The French Riviera is already packed with movie stars, flashing cameras and glamorous premieres — but this time, some of that chaos is apparently part of the script. HBO’s hit drama The White Lotus has officially kicked off filming for Season 4, and fans are spotting the cast right in the middle of the ongoing Cannes Film Festival.
Videos from the sets have started popping up all over social media during the second week of the festival, giving fans an early sneak peek into the new season. Reports suggest the latest chapter of the popular satirical series will unfold during the Cannes Film Festival itself, with filming taking place across Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Paris.
Actress Laura Dern was recently seen filming scenes on a beach in Saint-Tropez,
adding even more excitement around the project. As always, creator Mike White seems ready to dive into another messy, glamorous world filled with wealthy guests, complicated relationships and sharp social commentary.
According to reports, Season 4 will once again focus on the lives of the rich and famous, while also touching on celebrity culture and the madness surrounding fame.
Interestingly, executive producer David Bernad had earlier shared with the Los Angeles Times how the French Riviera became the chosen setting for the season. He revealed that the original idea was to travel through multiple European countries, beginning in France before moving on to Spain and Ireland.
But things changed after Mike White had what Bernad described as a special moment while dining at a restaurant in the South of France. According to Bernad, the director suddenly said, “I don’t want to see anymore,” before reportedly cancelling the rest of the scouting trip.
And just like previous seasons, the cast lineup is massive. The upcoming season will feature stars including Steve Coogan, Ben Kingsley, Kumail Nanjiani, Heather Graham and Vincent Cassel.
The ensemble also includes Caleb Jonte Edwards, Dylan Ennis, Corentin Fila, Ari Graynor, Marissa Long, Alexander Ludwig, Chris Messina, AJ Michalka and Nadia Tereszkiewicz.
As per Deadline, more names joining the cast include Chloe Bennet, Sandra Bernhard, Max Greenfield, Frida Gustavsson, Charlie Hall, Jarrad Paul, Rosie Perez, Ben Schnetzer and Laura Smet.
With filming now underway in one of the world’s biggest film festivals, Season 4 of The White Lotus already looks like it’s bringing drama both on and off screen.
