The White Lotus Season 4 continues to take shape at HBO as Mike White gets underway on the latest chapter of his hit anthology series, and it seems more casting is under consideration.
While Season 4 of the series is still in its early stages, HBO has confirmed a few details, and others have been reported, including some casting and the country location for the newest entry. Below, we’re breaking down what we know about Season 4 of The White Lotus so far. Scroll down for a closer look and stay tuned for more information in the months ahead.
What do we know about The White Lotus Season 4?
In a late 2024 report by Deadline, Chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max content, Casey Bloys, revealed that The White Lotus creator Mike White already had plans for a fourth season storyline. Bloys noted that when visiting Season 3’s Thailand-based set, White pitched his concept for the fourth season. HBO had since renewed the series for Season 4. Further details about the plot remain under wraps at this time.

Where will The White Lotus Season 4 take place?
It was first reported by Deadline in September 2025 that Season 4 of The White Lotus would likely take place in France, with an exact location in the country yet to be determined. Since then, Season 3 star Parker Posey seemingly confirmed this rumor while appearing onE! News‘s Emmys red carpet coverage, where she said, “Mike is in the south of France now, so that’s where Season 4’s gonna be.” She also noted, “I have no idea if I’m in it.”
It has since been revealed by Variety that Season 4 is set to take place in France, with locations in Paris and the French Riviera. Bloys confirmed this much during HBO’s slate presentation in New York City on November 20, 2025. According to a report made by Variety in January 2026, filming will take place at the 19th-century palace Château de La Messardière in Saint-Tropez on the Côte d’Azur, which has been transformed into a luxury hotel. The resort reveal means it will be the first time the primary location won’t be set at a Four Seasons resort.
What does The White Lotus Season 4 renewal mean for the future of the show?
In past years, The White Lotus received renewals amid its ongoing seasons. In other words, fans didn’t have to wait until Season 1 concluded to know that it would be back for more. And shortly into Season 2’s run, HBO re-upped the show for Season 3. Meanwhile, HBO set a new precedent by renewing the series for Season 4 before Season 3 even debuted. This certainly bodes well for the show’s future. So stay tuned.
Who could star in The White Lotus Season 4?
The show is known for its star-studded ensembles, but in terms of potential returning cast members, it would be interesting to see if Season 4 would bring in O.G. cast members from Season 1, as Natasha Rothwell reprised her role as Belinda in Season 3, and Season 1 guest Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) featured more prominently in Season 2. Could Season 4 follow suit, or would the next chapter switch things up? Perhaps Greg (Jon Gries) will be a carryover as he’s appeared in all three seasons so far. It’s something to ponder as we await news.
In an update from Casey Bloys in November 2025, he told reporters at HBO’s slate presentation that, “Mike is writing, and he’s just starting casting. The casting process is very early, so I don’t have any names or anything like that, but he’s just starting.”
According to Deadline, Helena Bonham Carter is being considered for a role, but no confirmations have been made by HBO at this time. If Carter does sign on to the series, it would mark her first major TV role since Netflix‘s The Crown. It was also reported that Alexander Ludwig and AJ Michalka had been cast in the series, although their roles remain unknown at this time.
It has since been revealed that Chris Messina is being eyed for a role, but no official deals have been set for his participation, per Deadline.
On January 16, Deadline announced that Steve Coogan and Caleb Jonte Edwards landed roles in Season 4 as well, but character details were not disclosed.
