Tanya McQuoid (McQuoid-Hunt if you want to get technical). For many, she is the shining star of "The White Lotus" franchise, and not just because she is one of only two characters to make an appearance in both seasons. Played by the always-extraordinary Jennifer Coolidge, Tanya is a supremely wealthy woman who also just happens to live with a supreme amount of insecurity. Season 2 finds her married to Greg Hunt — the pretty shady dude that Tanya falls in love with while staying at the Hawaiian White Lotus in season 1 — and while she may have finally found love, her self-doubt is on full display now more than ever. Only after Greg (Jon Gries) unexpectedly leaves her to take care of some work-related business (I.E. an affair), does Tanya finally find her stride by teaming up with a group of "high-end gays" that befriend her at the Sicilian resort.

This article contains spoilers for The White Lotus season 2 finale.
The tide has finally come in on The White Lotus season 2, and boy that episode 1 tease of “a few” deaths really paid off. Since we first saw Daphne (Meghann Fahy) discover a floating corpse in the seas of Sicily, we’ve been on the edge of our seats to find out which unlucky guests were going to kick the bucket.
In the end, it was fan-favorite Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) who sipped her last Aperol Spritz, but not before she took a few of her devious captors with her. The bodies quickly piled up, but did a throwaway line in Dec. 11’s “Arrivederci” secretly kill the show’s big bad… or set them up for a return in the already confirmed season three?
Eagle-eyed viewers were on the money that Tanya’s new pals weren’t just fashionable gays trying...

“The White Lotus”, creator Mike White’s Emmy-winning social satire, is officially returning with season 3. Like the first two, the new instalment will take place at another one of the luxury hotel’s exotic locations, where a new group of guests and employees will find their lives clashing in unexpected ways.
Although HBO has not officially revealed any new or returning cast members, including Jennifer Coolidge, or where the new episodes will take place, White has shared some of his ideas while members of the sprawling ensemble have weighed in with Et about whether they would return.
As anticipation builds for another instalment, here’s everything we know about the cast and the location of “The White Lotus” season 3.

Months before she took home an Emmy for playing vacationing multimillionaire Tanya McQuoid on HBO’s “The White Lotus,” Jennifer Coolidge received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for the same performance. After coming up short in the 2022 Best TV Movie/Mini Actress race against Kate Winslet (“Mare of Easttown”), she now has a shot at being honored by her guild peers for reprising her character on “The White Lotus: Sicily.” Continuing in the role means she now must compete in the Best TV Drama Actress category; fortunately, she would not be the first to clinch a SAG trophy after making this exact move.
Coolidge will have been preceded in this specific type of SAG Award victory by Maggie Smith, who triumphed on her second Best TV Drama Actress bid for “Downton Abbey” in 2014 after first being singled out two years earlier when the show was classified as a miniseries.

Gold Derby has learned exclusively that, just like last year, “The White Lotus: Sicily” will submit all of its actors and actresses into the supporting races for awards shows. (See the cast category submissions below.) HBO initially enacted this strategy for the first season of its ratings hit, believing “The White Lotus” to be a true ensemble where there are no official “lead” performances that should get preference. That resulted in Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett both winning Emmys for Season 1 as Best Limited Series Supporting Actress and Best Limited Series Supporting Actor.
One caveat when making or updating your predictions at Gold Derby: “The White Lotus: Sicily” is considered a limited series at the upcoming Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, but it will compete as a drama series at the SAG Awards. Why? The Screen Actors Guild has strict rules about anthology series with returning characters, and since...

Mike White's HBO limited series "The White Lotus" was one of the best new shows of 2021, a sharply satirical look at the most privileged elite and the employees that serve them during a week's stay at an all-inclusive luxury resort. What is meant to be a week in paradise quickly reveals itself to be a powder keg of humanity's worst impulses, presented in a manner that is as darkly comedic as it is suspenseful. The end of season 1 featured a shocking, harrowing finale, capping off a debut season that would eventually lead to a whopping 10 Emmy Awards.
Following up on such an impressive launch seemed impossible, but as /Film's Barry Levitt described in his review, "The White Lotus" season 2 is "bigger, bolder, and stranger." The first season was an examination of class and race set in the fictional resort chain's Hawaiian locale, but season 2 looks to explore infidelity, sexual politics,...
