The White Lotus: Heather Graham, Rosie Perez & More Set for Season 4

HBO's The White Lotus has cast Heather Graham, Rosie Perez, Ben Schnetzer, Tobias Santelmann, Frida Gustavsson, and Laura Smet for Season 4.

It looks like we have another wave of "guests" set to check into HBO and Mike White's France-set fourth season of The White Lotus. Earlier today, HBO announced that Heather Graham (They Will Kill You, Chosen Family), Rosie Perez (The Flight Attendant, Your Honor) Ben Schnetzer (The Madison, Y: The Last Man), Tobias Santelmann (Detective Hole, The Last Kingdom), Frida Gustavsson (Faithless, Vikings: Valhalla), and Laura Smet (Eager Bodies, The Bridesmaid) have been tapped for recurring roles. As was the case with the previous casting announcements, no details about their respective characters were released.

The six join a cast that reportedly includes Vincent Cassel (Black Swan), Corentin Fila (Being 17), Nadia Tereszkiewicz (Heads or Tails?), Alexander Ludwig (Heels), AJ Michalka (The Goldbergs), Steve Coogan (Chivalry), Caleb Jonte Edwards (Black Snow), Marissa Long (Harrison Bergeron), Helena Bonham Carter (Agatha Christie's Seven Dials), Chris Messina (Based on a True Story), Sandra Bernhard (Severance, Marty Supreme), Ari Graynor (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), newcomer Dylan Ennis (Pierre), Max Greenfield (The Neighborhood), Kumail Nanjiani (Only Murders In the Building), Chloe Bennet (Interior Chinatown), Charlie Hall (The Sex Lives of College Girls), and Jarrad Paul (Free Bert)

Previously, it was reported that the 19th-century palace-turned-luxury hotel Château de La Messardière had been chosen as the season's primary filming location (White normally films the season at more than one location). Located in Saint-Tropez on the Côte d'Azur, the hotel is one of a group of five-star hotels that make up Airelles Collection, owned by Stephane Courbit, founder and chairman of Banijay Group (Survivor, Peaky Blinders). HBO did not have a comment. In addition, Variety reports that the fourth season will kick off filming at the end of April and run through the end of October.

The White Lotus EP Offers Some Season 4 Location/Theme Insights

In August 2025, EP David Bernad checked in with The Hollywood Reporter to talk up the show's impressive nominations haul and much more. Along the way, Bernad had some insights to offer regarding the current status of Season 4's location and theme. In terms of White's experience filming the 50th season of CBS's hit reality competition series Survivor, Bernad hadn't spoken to White about it but imagined that it would play some kind of role in how the season is crafted. "I'm sure, even subconsciously, something Mike experienced from this past season of 'Survivor' will end up somehow in the show," he shared. "I don't know what his experiences were, but he's such a humanist and he's so aware of the world and his experiences, and I think that always informs his writing."

As for the location for the highly anticipated fourth season, Bernad noted that the choices were being "narrowed down" and a final call is "starting to come into focus" regarding the final location. "I think we're narrowing down where we'll end up, and we're still kind of having those conversations, but I think it's starting to come into focus," he explained. As for the Season 4 theme, the showrunner and co-executive producer sounded a lot more definitive – and much more cautious about their choice of words. "Nothing yet, but I am very excited for what Mike is working on and thinking about for season four. I think it's going to speak to culture in a way that […] is going to be relevant. I don't want to say too much [other than] I know what it is and where it's going, and it's really exciting, and I think people will be happy about the direction of season four."
