Although the fates of the characters of The White Lotus are always up in the air, the same cannot be said for the show itself. Earlier this year, the hit HBO show was renewed for a fourth season before the third had even hit our screens, meaning we have at least one more deadly White Lotus stay ahead of us.
While we don’t know much about the next series of The White Lotus yet, it's a safe bet to say it will likely feature another wealthy family, frazzled hotel manager, and perhaps— like series three— more than one dead body.
When does The White Lotus series four air?
Since production hasn’t even begun on the fourth series of The White Lotus, we may be waiting quite a while before we can watch it. Variety previously reported 2026 as a potential air date, but that’s likely the earliest we’ll see anything.
Where will The White Lotus series four be filmed?
Although nothing is confirmed, creator Mike White has already hinted at the setting for the show's highly anticipated fourth season.
The first series of the show was filmed in Hawaii, the second in Italy and the third in Thailand. All three of the seasons were filmed in Four seasons hotels near the coast, but Mike White alluded to moving the show a little further inland for the next instalment.
He said, 'For the fourth season, I want to get a little bit out of the ‘crashing waves against rocks’ vernacular. But there’s always room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels.'
In February, Francesca Orsi, HBO’s head of drama, told Deadline, 'We’re going on some locations scouting in the next couple of weeks, so we’ll know soon. I can’t really say where we’re going to land, but chances are somewhere in Europe.'
Aimee Lou Wood, who starred as Chelsea in series three, has her own idea for where the next series should be set.
She recently told heat, ‘I really want to see them do one in a cold place, like a ski season. I feel like it’s exactly the right kind of clientele for the show, and it’d be so cool to have a snowy vibe. Part of what makes The White Lotus great is everyone being a bit flustered and sweaty, so I’d love to see how that would change – and to see everyone in their great ski outfits.’
Who stars in The White Lotus series four?
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves! So far, we don’t have any confirmed cast members of The White Lotus series four.
Who is coming back for series four of The White Lotus?
So far we have very little info about the fourth series of The White Lotus, but creator Mike White does tend to bring back at least one familiar face per season.
Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya returned in series two along with her devious husband, Greg, played by Jon Gries. Greg made yet another appearance in series three— this time going by Gary— with Natasha Rothwell’s Belinda also coming back to claim her happy ending.
It’s anyone’s bet who will feature in season four, but many fans are hoping Greg could finally find his comeuppance, so our money is on Jon Gries visiting a White Lotus hotel for a fourth time.
