Everything we know About The White Lotus Season 4: Filming Locations, Plot Predictions, and more
Published
The White Lotus season 3 is now over, and the ending has shocked everyone! But fans are hungry for more. They want to know when The White Lotus season 4 will be here. While information about the upcoming season is sparse, we do know that it is happening!
The hit show was renewed for season 4 back in January, and since then, there have been whispers about where the show will go next. Some rumors say Scandinavia is in order, while others think that viewers might be taken on an Eastern European tour.
However, the main question is- When will The White Lotus season 4 be released? We will explore that as well as discuss multiple more questions. Also, stay tuned as we will keep updating this space with new details as and when they get released.
Release date and Where to Watch
The release date for The White Lotus season 4 hasn’t been revealed yet. Production is expected to begin in early 2026 (via Forbes). All the seasons of The White Lotus are streaming on Max, and the next season will likely premiere on it.
Season 1 was released in 2021 summer while season 2 premiered in 2022 fall. Next, season 3 got released in early 2025. So, it looks like we could see season 4 in fall 2026 or 2027.
What is the plot of The White Lotus Season 4?
Most viewers will probably assume that season 4 of The White Lotus will also center around a dead body. However, that might not be the case. Mike White, the creator of the show, said in an interview with THR in May 2023, “I don’t think it needs to always be a body.”
He explained further and said, “There are so many ways that we want to reinvent the show each year. Like, what is this show — other than people? A fresh mystery, people maybe expect that. But I don’t feel constrained by expectation. It’s fun.”
Who will be in The White Lotus Season 4?
At the time of writing, the cast hasn’t been revealed yet, and we suspect that it won’t be for quite some time. While we could get a brand-new cast with some returnees, Patrick Schwarzenegger, who played Saxon in season 3, revealed in a THR story that there are “rumors of them doing an all-star season.”
He further said, “They could get all the douche guys in one hotel together. Mike said that one day when we were on set, he was like, ‘Oh my God, it’d be so good to get you, Jake Lacy, and Theo James in the same room.”
Mike White, who was also present for the interview said, “I’d love to do that.” Casey Bloys, the CEO of HBO, chimed in saying, "Maybe Molly Shannon’s character and Victoria Ratliff know each other? There are so many connections between all these awful people."
However, it doesn’t look like this is an immediate plan, and it comes off as something the makers would like to explore after a few more seasons. But it wouldn’t be surprising if this happens. After all, Jennifer Coolidge's Tanya was in seasons 1 and 2, while Natasha Rothwell's Belinda was in seasons 1 and 3. Jon Gries's Greg was in all of them.
Is There any Trailer for The White Lotus Season 4?
There is no trailer yet, and we suspect that it won’t be released for quite sometime.
Where will The White Lotus Season 4 be Filmed?
At the time of writing, the filming location for The White Lotus season 4 hasn’t been revealed yet. Previously, there were rumors about Norway being a possible destination. But on The Bill Simmons Podcast, producer David Bernad said:
“[Creator] Mike [White] does not like the cold, that is why we will never do it. I feel confident we will never do a season in the cold... Mike is not for it. He is a California guy. He is not built for the cold. Never say never, but I would be surprised.”
Mike White told Deadline about season 4's possible location, “For the fourth season, I want to get a little bit out of the crashing waves of rocks vernacular but there’s always more room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels."
However, we do know that the show will be filmed at one of the Four Seasons resorts because in October 2024, Max and Four Seasons announced a global partnership. Marc Speichert, the Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Four Seasons, said in a statement:
“Mike White and his team have created something truly special. For many Four Seasons guests, especially our pop culture enthusiasts and travel trendsetters, The White Lotus serves as the perfect travel inspiration.”
Season one was filmed at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, Hawaii; while season two was filmed at San Domenico Palace, Taormina, a Four Seasons Hotel in Italy. Season 3 was filmed at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui in Thailand.
In February, HBO’s EVP Francesca Orsi revealed that they had begun scouting locations. She said (via Deadline), “I can’t really say where we’re going to land, but chances are somewhere in Europe.”
Here are the Four Seasons locations (excluding the locations where the show has alread filmed), in alphabetical order:
- Athens, Greece
- Baku, Azerbaijan
- Budapest, Hungary
- French Riviera
- Geneva, Switzerland
- Hampshire, England
- Istanbul, Turkey
- Lisbon, Portugal
- London, England
- Madrid, Spain
- Mallorca, Spain
- Megève, France
- Paris, France
- Prague, Czech Republic
Since the show has avoided crowded major cities till now (as they aren’t conducive for long filming schedules), Athens, Greece; Hampshire, England; Mallorca, Spain; and more could be possible destinations.
