HBO’sThe White Lotusis all set to return in February 2025. The popular show known for masterfully blending comedy and thriller genres has won the hearts of many fans. As such, the news of its return has brought pleasure to many. Another thing it has brought, though, is speculations about what the new season would delve into.
Especially with the show moving locations to Thailand for the upcoming season. Nonetheless, as much as it increases fans’ anticipation, it also makes them wonder if the new season would be able to match the brilliance of previous seasons.
While the second season is largely hailed as one of the best TV content to be ever produced, there was one specific story sequence in the first season that triumphed over others. According to many fans, surpassing that might be tough for the upcoming season ofThe White Lotus.
One storyline fromThe White LotusSeason 1 triumphed over others
The popular comedy-drama revolves around the lives of guests, staff, as well as locals who spend their lives aroundThe White Lotusresort chains. The first season of the show started with the arrival of the Mossbacher family in Hawaii for a vacation at the resort.
Consisting of parents Mark (Steve Zahn) and Nicole Mossbacher (Connie Britton), and siblings Olivia (Sydney Sweeney), and Quinn Mossbacher, the tumultuous dynamics in the family are evident from the get-go. Things only turn stranger for them when the family patriarch gets a health scare which shakes even his awkward teenage boy Quinn Mossbacher, played by Fred Hechinger.
While Quinn appears as this socially awkward teen with screen and p*rn addiction, he longs for a life free of the boundaries his family has put him into. One thing leads to another, and one day the teenager finds himself waking up on the beach absolutely in awe of the natural beauty surrounding him.

This causes a huge change in his personality, with him volunteering to participate in activities like paddling with locals. He slowly falls in love with the place and culture, and when the time comes to leave the place behind, he demands to stay back.
While his parents don’t agree initially, when they board the plane to return, they find that Quinn truly has run back to the island to stay there. Amid many twists and turns in the first season ofMike White’sThe White Lotus, this seemingly simple story of a teenager finding his true self and connecting with nature has resonated with many.

In today’s fast living when everyday our connection to nature dwindles, and even toddlers fall victim to screen addiction, Quinn’s storyline became a beacon of hope for many that it is never too late to go out and embrace your real self.

As stated above, while the show itself is hugely popular, Quinn’s storyline from Season 1 has its own separate fan base. Moreover, it continues to attract fans all over the world even now.
As such, although the second season ofThe White Lotusis largely considered groundbreaking, many think the genius of the first season is hard to match.
Fans are waiting for the show to make its grand return in February and so the hype around it is off the charts.
