Production is expected to begin from April 2026 and continue until October, with many scenes planned at the Château de la Messardière, a historic palace-turned-luxury hotel overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
Additional filming locations across the French Riviera and Paris may also be used.
The new season will once again follow a group of wealthy hotel guests and staff over the course of a week at the fictional White Lotus resort, continuing the satirical drama that has made the series a global success.
International and French actors join the cast
Season four will feature a major international cast, including Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Coogan, Sandra Bernhard, Chris Messina, Alexander Ludwig and AJ Michalka.
Several French actors are also joining the production, notably Vincent Cassel, Nadia Tereszkiewicz and Corentin Fila, who are expected to play characters connected to the resort or the local community.
Casting open for local extras
To recreate the lively atmosphere of the luxury destination, the production is looking for men and women aged 16 and over to appear as extras.
Casting sessions are being organised in Saint-Tropez, where applicants will be photographed and asked to complete a registration form.
Participants are advised to arrive dressed in “spring casual chic” attire, with natural styling.
Selected extras will appear in scenes filmed throughout the Riviera during the production period.
