The White Lotus is officially packing its bags for France. While HBO has yet to confirm, stars Parker Posey and Jason Isaacs revealed that creator Mike White has chosen the South of France as the setting for the Emmy-winning dramedy’s upcoming fourth season.

“Mike [White] is in the South of France right now. That’s where Season 4 is going to be,” Posey shared with E! on the Emmys red carpet. The actor, who played Southern housewife Victoria Ratliff in Season 3, admitted she has no idea if she’ll be back.

Her co-star Jason Isaacs, who portrayed Timothy Ratliff, echoed the news but wasn’t too optimistic about his family’s White Lotus vacation prospects. “They’ll be lucky if they can stay in a Howard Johnson’s,” he joked.

Posey also teased the possibility of seeing Jennifer Coolidge again — despite her fan-favourite Tanya McQuoid being killed off in Season 2. “When you’re at the top of a mountain, people can hallucinate spirits. I think Coolidge can come back, depending on the location. Like in the Alps somewhere,” she said.

HBO declined to comment on the France setting, and no production timeline has been announced. White previously hinted that he would take some time off before starting work on the next chapter.

Season 3, which followed vacationers from Koh Samui to Bangkok, marked the series’ biggest ratings to date. Earlier installments were set in Sicily and Maui, with each season reimagining a Four Seasons property as the lavish White Lotus resort.

Across all three chapters, the anthology has chronicled groups of wealthy, troubled travellers whose dysfunctions — and, often, mysterious deaths — collide with the hotel staff’s lives. The White Lotus is executive produced by Mike White, David Bernad and Mark Kamine.
