“The White Lotus” Season 4 Cast Adds Helena Bonham Carter, Chris Messina, & Marissa Long
A trio of talented performers has booked their reservations at the White Lotus for season 4, rounding out another stellar cast for Mike White’s scorching satire. Helena Bonham Carter, Chris Messina, and Marissa Long are joining the previously announced cast of Steve Coogan, Caleb Jonte Edwards, Alexander Ludwig, and AJ Michalka.
Season 4 is heading to France, with stops in Paris and various spots along the French Riviera. This follows season 3’s Thailand location, where production took place at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui and the Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas. Filming also occurred in Bangkok, Phuket, and Koh Samui. Season 2 was set in Sicily and was primarily filmed at the Four Seasons San Domenico Palace in Taormina, with additional scenes shot in Palermo, Noto, and Cefalú. The inaugural season of White’s series was shot in Hawaii, at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea.
The White Lotus season 4’s plot is, of course, under wraps, so we don’t know anything about who any of the performers are playing. We can count on the guests to be escaping something even a luxury resort can’t cure. We can also tell you this will mark Marissa Long’s television debut. Bonham Carter hardly needs an introduction as a two-time Oscar nominee and nine-time Golden Globe nominee. From killer roles in everything from Fight Club to her iconic portrayal of Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter franchise to The King’s Speech, Sweeney Todd, Howard’s End, A Room With a View, and a slew of roles in Tim Burton’s films.
Messina has starred in films like Ben Affleck’s recent Air and his Oscar-winning Argo, Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey, and several TV series, including HBO’s Sharp Objects, as well as in his popular turn in The Mindy Project.
