Mike White Prepares to Set White Lotus Season Four in France as Fans Speculate on Luxury Hotel Locations and Murder Mystery Plot

Fans of The White Lotus have reason to be excited as whispers circulate that the show’s fourth season may be set in France.

Series creator Mike White, 55, has previously hinted at potential destinations, teasing fans that the next installment will continue the show’s trademark blend of luxury and murder.


Mike White Keeps Season Four Details Close

White reportedly told outlets, “For the fourth season, I want to get a little bit out of the crashing waves of rocks vernacular, but there’s always more room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels.”

While it’s unclear whether the next season will feature an oceanfront property, speculation has already begun about potential French locales.


Possible Locations on the French Riviera

One luxury contender mentioned is the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, a glamorous spot on the French Riviera that becomes especially lively during the Cannes Film Festival.

Another possibility is Megève, a French ski resort, though insiders suggest White is not particularly fond of snowy, cold settings and has historically preferred warmer climates.

Deadline reports that no hotel has been officially confirmed for season four, and production may incorporate multiple resorts as it has in past seasons.


A Look Back at Past Seasons

The White Lotus has previously transported viewers around the globe: season one took place in Hawaii, season two in Italy, and season three in Thailand.

The most recent season centered on the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, with production also taking place at three additional non-Four Seasons hotels.


Star-Studded Ensembles and Award Buzz

The show is known for its rotating ensemble casts.

Past seasons have featured stars such as Natasha Rothwell, Sydney Sweeney, Jennifer Coolidge, Murray Bartlett, Alexandra Daddario, Aubrey Plaza, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Walton Goggins, and even Blackpink’s Lisa (Lalisa Manobal).

Season three, in particular, has been recognized with 23 Primetime Emmy nominations for its mix of murder mystery, dark comedy, and high-end drama.


What Fans Can Expect

While official announcements are pending, the anticipation for season four is already high.

With White’s penchant for luxury, intrigue, and unexpected twists, fans can expect another visually stunning season filled with drama, mystery, and a fresh European backdrop.
