With the upcoming installment of Mike White’s HBO drama set to take place in Château de la Messardière in Saint-Tropez, France, the confirmed list of people appearing in the upcoming season has begun trickling in.
Reservations are being booked for season four of The White Lotus, and these actors are confirmed for a once-in-a-lifetime getaway (or opportunity, you could say).
With the fourth installment of Mike White’s HBO drama set to take place in Château de la Messardière in Saint-Tropez, France, the confirmed list of people appearing in the upcoming season has begun trickling in.
HBO notoriously doesn’t share many details about upcoming seasons (a logline detailed that season four will “follow a new group of White Lotus hotel guests and employees over the span of a week,” as expected). So each new cast member announced as part of the new season is enough to ignite fanfare and anticipation surrounding the upcoming installment.
While the full slate of guests has not yet been revealed, The Hollywood Reporter has assembled a list of all the confirmed cast members appearing in The White Lotus season four.
