HBO’s The White Lotus is coming back and the upcoming fourth season has already stirred excitement with two major casting announcements: Steve Coogan and Caleb Jonte Edwards are officially joining the ensemble. Set in the sun-drenched French Riviera, this season promises the same mix of sharp humor, tension and social commentary that has made the series a standout.

The next chapter of Mike White’s anthology series will take place largely in Saint-Tropez, with filming centered at the luxurious Château de la Messardière. The French setting provides the perfect backdrop for the series’ exploration of wealth, power and human relationships, setting the stage for dramatic interactions among guests and hotel staff.

Steve Coogan Brings Experience and Wit

Steve Coogan’s addition to the cast is a major highlight. Known for his iconic role as Alan Partridge and his performances in Philomena and The Trip, Coogan combines sharp comedic timing with subtle emotional depth. While the show has not yet revealed his specific character, Coogan’s presence will bring a dynamic performance that could range from high-end guest to unpredictable figure within the hotel. His versatility makes him a strong addition to a series that thrives on complex characters and layered storytelling.

Caleb Jonte Edwards Joins the Ensemble

Caleb Jonte Edwards, known for his work on the Australian drama Black Snow, is also joining the cast. As an emerging talent, Edwards adds fresh energy to the ensemble. His role has not been disclosed and we do not yet know the logline for the upcoming season.

The French Riviera promises more than just scenic views. The Château de la Messardière and other local locations provide an opulent stage for the unfolding drama, from luxurious poolside gatherings to tense encounters behind closed doors. The combination of seasoned actors, emerging talent and a glamorous location sets the scene for a compelling season that explores social dynamics, privilege, and personal conflict.
