The following article contains spoilers for "The White Lotus" season 1.

Few television series released this decade have left as much of an impact as HBO's semi-anthology series, "The White Lotus." Created by Mike White, what began as a miniseries exploring the problematic lives of wealthy vacationers and the working-class staff at the titular hotel chain in the Hawaiian location has since blossomed into a continuous series, showcasing a different group of characters (with some carry-over from previous seasons) amidst a different White Lotus location.

The first season of "The White Lotus" was filmed in late 2020 in Hawaii under Covid-19 guidelines. Much of the production was held at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea. The hotel was closed to film the season, giving the cast and crew their own bubble. Interestingly enough, Mike White had different plans for the location of what would become the first season of HBO's latest original hit series.
