Will The White Lotus Get a Fourth Season? What We Already Know, Including Potential Locations

From what creator Mike White has said about where he wants the luxurious show to be set next to when it may premiere, here’s everything we know so far about season 4 of ‘The White Lotus

In addition to many peaceful and lovely surroundings, the White Lotus has always promised at least one enigmatic murder.

Mike White is the creator, writer, and director of the anthology series, which has captivated audiences since its debut in 2021. Every season follows a different group of affluent tourists as they unwind at one of the world’s upscale White Lotus resorts.

The first episode of the series is set in Hawaii, and the second is set in Sicily, Italy. To date, the series has been recorded at three actual Four Seasons resorts. Viewers were taken to Thailand in the most recent season, where the newest group of glitzy visitors—who included Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Carrie Coon, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Walton Goggins, and many others—experienced death, spirituality, and enlightenment.

Thailand suited the ideas I was attempting to explore, and I have experimented with Buddhism. The show is about want and identity, but there’s also the naughty gay side of me that asks, “How do I make something that’s funny and dirty?” Prior to the season 3 finale, White told The Hollywood Reporter.

Fans eagerly awaited answers to yet another mystery following the conclusion of the most recent edition on April 6: any news regarding the upcoming season of HBO’s Emmy-winning satirical series.

White hinted in the most recent Unpacking the Episode on MAX, saying, “I want to move away from the ‘crashing waves on rocks’ lingo for the fourth season. But additional killings at the White Lotus hotels are always possible.

Has a fourth season of The White Lotus been confirmed, and when can viewers anticipate going back to the opulent yet perilous resort? Here is all the information we currently have regarding season 4 of The White Lotus.

Has The White Lotus been renewed for season 4?

True! The White Lotus has already received a season 4 renewal, so get your bag out and your beach attire set. The story was verified by Variety in January 2025, over a month before the eagerly awaited February 16 launch of season 3.

According to Variety, Casey Bloys, the chairman and CEO of HBO and Max, told reporters months prior in November 2024 that “Mike, obviously — if he wants to move forward and do the four seasons — he will do the fourth season.”

Even before the remarkable ratings for season three began to come in, the renewal was announced. The penultimate episode of the most recent season of HBO’s Sunday night tentpole, episode 7, reached a series high of 4.8 million viewers, according to Variety.

However, the upcoming season may sound a little different because Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, the series’ composer, told The New York Times in April 2025 that he would not be returning to The White Lotus for another stint.

Where will The White Lotus Season 4 be set?

Which countries will The White Lotus visit next—Hawaii, Italy, Thailand? Season 4’s setting has not yet been revealed, but there have been indications, and it’s very likely that the show will take fans on another trip to Europe.

In February 2025, Francesca Orsi, HBO’s head of drama, told Deadline, “We’ll know soon because we’re going on some locations scouting in the next couple of weeks.” “The likelihood is that we will land somewhere in Europe, but I can’t really say where.”

We discussed “a few countries on the map, but nothing to report on until they actually go locations scouting,” Orsi continued.

Given that the prior three seasons were all situated in sunny locations, fans have conjectured that the upcoming season would experiment by visiting a White Lotus resort in a cooler environment.

David Bernad, White’s longstanding producing partner, stated to The Guardian in February 2025 that “Mike doesn’t like the cold,” raising doubts about this idea.

Since a Four Seasons resort has served as the backdrop for all three seasons of The White Lotus, looking through the hotel franchise’s list of potential locations may also help focus the search.

You may also go down under. In 2023, White stated his intention to set a future season of The White Lotus in Australia at a speech at Sydney’s Vivid Festival.

Yes, this is essentially its own continent. My goal is to perform on every continent. At a press conference, White stated, “If we continue, we kind of have to come to Australia.” “That would be a lot of fun. It feels like it meets all the requirements because there is unquestionably a great deal of talent and beauty here.

Has filming started for The White Lotus season 4?

Despite receiving a renewal for a second season, filming has not yet begun on The White Lotus. Production was “eyed for 2026,” according to Variety, when the season 4 renewal was revealed.

When will The White Lotus season 4 premiere?

The premiere date of The White Lotus’ upcoming season has not yet been announced.

The actors’ and writers’ strikes caused a lengthy break between seasons two and three in the past. Season 2 concluded on December 11, 2022, and the next season debuted on February 16, 2025, over two years later. Fans will have to wait until 2026 to see the magnificent grounds of a White Lotus resort, as season 4 production is unlikely to begin until then.

Where can I watch The White Lotus season 4?

Season 4 of The White Lotus is probably going to be similar to the first three seasons, which were simultaneously streamed on Max and shown on HBO.

Currently available for viewing on Max are all three seasons of The White Lotus.
