Spoiler alert! This story contains spoilers for the second season premiere of the white lotusthen consider yourself warned.
the white lotus Last year he stunned HBO viewers with his satirical and clever take on privilege, unraveling the mystery of who among the station’s guests (or staff) would die at the end of a week’s vacation. now him Emmy Award-winning anthology series returns for the second season, with a different White Lotus resort, new guests, and possibly several deaths before making it to the finale. With the premiere, “Hello”, viewers learned the new set of black comedy and even though the story is just beginning, creator Mike White says the elaborate opening title sequence provides hints what will come in the white lotus Season 2 .
Mike White worked with Katrina Crawford and Mark Bashore of Plains of Yonder, a film studio and creative consulting firm, on the credits sequence. they spoke TV insider on the clues fans can find, with Crawford noting that animals are a huge hotline. Bashore added:
There is nothing there by mistake. So whether it’s a lamb sitting alone in a field, a bird fight, a boar hunt, or a monkey hunt, animals do a lot of work talking about people in a way that even a dog raising his paw says more than it does. with a photo of a person.
Let’s take a look at some of the opening title footage and see what clues we can find:
The dog raising its paw, as mentioned in the quote above, is shown when Theo James’s name appears on the screen. During the premiere, we learned that his character, Cameron Babcock, may have additional reasons to invite Harper and Ethan to take a vacation with him and his wife. Will we see Cameron mark his territory in any way this season? You have already (without knowing it?) Exhibited Harper by Aubrey Plaza in “Hello”.
Speaking of Aubrey Plaza, her name appears next to an image of a bird pecking at another bird’s wings. Could this be a statement about Harper’s relationship with her husband? Or about Harper’s perspective on the world in general?
Meghann Fahy’s Daphne is the only character who could survive Sicily Week, as she discovers the body floating in the water. Could Fahy’s name next to those cherubs signal her innocence, or is there more to it?
Beloved film and television actress Jennifer Coolidge is the only Season 1 character to reprise her role when the great Tanya McQuoid arrives at White Lotus. Where she had previously been seen mourning her mother’s death, we now see that she is married to Greg Hunt (Jon Gries), who looks like real shit about her. She constantly comments on her weight as she receives secret phone calls in the bathroom. I feel like the donkey breaking the fourth wall next to Gries’s name is trying to tell us something, especially with the man and woman riding it mirroring the image (top) of Tanya holding Greg as they drive the their Vespa.
We were also introduced to the Di Grosso family, with Bert of F. Murray Abraham traveling with his son and grandson. It was well known in the first episode that Bert likes to flirt, which is pictured next to the actor’s name in the title sequence, but who’s around the corner spying on them?
Other opening title images show part of a building engulfed in flames, a man falling backwards down the stairs after being stabbed by a woman, and lots of sex, including what appears to be a man being sucked in and two rams doing. their things. Katrina Crawford said the significance of the elements in the opening credits will make more sense as the season progresses, but it sure looks like we’re ready for another wild “week” of seaside drama. . new episodes of the white lotus airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and are available to stream with a HBO subscription Max .
