At a 2023 conference, Mike said he has big plans for the series and wants to explore a different continent with each season. On that occasion, he revealed he’d love to film in Australia, as it checks all the boxes for production.
The third season was shot in Thailand, so Australia could be the next destination for The White Lotus. However, this is not confirmed, as Africa and South America are also being considered as filming locations.
What is The White Lotus about?
The White Lotus is a dark comedy-drama series created by Mike White for HBO. The story follows guests and staff at the fictional White Lotus resort chain, whose lives are shaped by various psychosocial dysfunctions.
Over the course of a week, the lives of the vacationers slowly unfold as they enjoy their time in paradise. As the days go by, darker elements emerge from these seemingly perfect travelers, the optimistic hotel workers, and the idyllic setting itself.
Do you need to watch The White Lotus seasons in order?
No. You don’t need to watch previous seasons of The White Lotus to understand the next one. While the approach is the same, each season has a different storyline. Also, even though some actors return to the series, each season features a different cast.
