“The White Lotus” renewed for season 4 on HBO

Extended vacation!

“The White Lotus” season 4 has officially been greenlit by HBO, with production scheduled for 2026.

It is unclear where the fourth season will take place or if any actors will return. But creator-showrunner Mike White has already pitched his ideas to Casey Boys, the HBO and Max chief revealed in November.

The early renewal comes just weeks before the Feb. 16 premiere of Season 3, which takes the Emmy-winning ensemble comedy-drama to Thailand. Natasha Rothwell, who played spa manager Belinda Lindsey in season 1 in Hawaii, is the only returning actress this time around, after Jennifer Coolidge reprized her role as Tanya McQuoid in season two.

Both seasons so far have followed groups of troubled vacationers who unleash their worst and most privileged impulses at the idyllic White Lotus resort, as their exploits intersect with members of the hotel staff. Both seasons also featured a mysterious death.

Parker Posey, Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Tayme Thapthimthong, Christian Friedel, Julian Kostov, Morgana O’Reilly, Lek Patravadi, Shalini Peiris, Carrie Coon, Scott Glenn, Francesca join Rothwell in Thailand. Corney, Nicholas Duvernay, Arnas Fedaravičius, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola and Blackpink member Lisa.

“The White Lotus” won 15 Emmy Awards in its first two seasons, including for Outstanding Limited Series for its first season. (Since returning for another episode with Coolidge, the series has moved into the drama categories.)

The series is produced by White, David Bernad and Mark Kamine.
