HBO’s hit series The White Lotus is officially getting a fourth season, and this time the setting appears to be France.
According to Deadline, the next installment of the anthology is reportedly bound for the luxe Grand‑Hôtel du Cap‑Ferrat on the French Riviera, continuing the show’s tradition of filming at Four Seasons resorts.
New Shores, Same Dark Flair
All three prior seasons—set in Hawaii, Italy, and Thailand—have leaned heavily into lavish coastal backdrops. But for season 4, creator Mike White told Deadline that he’s looking to “get a little bit out of the crashing‑waves‑of‑rocks vernacular,” even as “there’s always more room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels.” He’s clearly aiming for a fresh twist on familiar tropes. Meanwhile, no filming location has been officially confirmed—but the Grand‑Hôtel du Cap‑Ferrat remains a top candidate.
Why the French Riviera Makes Sense
The French Riviera resort fits seamlessly with the series’ visual identity: picturesque, opulent, and quietly foreboding. It’s no surprise—Deadline notes that the producers have long favored Four Seasons properties as their go‑to “White Lotus” locales, making France a natural next stop.
What We Don’t Know (Yet)
- Official confirmation: Neither HBO nor the production team has publicly confirmed France—or any specific hotel—as the season‑4 filming location.
- Cast details: No information has been released regarding returning actors or new arrivals for season 4.
- Release timing: There’s no announced premiere date, production timeline, or expected window for release.
Why It Matters
The franchise’s signature approach—melding satirical commentary with stunning settings and simmering tension—is enhanced by its location. France offers both the elegance and darkness that encapsulate the franchise’s DNA. A shift in scenery could lead to new tonal dimensions and richer storytelling.
Conclusion
The White Lotus season 4 is on the move, tentatively heading to France—possibly the glamorous Grand‑Hôtel du Cap‑Ferrat. While nothing is set in stone, fans can expect the familiar blend of murder‑mystery and opulent backdrop, but with a fresh European twist. Stay tuned.
