So far, the cast of The White Lotus season 4 hasn’t been confirmed. In fact, we’re not even finished with season 3 yet, with episode 4 having only just aired. 

That said, if Kidman was to join the next ensemble cast, it wouldn’t be the first time she’s swapped movies for TV. 

Despite starring in some of the biggest movies of recent years, Kidman has also spent time appearing in some of the most talked about TV series. 

These have seen her star alongside Hugh Grant in 2020’s relationship crime story The Undoing, Zoe Saldana and Morgan Freeman in 2023’s military drama Special Ops: Lioness. Most recently, she joined Live Schreiber and Dakota Fanning in 2024’s The Perfect Couple.

With so many miniseries under her belt already, starring in White’s next season wouldn’t be out of character for the Batman Forever actress.

White’s series is known for its starry ensemble cast. Each season sees a group of wealthy families vacationing at the fictional luxury resort known featured in the show’s title.

Season one featured the likes of Sydney Sweeney, Alexandra Daddario, Murray Bartlett and Steve Zahn, while season two featured Aubrey Plaza, Michael Imperioli, Theo James and Leo Woodall. 

Jennifer Coolidge starred in both seasons but is absent from season 3. 

White’s new show features another ensemble, this time consisting of Patrick Schwarzenegger, Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Parkey Posey and Aimee Lou Wood among others.
