The Evolution of The White Lotus Series
“The White Lotus,” an HBO original series, has rapidly evolved from a six-part limited series in 2021 into a widely acclaimed anthology.

They questioned HBO’s choice to work with someone allegedly supporting contentious political stances, creating a stir in international circles. The tweet read, “@HBO, is it all right for you to work with a person who supports genocide & violates international law?”
