The White Lotus has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series. The limited series was up against Dopesick, The Dropout, Inventing Anna, and Pam & Tommy. The series was created, written, and directed by Mike White who also won this evening for directing the series. The White Lotus was a fan-favorite this evening, with Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett winning for their supporting roles.

The White Lotus will return for a second season, with Coolidge reprising her role as Tanya McQuoid-Hunt. Additional cast will include Aubrey Plaza Will Sharpe, F.
