The critically acclaimed dark comedy-drama The White Lotus on HBO is now officially back for its fourth season! Fans have much to look forward to even if creator Mike White is just getting started with the planning process. According to The Wrap, Mike White, the show's creator, presented a broad concept, and Casey Bloys, HBO's chief content officer, verified that he is currently in the site-scouting stage. Once production begins, the shooting is predicted to last for a number of months.

"I know the general outline of what Season 4 is going to be; Mike (White) did a little pitching," Bloys said to the press.

White will be exploring to see what inspires him at each location, Bloys said. White will then let the producers know what's on his mind, but the HBO official stated that it's still "percolating in his head."

The setting for Season 4 of 'The White Lotus' is still unknown.

There is plenty of conjecture, even if the movie's precise location is still unknown. Under the initiative Secret Garden, White had requested and been awarded a film grant from the Norwegian Film Institute in the amount of AUD 13.3 million (about $8,661,702.50), according to a story in Harper's Bazaar Australia. This is thought to be a codename for The White Lotus, suggesting that Norway could be the setting for Season 4.

However, the journal noted that, like the transition of Season 3 from Japan to Thailand, financial disputes may have caused the plan to fail. According to producer David Bernad, Mike White, who is from California, might be reluctant to travel to colder regions.

Rumors, meanwhile, have it that the crew is thinking about warmer places like Mexico, Egypt, or even Australia. Since the prior three seasons were all filmed at Four Seasons resorts, fans are paying close attention to places where the upscale brand is present.

Which actors will be returning for the fourth season?

The cast details are currently unavailable. In most episodes, a combination of new and recognizable personalities is featured. Jennifer Coolidge was a success in the role of Tanya in the first two seasons. In Season 3, viewers saw the return of spa manager Belinda and Tanya's suspicious spouse, Greg.

One of the most popular characters from Season 3 that people want to see return is Chelsea, played by Aimee Lou Wood. There are all sorts of actors being recommended for Season 4, including Jeff Probst, Stanley Tucci, Toni Collette, Lisa Kudrow, and Catherine O'Hara, which is a humorous nod to Mike White's reality television past.

When will it be shown?

The White Lotus normally requires more than a year of filming and preparation. Mike White is just beginning to scout sites. If things go as planned, this may mean that Season 4 won't be released until late 2026 or 2027.
