The White Lotus is opening its doors once again for another group of rich and entitled characters to have a vacation to remember – for better or, more likely, for worse.

Created by Mike White once again, the upcoming season will follow in its predecessors’ footsteps by having an overall theme the guests will tackle.

This time, it’s fame and the concept of celebrity.

HBO has confirmed the season will be taking place during the annual Cannes Film Festival.

While bigger details about the series are being kept under wraps, it is largely expected to follow tradition set by the three seasons before it, and involve the discovery of a dead body.

Flashing back to the week leading up to the body being found, we will meet the guests and hotel workers of the White Lotus as they prepare for a getaway, with increasingly barmy demands, behaviour and twists to maintain their status.

As with all seasons of The White Lotus, the series will be based at one of the fictional chain’s most luxurious resorts.

This time, they are heading to the French Riviera.

For the first time ever, there will be two White Lotus hotels across two locations in the south of France – the White Lotus du Cap and White Lotus Cannes.

For the White Lotus du Cap, the real-life Airelles Château de la Messardière, a 19th century estate on the coast of Saint-Tropez, will be used.

Hôtel Martinez, a five-star luxury Art Deco resort that has existed on the Promenade de la Croisette in Cannes since 1929, will be the White Lotus Cannes.

The White Lotus is back with another all-star cast playing our elite one-percenters.
