Get ready for a glamorous getaway! The highly acclaimed series, 'The White Lotus', is gearing up for its fourth season, and this time it's taking us to the heart of France. But here's the twist: Variety has the inside scoop, revealing that the show will be shooting in Paris and the French Riviera, even though HBO has yet to confirm this officially.
The upcoming season promises to be just as captivating as its predecessors, with a unique setting and intriguing storyline. While the previous three seasons were set at luxurious Four Seasons hotels in tropical destinations like Hawaii, Sicily, and Thailand, season 4 will break away from this pattern. This change is due to HBO's decision not to renew its partnership with the Four Seasons chain.
Instead, the production has been scouting opulent locations in two of France's most iconic regions. Imagine the drama unfolding in the vibrant city of Paris and the breathtaking French Riviera! And this is where the show's creator, Mike White, adds a touch of mystery. In a post-finale interview, he hinted at a shift in scenery, saying, 'I want to get a little bit out of the crashing waves of rocks vernacular...'. But don't worry, he assured fans that there will be 'more room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels'.
The potential locations for the show's drama are already sparking excitement. In Paris, the production has considered the legendary Le Lutetia, a five-star hotel with a rich history. This hotel was once a favorite among iconic figures like Charlie Chaplin and Pablo Picasso. Another contender is the Ritz Paris, a timeless establishment that has hosted the likes of Coco Chanel and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
But the intrigue doesn't stop there. Just like previous seasons, season 4 will likely feature a mix of American and local talent. While the cast usually changes, we might see some familiar faces returning, such as Tanya, Greg, and Belinda. And who knows, maybe the charming French-Canadian actress Charlotte LeBon will make a comeback as Chloé, adding a delightful twist to the story.
And this is the part most fans are eager to see: how will the show's signature blend of dark humor and social commentary adapt to the new French setting? Will it explore the complexities of wealth and privilege in a different cultural context? The anticipation is building, and fans are already buzzing with theories and expectations. So, are you ready for a White Lotus adventure in France? The countdown to season 4 has begun!
