The cast of The White Lotus Season 4 just checked in. Mike White\u2019s vacation-set series is now officially filming in France, HBO announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The White Lotus takes its name from the fictional luxury hotel chain, which, in the universe of the show, has outposts across the globe. Unfortunately for the vacationers staying at these ritzy hotels (which, prior to Season 4, were actually Four Seasons properties<\/a>), each season concluded with at least one person dead \u2014 a moment teased in the opening episode before flashing back one week earlier.<\/p>\n The first season of the show followed guests at a luxury resort in Hawaii\u00a0\u2014 where a hotel employee was accidentally killed by a guest \u2014\u00a0before moving to Sicily for its sophomore season, which saw the death of a fan favorite. The most recent season, set in Thailand, ended with the show\u2019s biggest bloodbath yet.<\/p>\n Now, Season 4\u2019s star-studded cast includes Helena Bonham Carter, Heather Graham and Rosie Perez<\/a> \u2014 and once again, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess as to who will end up dead. And it\u2019s also possible that the show will switch things up for its fourth round \u2014 though it\u2019s hard to imagine The White Lotus without a dead body.<\/p>\n Where \u2018The White Lotus\u2019 is filming Season 4<\/p>\n Already dusting off your passport to live like the vacationers on The White Lotus? This season, the guests are heading to the C\u00f4te d’Azur, aka the French Riviera: specifically, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Monaco. While Paris won\u2019t be a part of the story line, filming will also take place in the city, HBO confirmed in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n Looking to book the exact hotels as the characters? HBO said that the Airelles Ch\u00e2teau de la Messardi\u00e8re will be a stand-in for the White Lotus du Cap, while the H\u00f4tel Martinez will be the White Lotus Cannes.<\/p>\n What we know about the story line<\/p>\n Right now, the answer is \u2026 not much! But according to HBO, the Cannes Film Festival<\/a> \u2014\u00a0the most prestigious film event of the year \u2014\u00a0will be central to the plot. Since the festival is invitation-only, it\u2019s possible that hotel guests will be in the film business or covering the festival as press.<\/p>\n In a behind-the-scenes interview with White following the eighth episode of Season 3, the creator teased<\/a>, \u201cFor the fourth season I want to get a little bit out of the ‘crashing waves of rocks’ vernacular, but there\u2019s always more room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels.\u201d<\/p>\n Who will appear on Season 4?\u00a0<\/p>\n The White Lotus cast is always stacked, and this season is no exception. Here\u2019s who is arriving at the French Riviera.<\/p>\n Will any former cast members return?\u00a0<\/p>\n Thus far, only three cast members have appeared in more than one season of the show, and all of them were connected to the story line surrounding Jennifer Coolidge\u2019s wealthy socialite, Tanya. The character appeared in Season 1 and Season 2 before dying at the end of the latter.<\/p>\n Natasha Rothwell first appeared as spa manager Belinda in Season 1, then returned in Season 3, set in Thailand. There, she crossed paths with Tanya\u2019s very shady husband, Greg \u2014 played by Jon Gries \u2014 who has appeared in all three seasons. Belinda\u2019s story line ended with her choosing not to pursue justice for Tanya \u2014 who died after Greg put a hit on her \u2014 and instead accepted $5 million from Greg in exchange for her silence on the matter.<\/p>\n So far, there\u2019s no confirmation that anyone will return, though in April 2025, Rothwell joked to the Hollywood Reporter<\/a> ahead of the Season 3 finale that Gries was like a \u201cbarnacle\u201d who would return every season. Gries added, \u201cYes, I would love to come back. But does the book on Greg seem like it\u2019s complete? I can\u2019t tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n Rothwell also said in the same interview that she could see herself returning, despite already getting her happy ending. \u201cI feel like Belinda is everyone and everyone is Belinda,\u201d she said, \u201cand so maybe, selfishly, [viewers] want to be a part of it, through me.\u201d<\/p>\n
