Season 4 follows a fresh crew of guests and staff at a White Lotus hotel over the course of a week, set against the Cannes Film Festival. True to the anthology premise, this new chapter refreshes its cast while continuing to dissect social hierarchies, privilege, and the strains that run through a luxury retreat.
The production is centered on the Côte d’Azur, with sequences planned for Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Monaco, and a segment in Paris. Among the venues lined up for this season are the Airelles Château de la Messardière in Saint-Tropez and the Hôtel Martinez in Cannes.
The confirmed cast includes Laura Dern, Vincent Cassel, Steve Coogan, Caleb Jonte Edwards, Dylan Ennis, Corentin Fila, Ari Graynor, Marissa Long, Alexander Ludwig, Chris Messina, AJ Michalka, Kumail Nanjiani and Nadia Tereszkiewicz. Chloe Bennet, Sandra Bernhard, Heather Graham, Max Greenfield, Frida Gustavsson, Charlie Hall, Jarrad Paul, Rosie Perez, Ben Schnetzer and Laura Smet are also slated to appear in the season.
Laura Dern’s arrival signals fresh collaborations with Mike White, with whom she had already teamed up on Year of the Dog and Enlightened. The Oscar-winning actress for Marriage Story also has a significant history with HBO, notably through Big Little Lies, Recount, and Enlightened.
Created, written and directed by Mike White, season 4 of The White Lotus is produced by Mike White, David Bernad and Mark Kamine. No specific French release date has yet been confirmed by HBO Max.
