'The White Lotus' Season 4 centered around the Cannes Film Festival begins production
Pack your bags, The White Lotus is taking Cannes.
HBO has officially confirmed that Season 4 of Mike White's hit comedy-drama has begun filming in France—specifically against the glamorous backdrop of Cannes.
“The fourth season will follow a new group of White Lotus hotel guests and employees over the span of a week, taking place during the Cannes Film Festival,” the synopsis read.
According to Variety's source, the show's production team will be at the festival this May.
They also claimed that the cast will be there for a few days during the second half of the festival, and may walk on the red carpet.
The cast includes Helena Bonham Carter, Vincent Cassel, Steve Coogan, Caleb Jonte Edwards, Dylan Ennis, Corentin Fila, Ari Graynor, Marissa Long, Alexander Ludwig, Chris Messina, AJ Michalka, Kumail Nanjiani and Nadia Tereszkiewicz.
Chloe Bennet, Sandra Bernhard, Heather Graham, Max Greenfield, Frida Gustavsson, Charlie Hall, Jarrad Paul, Rosie Perez, Ben Schnetzer and Laura Smet will also appear on the series.
The new season, unlike the previous ones where they filmed at Four Seasons properties, will be shooting at the Airelles Château de la Messardière in Saint-Tropez, which will be reimagined as the "White Lotus du Cap," and the iconic Hôtel Martinez, serving as the "White Lotus Cannes."
The last season was set in the Four Seasons Resort in Thailand. It was starred by Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood, Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, Jason Isaacs, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and more.
The latest installment of the series earned 23 Emmy nominations, eight of which were for acting. The whole series has received 66 Emmy nominations and won 16 awards.
