Vacation extended!
“The White Lotus” Season 4 has officially been greenlit by HBO, with production eyed for 2026.
It is unclear where the fourth season will take place, or whether any cast members will return. But creator-showrunner Mike White has already pitched ideas to Casey Boys, the HBO and Max chief revealed in November.
The early renewal comes a few weeks before the Feb. 16 premiere of Season 3, which takes the Emmy-winning ensemble dramedy to Thailand. Natasha Rothwell, who played the spa manager Belinda Lindsey in the Hawaii-set Season 1, is the only returning cast member this time around, after Jennifer Coolidge reprised her role as Tanya McQuoid in the second season.
Both seasons so far have followed groups of troubled vacationers who unleash their worst, most privileged impulses at the idyllic White Lotus resort, as their exploits intersect with hotel staff members. Both seasons also featured a mysterious death.

“The White Lotus” won 15 Emmys across its first two seasons, including for outstanding limited series for its first season. (Since it returned for another installment with Coolidge, the series moved into the drama categories.)
The series is executive produced by White, David Bernad and Mark Kamine.
