Where’s ‘The White Lotus’ Headed Next?
Pack your bags because “The White Lotus” is heading back to paradise.
Mike White’s darkly addictive HBO satire, which has been skewering the ultra-rich and their vacation disasters since 2021, officially wrapped its highly anticipated third season earlier this month. And while Season 3 took viewers on a chaotic ride through Thailand, complete with yoga retreats, blackmail, family feuds, and the show’s signature “who-died” mystery, fans are already buzzing about where Season 4 could go next.
Though HBO has yet to substantiate the brand new location, the series has famously been filmed at a unique 4 Seasons resort each season: Hawaii, Italy, and most recently, Thailand. But that beachy trend may be coming to an end.

“For the fourth season, I need to get a bit of bit out of the ‘crashing waves against rocks’ vernacular,” White teased in a post-finale video shared by Max. While fans have long been begging for a ski resort setting, don’t count on it, as producer David Bernad told The Guardian, “Mike doesn’t just like the cold.”

Season 3 followed three important groups: a chaotic family from North Carolina, a pair of mismatched lovers, and three lifelong friends on a soul-searching reunion. And, as all the time, all of it began with a dead body whose identity wasn’t revealed until the ultimate episode.
The newest season’s all-star solid included Justified’s Walton Goggins, Sex Education breakout Aimee Lou Wood, Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Sarah Catherine Hook, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sam Nivola, Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb, K-pop queen Lalisa Manobal, and Tayme Thapthimthong.
Natasha Rothwell returned as Belinda, the zen spa therapist from Season 1, while Jon Gries made a surprise reappearance as Greg, the conniving widower of Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya.
