A darkly comic social satire in anthology format

The fourth season will follow a new cohort of guests and staff at the White Lotus for a week, right in the middle of Festival de Cannes. After Hawaii, Sicily and Thailand, the series shifts its social satire to a French setting where luxury hotels, the Riviera, cinema and power dynamics intersect.
This new announcement adds Ben Kingsley, Max Minghella and Pekka Strang to a cast already featuring Vincent Cassel, Steve Coogan, Laura Dern, Kumail Nanjiani, Chris Messina, Ari Graynor, Alexander Ludwig, AJ Michalka, Corentin Fila and Nadia Tereszkiewicz. Chloe Bennet, Sandra Bernhard, Heather Graham, Max Greenfield, Rosie Perez, Ben Schnetzer and Laura Smet are also among the names announced.
The French shoot stands out as one of the clearest markers of this season 4. Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Monaco and Paris are named as settings tied to the storyline, anchored in the world of luxury hotels and the festival circuit. In Paris, the Lutetia also features among the shooting locations for season 4 of The White Lotus, underscoring the capital’s pivotal role in this new chapter.
Laura Dern's arrival also extends her collaboration with Mike White, already underway on Enlightened and Year of the Dog. The series keeps its anthology premise: a new destination, new characters, and a look at social tensions set against a luxury resort backdrop.
Created, written and directed by Mike White, this fourth season is produced by Mike White, David Bernad and Mark Kamine. No precise French release date has yet been announced for HBO Max.
