Filming for season four continues on the Cannes steps, with Laura Dern in marabou feathers and Marissa Long in sequins, alongside Chris Messina. Production had already started on non-Cannes scenes, with Mike White unable to attend the Survivor 50 finale in person and joining via Zoom. Helena Bonham Carter decided the show was not for her after rehearsals or principal photography, and Laura Dern replaced her. Carter left due to “creative differences” after Mike White wanted a more “boisterous performance.” The season’s setting expands across real hotels, including Château de la Messardière and Hôtel Martinez, with additional scenes in Paris and most action centered on the festival, including a likely 20-minute standing ovation at the premiere.
"French paps caught a first look at The White Lotusseason four filming on the famous Cannes steps. Laura Dern looks amazing in marabou feathers, Marissa Long stuns in sequins, and Chris Messina is also there."
"We knew filming had already begun on the non-Cannes scenes of season four, since Mike White couldn't make the Survivor 50 finale in the flesh and had to Zoom in. We also know enough rehearsals or principal photography had occurred for Helena Bonham Carter to decide the show wasn't for her."
"Dern replaced Carter as some sort of actress perhaps resenting her elder-stateswoman status. Carter left over "creative differences" after White wanted a more "boisterous performance." From these pics, we can glean that Long is the Eve Harrington to Dern's Margo Channing."
"This season's White Lotus is spreading across a few real hotels. Château de la Messardière and Hôtel Martinez are now the White Lotus du Cap and White Lotus Cannes. Additional scenes are filming in Paris, but most of the action will be at the festival. In true Cannes fashion, expect a 20-minute standing ovation at the show's premiere."
