The successful series is shooting on the French Riviera, HBO Max shared last month. Filming is taking place in the popular towns of Cannes, St. Tropez and Monaco.
There will also be scenes filmed in Paris, though the story will primarily be filmed along the picturesque Côte d’Azur.
The hotels being used for season four were also named: Airelles Château de la Messardière as the White Lotus du Cap, and the Hôtel Martinez as the White Lotus Cannes.
The White Lotus du Cap is a play on the name of the real hotel Eden du Cap where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton notoriously carried on a torrid love affair there while married to other people, then returned there for their own honeymoon.
Helena Bonham Carter was supposed to take a central role during season four, but she abruptly left the project and was replaced by Laura Dern.
HBO released a statement announcing Carter’s departure from the show due to creative concerns about her role.
‘With filming just underway on season four of The White Lotus, it had become apparent that the character which Mike White created for Helena Bonham Carter did not align once on set,’ the network revealed to TMZ.

‘The role has subsequently been rethought, is being rewritten and will be recast in the coming weeks,’ continued the premium cable broadcaster.
In their statement, the network said: ‘HBO, the producers and Mike White are saddened that they won’t get to work with her, but remain ardent fans and very much hope to work with the legendary actress on another project soon.’
Fans flocked to social media bewailing the news, leaving such comments as: ‘Oh my she’s the one I’m looking forward to seeing in this season!!!!’
Dismayed Instagram users posted reactions like: ‘I’m depressed,’ ‘So the main character is gone…,’ and: ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.’
In addition to Graham and Dern, Vincent Cassel and Steve Coogan have main roles.
Caleb Jonte Edwards, Dylan Ennis, Corentin Fila, Ari Graynor, Marissa Long, Alexander Ludwig, Chris Messina, AJ Michalka, Kumail Nanjiani and Nadia Tereszkiewicz have also been named as actors for season four.
