All good things must come to an end – like the most recent whirlwind season of The White Lotus. The hit dramedy has confirmed that its (surviving) characters will return for a fourth season – but the big question floating in the air is, where?

The series creator, Mike White, has expressed interest in setting future seasons on every continent. That means Australia is definitely in the running for season four – along with Africa, South America and Antarctica (but let’s be real, that’s a bit of a stretch). 

Like in previous seasons, we know The White Lotus will once again be filmed at a Four Seasons hotel. White has also hinted that it won’t be set on a beach, which all adds up, considering Australia’s only Four Seasons Hotel sits right on Sydney Harbour, swapping sand for spectacular views of the Opera House.

Based on the subtle clues dropped by The White Lotus crew, our Time Out global team has also shortlisted Tanzania, Morocco and Mexico as other potential locations. Filming for season four is set to kick off in 2026, with a tentative release planned for late 2026 or early 2027. Now, we’ll just have to wait and see what drama washes up on our shores…
