- A waiter encounter indirectly facilitated 'The White Lotus' filming in France.
- Season 4 of 'The White Lotus' is currently filming in St. Tropez.
Canneseries Artistic Director Albin Lewi shared insights into how the festival facilitated the production of the upcoming season of 'The White Lotus' in France. Lewi first met show creator Mike White in 2021 during a scouting trip, establishing a connection that would later prove instrumental.
Through a series of introductions orchestrated by the festival, the 'White Lotus' production team was provided with a tailored setup in Cannes, enabling them to move forward with filming. This upcoming season is currently underway in St. Tropez and is anticipated to span seven months, with additional shooting planned in Paris.
The festival itself has been strengthening its identity as a standalone event, drawing international talent and focusing on curated industry programs that foster meaningful networking. This approach has helped build trust and a strong reputation, particularly in the U.S., encouraging creators to consider international locations for their projects.
