Overview
- Production for Season 4 began in April on the French Riviera and Helena Bonham Carter left the show days after filming started.
- HBO said the character created for Bonham Carter “did not align once on set,” and the role was rethought and recast by creator Mike White.
- Mike White quickly tapped Laura Dern as the replacement and photos published Wednesday show Dern filming red-carpet scenes with co-stars in Cannes.
- White confirmed two Survivor 50 contestants would cameo and paparazzi images show Charlie Davis shooting a scene in a black suit while Kamilla Karthigesu has not yet been publicly spotted.
- Filming is active across Cannes, St. Tropez, Monaco and Paris using real Riviera hotels and a large ensemble cast, with trades reporting a long shoot that points to a likely 2027 release window.
