Possible Locations for Season 4
The exact location for Season 4 has not been revealed yet. However, creator Mike White has shared his dream to have the series explore every continent. Thus far, the show has included locations in North America (Hawaii), Europe (Sicily), and Asia (Thailand). This leaves South America, Australia, Africa, and even Antarctica still in play for future seasons.
During a festival in Sydney, White expressed interest in Australia. He pointed out that the country’s beauty and talent make it a strong contender for the next season’s setting. However, HBO executive Francessca Orsi hinted at a European destination. This announced that location scouting would start soon. Moreover, she mentioned that while it is not certain where they will go, the chances are towards Europe.
While many locations are on the table, it seems some options are dismissed. White noted that Paris might not be feasible. This is because it could feel like a “cop-out”. Also, he wants the location to have a significant impact on the story and setting. As for Antarctica, a colder climate seems unlikely. Producer David Bernad confirmed that Mike White prefers warm weather due to his California roots. Therefore, the next season will likely take place in a country with a warm climate.
Cast Members for Season 4
Fans wonder which cast members will make it to season 4. This speculation is usual for “The White Lotus”. The show has previously welcomed back familiar faces. For instance, Jennifer Coolidge’s character, Tanya, appeared in both Season 1 and Season 2. Also, Natasha Rothwell’s Belinda returned in both Season 1 and Season 3. Meanwhile, Jon Gries’s Greg has been part of every season so far.
As for the fate of Season 3 characters, it is still uncertain who will survive until the season finale. The finale has already indicated at least one character’s death. This happens when Belinda’s son discovers a body in the pond after gunfire erupted at the resort. Moreover, viewers hope that Parker Posey’s character survives. Her unique lines, such as “Piper, no!” and “Lorazepam,” have become fan favorites.
Moreover, there is also buzz about an “all-stars season” for Patrick Schwarzenegger. He plays Saxon in Season 3. Also, he mentioned that he had heard rumors about bringing back characters from previous seasons. Thus, Mike White commented that he would “love to do that”. Also, he suggested that some faces from earlier seasons might return in future installments.
