The White Lotus, which was renewed for a fourth season in 2025, is gearing up to film in 2026. The HBO series, created by Mike White, is slated to be set in France for the next season. Rumours on who will
be joining the show have already begun, and one of the first names to emerge is The Crown actress Helena Bonham Carter. Here's all we know so far about The White Lotus Season 4.
Helena Bonham Carter to join The White Lotus Season 4?
According to a report in
Deadline, Helena Bonham Carter is in early talks for a starring role. The report states that conversations are underway for the Oscar nominee to come on board the show. After the departure of Jennifer Coolidge's character in Season 2, Carter would be a welcome addition to the series. Last month, the head of HBO and HBO Max Content, Casey Bloys, confirmed that casting had started on the anthology series. For now, the network is keeping the plot of the fourth season under wraps, but the show is going to take place in France. Previous seasons took place in Hawaii, Italy, and Thailand. Before this, Bonham Carter played Princess Margaret on the third and fourth seasons of Netflix’s
The Crown. She received two Emmy nominations for her complex role as Queen Elizabeth II's younger sister. In January, she will be part of another Netflix series,
Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials.

The White Lotus Season 4 location
Production on
The White Lotus's fourth season is likely to begin in spring 2026. Unlike the previous three seasons, the show might move on to another hotel location. HBO does not have a marketing agreement with the Four Seasons for the next season, as the first three were exclusively Four Seasons hotels. Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat in the French Riviera and Hotel George V in Paris are rumoured to be in the running for the top locations for Season 4.
