A new group of wealthy guests have booked their reservations for what is sure to be a dramatic French vacation when "The White Lotus" returns for its fourth season.
The upcoming season of the HBO hit from creator, writer and executive producer Mike White will take place at a luxury property in France, following previous seasons set in opulent locations in Thailand, Italy and Hawaii.
While the network hasn't announced a release date yet for Season 4, the show has been keeping fans updated on who will make up the new cast of the anthology series, which rotates in an almost entirely different group of actors every season.
They will have a tough act to follow, as seven stars from Season 3 — Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Aimee Lou Wood, Carrie Coon, Sam Rockwell, Walton Goggins and Natasha Rothwell — all received Emmy nominations.
The plot and character descriptions for Season 4 have not yet been revealed. Six more actors were announced by HBO Max March 30. Find out who they are, below.
