Mike White Teases a Fresh Direction forThe White LotusSeason 4
So, the final curtain just fell on season three of The White Lotus , and while we’re still digesting all the drama, suspense, and Buddhist undertones of that Thai adventure, creator Mike White is already stirring the pot for season four—and he's hinting at a big change. After idyllic, sun-soaked seasons in Hawaii, Sicily, and Thailand, White says he’s ready to shift the visual and thematic tone of the series. “I want to get a little bit out of the ‘crashing waves against rocks’ vernacular,” he recently shared on Unpacking the Episode on Max. Translation? We might be leaving the beach behind.

But don’t worry, the signature White Lotus chaos isn't going anywhere. As White cheekily added, “There’s always room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels.” Classic. While that doesn’t exactly narrow it down, HBO executive Francesca Orsi did confirm that location scouting is underway, with a strong lean toward Europe. She didn’t give away any specifics, but let’s be honest—Europe is vast, and the possibilities are juicy.
White’s producing partner David Bernad also chimed in, noting Mike’s distaste for the cold, which gives us a clue: probably not Scandinavia. There’s speculation swirling around potential locations like the French Riviera, Morocco, or even Australia. In fact, Mike himself said at the Vivid Festival in Sydney that he dreams of hitting every continent. “We kind of have to come to Australia if we keep going,” he said. “It would be so fun. There’s a huge wealth of talent here and the beauty is inarguable.” That sounds like a pretty solid tease, right?
And let’s not forget the show’s ongoing partnership with the Four Seasons hotel chain—meaning wherever the next destination lands, it’s going to be opulent, picturesque, and ripe for a dark, satirical unraveling of humanity.
What makes this even more exciting is how each season evolves in tone and theme. Season three leaned heavily into Buddhist philosophy and identity, with White calling it a “dramatic investigation” into suffering and ego. So if we move into a fourth season with a new backdrop and a fresh philosophical lens? That could take The White Lotus
All we know for sure is this: wherever the next White Lotus blooms, it’s going to be stunning, surprising, and most definitely deadly.
