‘The White Lotus Sicily’ features many familiar faces 

Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge), the wealthy, unstable woman who considered investing in Belinda’s (Natasha Rothwell) business in the first season of The White Lotus, returns in season 2. This time, she’s retreating to the Sicily resort with her now-husband, Greg Hunt (Jon Gries), who is less than pleased to find Tanya’s assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) traveling with her. Fans might remember Greg from season 1 as a White Lotus hotel guest who caught Tanya’s eye.

Valentina and Rocco are ‘The White Lotus Sicily’s version of Armond and Lani 

In the first season of The White Lotus, we met Armond (Murray Bartlett), the resort’s meticulous manager who is gets killed at the end of the season by one of the hotel guests, Shane (Jake Lacy). Armond’s Italian counterpart is Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore), another hotel manager who expects nothing but perfection from her White Lotus staff. That includes her right-hand man, Rocco (Frederico Ferrante), who is similar to the season 1 character Lani (Jolene Purdy). 

‘The White Lotus Sicily’ characters feature three generations of the Di Grasso family 

One of the groups staying at the White Lotus Sicily is the Di Grasso family. This trio consists of patriarch Bert Di Grasso (F. Murray Abraham), his son Dominic Di Grasso (Michael Imperioli), and his son Albie Di Grasso (Adam DiMarco).
