The Vacation Continues: “The White Lotus” Renewed For Season 4
The trip continues.
The White Lotus Season 4 has been officially greenlit by HBO before the first episode of Season 3 has aired. Variety reports that Mike White’s razor-sharp satire will return, with production likely to begin in 2026. There’s no indication yet where the fourth season will take place and whether any cast members will return (Natasha Rothwell, an alumnus from Season 1, is returning for the third season). HBO and Max chief Casey Bloys revealed that White pitched ideas for season 4, and presumably Bloys liked what he heard. Given White’s track record and the critical and commercial success of the series (It’s won 15 Emmys over its first two seasons), the renewal for a fourth vacation makes complete sense.
Season 3 arrives on February 16. We got a look at the first trailer for season 3 back in mid-December, revealing a new cast (save for Rothwell) dining, drinking, and possibly dying at the resort’s Thailand location. Once again, White’s gathered a killer ensemble.
The new season’s guests include a girl’s trip trio in Leslie Bibb as Kate, Carrie Coon as Laurie, and Michelle Monaghan as Jaclyn, a wealthy businessman traveling with his wife and three kids portrayed Jason Isaacs as Timothy, Parker Posey as his wife Victoria, and Sarah Catherine Hook as their daughter, Piper, the aforementioned Rothwell returning as Belinda Lindsey, the spa manage from the Hawaii location, and Walter Goggins as Rick and Aimee Lou Wood as his girlfriend, Chelsea.
White has previously described the Hawaii-set season one as primarily about money, the Sicily-set season two primarily about sex, and now, season three will flirt with death. The trailer revealed the reliably self-involved guests handling a grab bag of anxieties that they’ve lugged to Thailand in the hopes of off-loading them, including a brief shot of a robbery that is certain to go wrong.
Here’s the full cast list: Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Lalisa Manobal, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, Lek Patravadi, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Tayme Thapthimthong, Aimee Lou Wood. Additional cast includes Nicholas Duvernay, Arnas Fedaravičius, Christian Friedel, Scott Glenn, Dom Hetrakul, Julian Kostov, Charlotte Le Bon, Morgana O’Reilly, and Shalini Peiri
The White Lotus is open for business on HBO on February 16.
