\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Welcome to Le Lotus Blanc \u2014 The White Lotus<\/a> creator Mike White<\/a> and HBO<\/a> have zeroed in on France as location for the upcoming fourth season of the hit murder mystery comedy-drama anthology, sources tell Deadline. <\/p>\n

\n\tA rep for HBO declined comment. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe White Lotus works exclusively with the Four Seasons hotel chain which double as White Lotus hotels. Speculation has focused on the famous Grand-H\u00f4tel du Cap-Ferrat, perched on the tip of the Cap-Ferrat peninsula on the French Riviera, which has strong Hollywood ties with its proximity to Cannes. However, sources stress that no hotel has been locked in, noting that the show tends to use multiple resorts in one season, as was the case with the Thailand-based Season 3. It used the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui as its main setting, along with three other non-Four Seasons hotels. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe three other Four Seasons hotels in France are the Meg\u00e8ve in the French Alps and Hotel George V, located in the heart of Paris. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe 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).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor the fourth season, I want to get a little bit out of the crashing waves of rocks vernacular but there\u2019s always more room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels,\u201d White said at the end of Season 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is unclear whether he still feels that way but in any case, the Cap-Ferrat is not directly on the beach. <\/p>\n

\n\tMeg\u00e8ve could provide a change of scenery. It may be too much of a change, especially if production starts before May next year, which is possible. That is because the location is a popular ski resort during the winter.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe White Lotus cast members have revealed that White hates the cold and has previously nixed suggestions about ski resort locations. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs for Paris, that would also be a dramatic change, bringing The White Lotus to an urban environment (albeit a very picturesque and romantic one.)<\/p>\n

\n\tDeadline reported earlier this year that the acclaimed series, whose third season received 23 Emmy nominations, was considering a Four Seasons hotel in Europe for Season 4.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhite and HBO executives were originally scheduled to scout locations in early spring; the scouting trip was subsequently pushed to summer as White needed a little breather after Season 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Welcome to Le Lotus Blanc \u2014 The White Lotus creator Mike White and HBO have zeroed in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,2592,3343,111,139,69,3344,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-2253","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-hbo","10":"tag-mike-white","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz","14":"tag-the-white-lotus","15":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
