In the second season of HBO's "The White Lotus," Aubrey Plaza plays Harper Spiller, a lawyer with a penchant for sarcasm who is vacationing in Italy with her husband and his friends. She'd rather read Valeria Luiselli's "Lost Children Archive" than talk about "Ted Lasso." And she'd rather not associate with people who don't follow the news.
Plaza is paired with Will Sharpe, who plays her husband, Ethan — newly wealthy after selling his tech company — as well as Theo James, as Ethan's old college friend Cameron, and Meghann Fahy as his cheerful wife Daphne, who kicks off the season's mystery when she discovers a limp body floating at sea.
Plaza brings an all-too-relatable cynicism to the judgmental, pragmatic Harper, which will come as no surprise to those familiar with the cutting deadpan that defined Plaza's breakout role as intern-turned-assistant April Ludgate in "Parks and Recreation."
