Nothing is going to stop the rich and famous from making their reservations at the White Lotus—not even back-to-back murders at the resort’s different global locales.

It’s official, a whole new set of guests will be checking in for yet another season of The White Lotus. Weeks before season three aired, HBO confirmed that Mike White’s dark comedy would be returning for a fourth season. While the plot and cast details haven’t been disclosed, we can probably safely assume that season four will be brimming with even more mystery, desire, and—well—death. Keep scrolling to find out everything we know so far.

The series is heading to France for season four.

According to Deadline, Mike White and HBO have settled on France for The White Lotus‘s location for season four. It has been reported that guests will be allegedly checking in to the Château de La Messardière in Saint-Tropez.

The new cast is, of course, star-studded.

Season 4 cast will prove to be stacked as recently it was announced that Heather Graham, Frida Gustavsson, Rosie Perez, Tobias Santelmann, Ben Schnetzer, and Laura Smet would also be checking in. The first round of cast members was announced by HBO back in January, and it included Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Coogan, Caleb Jonte Edwards, Marissa Long, Alexander Ludwig, Chris Messina, and AJ Michalka. The French actor Vincent Cassel and the iconic Sandra Bernhard are also rumored to be joining the cast.

Season four will sound very different.

Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, the Emmy-winning composer responsible for The White Lotus’s beloved theme song and anxiety-inducing soundtrack, confirmed that he will not return to the project next season.

In an interview with the New York Times, Tapia de Veer said that his decision to exit The White Lotus stemmed from creative differences between himself and White. Critically, the two struggled over season three’s theme song, which did not feature the fan-favorite “ooh-loo-loo-loo” melody that had previously appeared in seasons one and two.

“People are furious about the change of the theme, and I thought that was interesting,” Tapia de Veer said, revealing that an uncut version of season three’s theme included the “ooh-loo-loo-loo”’s. “I texted the producer and I told him that it would be great to, at some point, give them the longer version with the ooh-loo-loo-loos, because people will explode if they realize that it was going there anyway. He thought it was a good idea. But then Mike cut that—he wasn’t happy about that. I mean, at that point, we already had our last fight forever, I think. So he was just saying no to anything.”

Tapia de Veer later posted the uncut version of the song on his YouTube channel, which you can listen to here.

Season four likely won’t drop until 2027.

With production slated to begin in 2026, it’s possible that we won’t get to watch season four until late 2026 or even 2027.
