Update on HBO’s The White Lotus: Season 4 Confirmed
HBO’s hit series The White Lotus has become a fan favorite since it debuted in 2021, known for its striking backdrops and intriguing plots, often involving a mysterious death. The show’s creator, Mike White, has captivated audiences with stories about wealthy guests unwinding at stunning resorts around the globe.
So far, the series has been filmed at actual Four Seasons resorts, with the first season set in Hawaii, the second in Sicily, Italy, and the latest in Thailand. This recent season showcased a roster of glamorous stars, including Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, and Carrie Coon, who explored themes of identity and spirituality while navigating the twists of life and death.
With the season 3 finale having aired on April 6, many fans are curious about the future of the show. Thankfully, it was confirmed in January 2025 that The White Lotus has indeed been renewed for a fourth season. This announcement came even before the successful ratings from the latest season started rolling in.
While it has been confirmed that a fourth season is on the way, production hasn’t yet begun. The plan is to start filming sometime in 2026. As for the location of the next season, although it has not been officially revealed, there are strong hints that it could be set in Europe. Francesca Orsi, HBO’s head of drama, mentioned ongoing location scouting, suggesting that the next setting could follow in the footsteps of the previous seasons’ glamorous locales.
Fans have speculated about a potential change of scenery, with some dreaming of a cooler climate or even an adventure in Australia. Mike White himself has expressed interest in bringing the show to Australia, emphasizing the region’s beauty and cultural richness.
As of now, details regarding the premiere date for season 4 remain unclear. Given the extended gap between seasons 2 and 3, which resulted from strikes affecting the industry, it might be a while before fans can escape to the lavish and mysterious settings of The White Lotus once again.
For those eager to catch up or rewatch the first three seasons, they’re available on HBO and can also be streamed on Max. With excitement in the air for the upcoming season, fans are left packing their bags in anticipation of another adventure at the luxurious resort.
