White Lotus Descends on Cannes for Season 4 as Carter Departs and Dern Joins

Season 4 of The White Lotus is set to shoot around the Cannes Film Festival with a reported budget of about $120 million, spanning the French Riviera and Paris for roughly seven months and using Cannes venues such as the Martinez and the Lutetia. Helena Bonham Carter exited the HBO production over creative differences and was replaced by Laura Dern, who joins a star-studded ensemble as the series re-creates Cannes after the festival to explore fame, service dynamics, and industry satire.
