Hollywood actor Jennifer Coolidge will return to the second season of HBO's hit social satire series The White Lotus.

The series hails from writer, director and executive producer Mike White. The first season was set at an exclusive high-end resort, following the exploits of various guests and employees over the week.

Coolidge portrayed Tanya McQuoid, a drunk, tragic middle-aged woman who books a trip to the hotel to scatter her dead mother's ashes.

The second season will leave Hawaii and will follow a largely different group of vacationers as they jet to another White Lotus property and settle in temporarily amongst its inhabitants.

The White Lotus season 1 starred Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Alexandra Daddario, Fred Hechinger, Jake Lacy, Brittany O'Grady, Natasha Rothwell, Sydney Sweeney and Steve Zahn.
