HBO series The White Lotus casts Aubrey Plaza in second instalment

Aubrey Plaza has been tapped to star in the second season of The White Lotus, a comedy series that satirises the wealthy. 

According to Variety, Plaza will be seen as Harper Spiller, a woman who is on vacation with her husband and friends. 

While the first instalment took place in a Hawaii White Lotus resort, the new one will be set in a different location. Mike White will write, direct and executive produce Season 2. 

Plaza will be joining Michael Imperioli, whose casting was announced earlier this month. Best known for playing Christopher Moltisanti in The Sopranos, he will be seen as Dominic Di Grasso, who arrives at the White Lotus resort with his elderly father and son. 

Variety writes that Jennifer Coolidge is rumoured to return in the new season as well. However, an official confirmation from HBO is due.

Plaza is best known for her role in Parks and Recreation, where she played stoic and sarcastic April Ludgate. 

Among her next projects is Guy Ritchie’s Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre opposite Jason Statham, Hugh Grant and Josh Hartnett. She will also be seen in Emily the Criminal, set to premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.

The White Lotus Season 1 is available to stream on Disney+ Hotstar.
