Welcome to Le Lotus Blanc! The White Lotus’s creator, Mike White, is taking his hit murder mystery dramedy to France for its fourth season.
Deadline reported that the specific Four Seasons’ hotel (which has doubled as White Lotus properties on screen) has yet to be identified.
Viva la France!
Word on the street is that TWL s4 “has focused on the famous Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat. It’s perched on the tip of the Cap-Ferrat peninsula on the French Riviera. The property has strong Hollywood ties with its proximity to Cannes.
However, sources stress that no hotel has been locked in. Mike White tends to use multiple resorts in one season, which was the case with the Thailand-based Season 3.
The other Four Seasons hotels in France are the Megève in the French Alps and Hotel George V.
Cap-Ferrat is the closest to the settings of the first three seasons of The White Lotus which took place at luxury resorts by the beach in Hawaii (s1), Italy (s2), and Thailand (s3).
“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.” It is unclear whether he still feels that way. But, in any case, the Cap-Ferrat is not directly on the beach.
While Megève could provide a change of scenery, it may be too much of a change. Filming might be tough in May, when they typically film, because the location is a popular ski resort. The White Lotus cast members have revealed that White “hates the cold” and has previously nixed suggestions about ski resort locations.
