Exciting News for Fans of “The White Lotus”: Season 4 Set to Film in France
After much speculation, it has been revealed that the highly anticipated Season 4 of “The White Lotus” will be filming in France. While HBO has yet to officially confirm this news, Variety has learned that the hit Mike White anthology will be exploring the stunning locations of Paris and the French Riviera in the upcoming season.
Following the format of previous seasons, Season 4 is expected to predominantly take place in the South of France, with a subplot set in the vibrant city of Paris. While no specific hotels have been secured for filming yet, the production team has been actively scouting luxurious locations for the new season, which is slated to begin shooting next year.
Unlike its predecessors that were set at Four Seasons properties in various exotic locales, Season 4 will be breaking away from this pattern as HBO has decided not to renew its marketing partnership with the hotel chain. This change is sure to bring a fresh perspective to the series and introduce viewers to new stunning accommodations.
Among the luxurious hotels being considered for filming in Paris are the iconic Le Lutetia and the legendary Ritz Paris. Le Lutetia, nestled in the chic neighborhood of Saint-Germain des Pres, has hosted notable figures like Charlie Chaplin and Pablo Picasso. On the other hand, the Ritz Paris, a favorite haunt of Coco Chanel and F. Scott Fitzgerald, exudes old-world glamour and elegance.
Mike White, the mastermind behind “The White Lotus,” hinted at a shift in the show’s setting in a cryptic message following the Season 3 finale. While maintaining his signature blend of mystery and intrigue, White teased that Season 4 will venture away from the crashing waves and rocky cliffs seen in previous seasons. Could this mean more drama unfolding on the rocky beaches of the French Riviera in locations like Monaco and Nice?
As with previous seasons, Season 4 is expected to feature a mix of American and French talent, showcasing the interactions between wealthy vacationers and local characters. While the cast may change from season to season, fans can hope to see familiar faces like Tanya, Greg, and Belinda, along with the possibility of Charlotte LeBon reprising her role as Chloé.
