Fans of HBO’s hit dramedy The White Lotus can rejoice—the series has officially been renewed for a fourth season, with production slated for 2026. Creator and showrunner Mike White has already pitched new ideas, as revealed by HBO and Max chief Casey Bloys in November.
The renewal comes even before the highly anticipated premiere of Season 3, which takes the Emmy-winning series to Thailand on February 16. As fans gear up for the new season, the news of a fourth instalment is sure to keep excitement buzzing.
Details about the fourth season remain scarce, with its location and returning cast members yet to be confirmed.
However, if the past seasons are any indication, viewers can expect more dark comedy, scandalous drama, and a signature mysterious death.
The upcoming Thailand-set season features Natasha Rothwell reprising her Season 1 role as spa manager Belinda Lindsey. Joining her are an impressive ensemble cast that includes Parker Posey, Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, and Leslie Bibb.
Thai actors such as Dom Hetrakul, Tayme Thapthimthong, and Lek Patravadi add local flair to the roster, while international stars like Blackpink’s Lisa, Carrie Coon, and Christian Friedel bring global appeal.

Other cast members include Julian Kostov, Morgana O’Reilly, Shalini Peiris, Francesca Corney, Nicholas Duvernay, Arnas Fedaravičius, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Sam Nivola. The eclectic lineup promises a mix of fresh dynamics and gripping performances.
The first two seasons of The White Lotus transported viewers to Hawaii and Italy, offering biting commentary on privilege and human nature.
Both seasons followed affluent vacationers indulging their worst impulses while their lives intersected with hotel staff. Each season concluded with a mysterious death, keeping audiences hooked till the very end.
The series’ accolades are equally impressive. The White Lotus has secured 15 Emmy wins across its first two seasons, including Outstanding Limited Series for its debut.
After Jennifer Coolidge’s unforgettable return as Tanya McQuoid in Season 2, the show transitioned into the drama categories at the Emmys.
