Kumail Nanjiani and New Girl’s Max Greenfield are among the latest additions to the fourth season of The White Lotus.

HBO’s hit anthology series is set in different branches of a chain of luxury hotels and the next season is due to start shooting later this year. This time around, it will be set in France, after previous seasons were in Hawaii, Sicily and Thailand.

Each season generally introduces a brand new cast, with only a few holdovers, and it has already been confirmed that Steve Coogan, Helena Bonham Carter, Sandra Bernhard and Vincent Cassel are among the new additions.

Now, Deadline have confirmed that comedian Nanjiani, known for The Big Sick and Silicon Valley, as well as New Girl and The Neighborhood star Greenfield are joining the cast.

Also joining are Chloe Bennet (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Charlie Hall (Sweethearts) and Jarrad Paul (Chad).

NME awarded season three of The White Lotus four stars, writing: “A little sweetness definitely helps to balance out the prevailing saltiness. As the season progresses, the sneaky intricacy of White’s plotting begins to yield surreal, shocking and genuinely hilarious moments. No one can write a scene where one character pretends not to remember another quite as exquisitely as White. Tanya may be gone, but this transgressive soap opera remains unique and completely jaw-dropping.”

It was also named as one of NME’s best television shows of 2025.

After that season was released, reports emerged of a rift between its stars Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins, although both actors pushed back against the rumours, with Goggins saying they “care about each other very deeply”.

The show has been a critical and commercial success throughout its run, the third season receiving 23 Emmy nominations and the final episode drawing in 6.2million viewers across HBO and streaming platform Max.

Someone who’s already said they won’t be returning, however, is composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, who told the New York Times last year about his relationship with White, “We already had our last fight for ever, I think. He was just saying no to anything.”

White, for his part, called Tapia de Veer’s decision to speak to the newspaper a “bitch move” in an interview with Howard Stern.  “We never really even fought,” he claimed. “He says we feuded. I don’t think I ever had a fight with him – except for maybe some emails.”
