Though little is known about the plot of the new season, sources told Variety that it might involve the Cannes Film Festival. Casting-wise, AJ Michalka and Alexander Ludwig will appear in the new season, and we can only hope for the return of a familiar face from a previous season, as with Jennifer Coolidge in season two and Natasha Rothwell in season three.
Mike White has announced one change for the upcoming season. “For the fourth season,” he said in a video released by Max on April 6, “I want to get a little bit out of the ‘crashing waves against rocks’ vernacular.” And you can expect some change sonically too: the composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer will not return due to creative differences with White.
One thing is for sure, though: Not everyone will make it out alive. “There’s always room for more murders in the White Lotus hotels,” White noted.
As of now, there is no official release date for season four, but it could be late 2026 or early 2027. In the meantime, scroll below to brush up on all of The White Lotus’s wanderlust-inducing filming locations from seasons past.
