\n\tWhile HBO hasn\u2019t yet officially confirmed that Season 4 of \u201cThe White Lotus<\/a>\u201d will shoot in France, Variety has learned that the hit Mike White<\/a> anthology will indeed next shoot in the country and has even been actively scouting swank locations in two iconic locations: Paris and the French Riviera. <\/p>\n

\n\tSimilar to Season 3 \u2014 which shot mainly on the island of Koh Samui with some episodes in Bangkok, where Rick Hatchett (Walton Goggins) prepares a doomed revenge plan \u2014 the story of Season 4 will likely unfold mostly in the South of France, with a subplot in Paris. At this point, no hotels have been locked for Season 4, which is still in development and won\u2019t shoot until next year, according to sources.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlthough the last three seasons have taken place at Four Seasons properties across Hawaii, Sicily and Thailand, Season 4 will go a different route as HBO hasn\u2019t renewed its marketing partnership with Four Seasons hotel chain. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe luxury hotels that have been visited in Paris include the iconic Le Lutetia, a five-star property on the Left Bank of the Seine, in the chic neighborhood of Saint-Germain des Pres. Built in 1910, Le Lutetia (now part of the Mandarin Oriental chain), was a second home to a number of iconic figures throughout history, including Charlie Chaplin, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso and Josephine Baker. The other Parisian palace that\u2019s been considered for Season 4 is the Ritz Paris, another five-star hotel which opened its doors in 1898 and was a favorite hangout spot for the likes of Coco Chanel, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Marcel Proust.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhite, who enjoys cultivating some mystery and suspense around his show, gave some enigmatic cue about the location of Season 4 in the\u00a0\u201cafter the episode\u201d clip package that ran on HBO after the Season 3 finale. \u201cFor the fourth season, I want to get a little bit out of the crashing waves of rocks vernacular,\u201d he teased. \u201cBut there\u2019s always more room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels.\u201d Locations with rocky beaches on the French Riviera include Monaco and Nice. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs in other seasons that featured wealthy Americans vacationing in idyllic resorts and mingling with local characters, Season 4 will likely showcase some French talent alongside American actors. While the cast is mostly different from one season to another, there\u2019s been some returning characters, such as Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge), Greg (Jon Gries) and Belinda (Natasha Rothwell). It would certainly be amusing to see Charlotte LeBon, the French-Canadian actor who plays Chlo\u00e9, return in Season 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While HBO hasn\u2019t yet officially confirmed that Season 4 of \u201cThe White Lotus\u201d will shoot in France, Variety…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,49093,49094],"class_list":{"0":"post-259280","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-mike-white","10":"tag-the-white-lotus"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
