‘White Lotus’ Season 3 Snubbed at Emmys; Season 4 Confirmed for France

Lead: HBO’s anthology series The White Lotus walked away from the 2025 Emmy Awards with only one Creative Arts win and zero major nominations, even as star Parker Posey revealed Season 4 will film in the south of France today, September 15, 2025.

Nut Graf: After leading the ceremony with 23 Primetime Emmy nominations, The White Lotus managed only a technical Emmy for Best Original Main Title Theme Music, underscoring a surprising evening for the critically acclaimed drama. Meanwhile, cast members on the Emmys red carpet confirmed that creator Mike White is already scouting locations in southern France for the next installment.

Emmy Night Disappointments

• White Lotus entered the awards with 23 nominations but failed to secure wins in any major categories, including Outstanding Drama Series and all supporting acting slots.
• The only trophy came at the Creative Arts Emmys, where composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer won Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music.

Season 4 Heads to France

• On the Emmys red carpet, veteran cast member Parker Posey announced that Mike White is “in the south of France now, so that’s where Season 4’s gonna be”.
• Fellow cast member Jason Isaacs confirmed the European setting but joked uncertainty over which characters will return.

Looking Ahead

The White Lotus remains a ratings juggernaut, having collected 16 Emmys across its first three seasons. Season 4’s French locale continues the anthology’s tradition of exotic resort backdrops, following Maui, Sicily, and Thailand. Production timelines and cast details are expected once White finalizes scripts.
