The White Lotus’ Season 4 to Shoot at 19th-Century Castle Hotel in Saint-Tropez

As Mike White is still working on Season 4 of “The White Lotus,” Variety has learned that the show will be filmed at a 19th-century castle turned luxury hotel called the Château de La Messardière in Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera.

The Château de La Messardière is located on 32 acres of land with parasol pines, cypress trees, and jasmine.

 It is part of the Airelles Collection, a group of 5-star hotels owned by Stephane Courbit, the founder and chairman of Banijay Group (“Survivor,” “Peaky Blinders”). HBO has not commented on the news.

The hotel’s suites range from $3,000 to $8,000 per night and offer a spa, beach access via Rolls-Royce, restaurants, sports activities, and a children’s camp.

Filming for Season 4 will start at the end of April and continue through October, according to Variety.

 Like previous seasons, the show will not be filmed entirely at one place. Mike White likes to use different locations to create unique backdrops. The Château de La Messardière is just one of several locations that will be used. The story will take place on the French Riviera, with some scenes also filmed at a Paris hotel.

The plot is still secret — except that HBO confirmed the show will again follow a group of hotel guests and staff over the course of a week.

 Sources say the Cannes Film Festival may be part of the storyline. Since the show will be filmed on the Riviera during the festival, which runs from May 13 to 26, it sounds very likely.

Casting for Season 4 is happening, and many French actors have auditioned.

 As Variety reported last month, Alexander Ludwig (“Earth Abides,” “Vikings”) and AJ Michalka (“The Goldbergs,” “Super 8”) are the first new cast members announced. So far, only three cast members have appeared in more than one season: Jennifer Coolidge, who played Tanya McQuoid in Seasons 1 and 2; Natasha Rothwell, who played Belinda Lindsey in Seasons 1 and 3; and Jon Gries, who has played Greg Hunt in all three seasons.

The Thailand-set Season 3 also starred Walton Goggins, Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, Sam Rockwell, Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Aimee Lou Wood, Sam Nivola, and Patrick Schwarzenegger.

 It earned eight acting Emmy nominations. “The White Lotus” is executive produced by Mike White, David Bernad, and Mark Kamine.
