White Lotus heads to France for Season 4

The highly anticipated fourth season of HBO's "The White Lotus" is set to unfold in France, with AJ Michalka and Alexander Ludwig officially confirmed as its first new cast members. These additions mark the initial wave of talent to be announced for the upcoming installment, which will follow a fresh cast of hotel guests and employees.

While HBO has yet to confirm other rumored castings, Michalka and Ludwig are set to embark on a week-long narrative in a luxurious French setting. The series creator, Mike White, is reportedly already developing the storyline, with filming preparations underway in Paris and the French Riviera since late October. The new season is scheduled to begin production in 2026.

Mike White continues his role as creator, writer, and director for the series, executive producing alongside David Bernad and Mark Kamine. Previous seasons have featured notable casts and exotic locations, and Season 4 promises to maintain this successful formula, bringing its signature blend of social commentary and character drama to a new international backdrop.
