Lotus have been nominated for and won various awards for their work on the program.
The program was renewed for a third season in November of 2022, and White hinted that the new run of episodes would take place somewhere in Asia the following month.
