What was it like filming in Sicily? That's what USA TODAY's Charles Trepany asked"The White Lotus" cast at the season 2 premiere in Los Angeles.Mike White, the comically devilish hand behind HBO'sWhen confronted with that title, White just laughs and cops to it: “My experience is, on vacation you escape one thing only to find a new set of anxieties and hard truths about yourself and those close to you.

The show opened with a mystery murder, then rewound to spotlight the troubled lives of both the hotel's staff and their well-heeled guests.

Abraham calls the script “a gift right from heaven; a couple of pages and you realize that.” Adds Imperioli; “It’s really a testament to Mike’s imagination and skills as a writer to come up with this world and design it this way.”

I was excited to write something for her, to make her more accessible.”
