Overview
- HBO said Wednesday, April 15, that production is underway and the official synopsis sets the story during the Cannes Film Festival.
- Filming is based in Cannes, St. Tropez and Monaco with additional shoots in Paris, though the plot stays on the Côte d’Azur.
- For the first time, two properties anchor the season: Airelles Château de la Messardière as the White Lotus du Cap and the Hôtel Martinez as the White Lotus Cannes.
- The ensemble features Helena Bonham Carter, Vincent Cassel, Steve Coogan, Kumail Nanjiani and others, with roles yet to be disclosed.
- HBO has not confirmed filming during official festival events or announced a premiere date, and a production source expects brief cast red‑carpet appearances.
