Mike White’s sun-soaked satire The White Lotus is gearing up for its return—in a new location, at a new hotel and with a fresh cast, of course. Here’s absolutely everything we know so far about The White Lotus’s upcoming fourth season.
Where will The White Lotus Season 4 be set?
This, perhaps more than anything else, was the biggest question. After Maui, Sicily, and Koh Samui, would the fourth season take us to yet another ridiculously luxurious Four Seasons resort? And would we be transported to a new continent once again?
On September 4, 2025, Deadline reported that the production had settled on France as next season’s location, which has three lavish Four Seasons properties: the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera; the gilded, Eiffel Tower-overlooking Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris; and the cozy, snow-covered Four Seasons Hotel Megève.
However, the first property to be confirmed as a location, via Variety, is a different hotel entirely: the Château de La Messardière in Saint-Tropez, a 19th-century palace-turned-luxury hotel set within 32 acres of parasol pines, cypress trees, and jasmine, and offering five restaurants, a spa, and beach access by Rolls-Royce transfer.
As in previous seasons, other locations and properties will be featured, too, with some scenes set to be filmed at a Paris hotel—though the new installment will mainly unfold along the French Riviera.
Who will be in the cast of The White Lotus Season 4?
On January 29, Deadline reported that Helena Bonham Carter would be taking a starring role. There was hope that she would fill the Jennifer Coolidge-slash-Parker Posey-shaped hole in our hearts. On April 24, it was announced that Carter would no longer be part of the cast. The news arrives just a week into production on the fourth season. Recasting is pretty rare, but it’s being reported by Deadline that, as Bonham Carter shot her first scenes, White made the decision to rework and recast her role.
