Watch the official Season 4 trailer here:
HBO dropped the highly anticipated official trailer for “The White Lotus” Season 4 on Monday, sending fans into a meltdown over the return of Natasha Rothwell’s beloved character Belinda — this time as a paying guest at the luxury resort chain.
The teaser, clocking in at just over two minutes, offers glimpses of opulent French settings, escalating tensions among a fresh crop of dysfunctional vacationers, and Rothwell’s Belinda Lindsey lounging poolside with a newfound air of affluence. The shift from overworked spa manager to wealthy patron has ignited speculation about revenge plots, lingering grudges, and potential confrontations with Jon Gries’ enigmatic Greg Hunt.
Created by Mike White, the Emmy-winning anthology series continues its tradition of skewering the ultra-rich with dark humor and murder mystery. After stints in Hawaii, Sicily, and Thailand, Season 4 transports viewers to France, blending Parisian elegance with French Riviera glamour.
The trailer opens with sweeping shots of azure coastlines and grand hotel facades, underscored by a reimagined version of the iconic theme — confirming reports that original composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer parted ways due to creative differences. Quick cuts reveal interpersonal drama: heated arguments in lavish suites, secretive rendezvous, and ominous hints of foul play, including a body discovery that echoes the show’s signature cold opens.
Rothwell’s Belinda, last seen in Season 3 securing a hefty payout amid moral dilemmas, appears transformed. Clad in designer attire and sipping cocktails, she exchanges loaded glances with staff and fellow guests. Fan reactions online exploded, with many theorizing her arc involves settling old scores or navigating the hypocrisy of newfound wealth.
“Belinda as a guest is the glow-up we deserved,” one viral post read. Others speculated on crossovers, noting Gries’ Greg — the only character besides Belinda to span multiple seasons — could resurface for unresolved threads tied to the late Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge).
New cast members teased in the trailer include Alexander Ludwig (“Vikings”) and AJ Michalka (Aly & AJ), whose roles remain under wraps but promise musical undertones given their real-life talents. Rumors persist of bigger names in negotiations, though HBO has stayed mum.
White, who writes and directs all episodes, has teased a departure from beachside tropes. “I want to get a little bit out of the ‘crashing waves against rocks’ vernacular,” he said post-Season 3. The France setting aligns with reports of scouting in Paris and the Côte d’Azur, potentially mixing urban sophistication with coastal excess.
HBO renewed “The White Lotus” for Season 4 in January 2025, ahead of Season 3’s February premiere. The third installment shattered records, with its finale drawing massive viewership and sparking global tourism boosts in Thailand.
Production on Season 4 is slated to begin in spring 2026, eyeing a late 2026 or early 2027 premiere. Unlike prior seasons, HBO did not renew its marketing tie-in with Four Seasons hotels, opening possibilities for diverse luxury backdrops like iconic Parisian palaces or Riviera landmarks.
The series has become a cultural juggernaut, earning 23 Emmy nominations for Season 3 alone and cementing its status as HBO’s flagship satire. White’s sharp take on privilege, spirituality, and human frailty continues to draw A-list talent eager for meaty, limited roles.
Fan theories abound: Will Belinda’s wealth bring empowerment or corruption? Could Greg’s schemes catch up? And with White hinting at exploring fame, art, or celebrity culture, the trailer’s fleeting shots of high-society events fuel buzz about meta commentary.
Supporting players from past seasons, like Nicholas Duvernay as Belinda’s son Zion, have expressed interest in returns, though nothing is confirmed.
As one trailer breakdown noted, “This feels bigger, bolder — France elevates the decadence while keeping the bite.”
“The White Lotus” streams on Max, with Seasons 1-3 available now. The anthology format ensures mostly new stories each time, but recurring threads like Belinda’s journey provide continuity.
Critics praise the show’s evolving tone: Season 1’s pandemic-era isolation, Season 2’s sexual politics, Season 3’s spiritual quests. Season 4 appears poised to dissect European elitism amid stunning visuals.
HBO execs, including Casey Bloys, have hailed White’s vision, confirming France early to build anticipation.
With the trailer amassing millions of views in hours, “The White Lotus” mania shows no signs of slowing. Belinda’s triumphant return as a guest — flipping the power dynamic — has fans declaring it the most exciting twist yet.
Stay tuned for casting announcements and plot teases as production ramps up.
The cast also features returning possibilities and fresh faces, ensuring another ensemble packed with dysfunction and dark secrets.
One thing’s for sure: Check-in at your own risk.
