Heather Graham has arrived in Paris to film scenes for the upcoming fourth season of HBO's "The White Lotus." The actress was spotted in the French capital after previously working on the series in the South of France.
The latest installment of the anthology series is reportedly split between Paris and the Côte d'Azur, with a significant portion of the filming taking place across the French Riviera.
Graham, 56, was seen in a white midi dress adorned with a colorful bow print, paired with metallic sandals. She wore her blonde hair styled loosely and straight, complementing her look with glamorous makeup and a bold red lip.
Earlier this summer, Graham and co-star Laura Dern were seen filming in Nice. Dern, 59, was dressed in a leopard print jacket and a striped top as they headed to the airport to resume work on the production. Production for the series kicked off at the Cannes Film Festival last month.
The series' filming locations have included the Airelles Château de la Messardière, referred to as the White Lotus du Cap, and the Hôtel Martinez, serving as the White Lotus Cannes. The plot of the estimated £80 million series is said to revolve around the stars and producers of rival films nominated for the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or award. "The White Lotus" often satirizes the ultra-rich and famous, with filming in Cannes aligning with this theme.
"Cannes fits in with the opulence of previous seasons and Cannes can feel like satire so it's perfect for The White Lotus," a source connected with the show told The Mail on Sunday. "Cannes is a summer camp for narcissists with unlimited champagne, yachts, prostitutes, screaming publicists and celebrities with egos the size of houses."
Dern replaced Helena Bonham Carter in the cast after Bonham Carter departed the production due to creative concerns about her role. HBO released a statement confirming the departure, noting that the character created for Bonham Carter did not align with the actress once on set. The role was subsequently rethought, rewritten, and recast.
Other cast members announced for the upcoming season include Steve Coogan, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Max Minghella. French actor Vincent Cassel is set to play the manager of the White Lotus du Cap.
"The White Lotus" is an anthology series that features a new cast and setting each season. Previous seasons were set in Hawaii, exploring wealth disparity; Italy, focusing on sexual politics; and Thailand, centering on death and Eastern spirituality.
