- White Lotus launches a $120 million Season 4, the most ambitious Cannes‑centered shoot to date.
- Vincent Cassel is cast as the hotel manager, adding French star power to the ensemble.
- Helena Bonham Carter exits the series, marking a major cast change for the new season.
- Prime Video streams the show in France, yet it remains far less a phenomenon there than in the U.S.
Why it matters: HBO (via Warner Bros) invests $120M in The White Lotus Season 4, gaining a marquee series, while Netflix's shares dropping 9‑10% loses viewers to such high‑budget events.
