The White Lotus season 3 has finally come to an end and fans are wasting no time thinking about The White Lotus season 4. 

The conclusion to show creator Mike White’s Thailand-set drama aired on Sunday 6 April. At the start of the new season, audiences saw chaos playing out as an unknown shooter fired rounds across a tranquil resort.

The proceeding episodes had fans trying their best to figure out who was behind the trigger. Some suggested it could even be the island’s many monkeys. 

The finale answered that question while proposing a few more. It also left fans a little divided on the fate of some characters.

In addition, it’s left many pondering where the show could go next. We already know that The White Lotus season 4 is indeed on the way – but where might it be set? 

Well, hot off season 3’s finale, White has shared some interesting thoughts about his next destination…

Fans will know that each season is set in a different incarnation of the fictional White Lotus resort.

Season one took audiences to the balmy beaches of Hawaii. Season 2 sent them on a steamy city-break to Sicily. Meanwhile, The White Lotus season 3 transported us on an reflective (and ultimately quite traumatic) trip to Thailand. 

White has previously said he isn’t a fan of cold weather so it’s maybe unlikely that we’ll see The White Lotus season 4 go somewhere chilly. That said, he has shared some insight as to where the show might be heading next. 

“Chances are somewhere in Europe”

“For the fourth season, I want to get a little bit out of the crashing waves of rocks vernacular but there’s always more room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels,” explained White, as reported by Deadline

The same outlet previously gave us the news that HBO was believed to have been scouting potential hotel locations in Europe. However, by the sounds of it, it looks like a concrete decision on season 4’s location has yet to be made.

“We’re going on some locations scouting in the next couple of weeks, so we’ll know soon,” explained HBO’s drama chief Francesca Orsi earlier this year. “I can’t really say where we’re going to land but chances are somewhere in Europe.”
