Wealthy guests are set for a deadly game of cat and mouse in the latest season of The White Lotus. This year's cast, which includes Helena Bonham Carter and Steve Coogan, will converge on a luxurious hilltop chateau in Saint-Tropez as filming begins.
For those who can afford it, the €21,000-a-night (approximately $23,500 USD) Château de la Messardière is now part of the Airelles Collection of five-star hotels. The stunning 19th-century estate boasts an infinity pool overlooking the Mediterranean and a spa with steam bath and sauna.
As the wealthy elite converge on this picturesque French Riviera retreat, tensions are bound to run high. The production team will spend six months filming, with some reports suggesting that the series will feature Paris, the Cannes film festival, and even a few high-stakes parties at the estate.
The White Lotus creator Mike White has reportedly spent countless hours researching the history of this stunning chateau, which was once commissioned by the wealthy cognac trader Gabriel Dupuy d'Angeac as a wedding gift to his daughter Louise. The motto "victor et inermis" - or victorious and unarmed - is said to be emblazoned on the family crest.
While no official release date has been confirmed, insiders suggest that viewers won't have to wait too long for their next fix of White Lotus drama. With an all-star cast and a luxurious setting, this latest season promises to be a wild ride, full of twists, turns, and possibly even a few fatal attacks under the parasol palms.

. but also, i'm curious to see what kind of drama unfolds with all these rich people together 
. and that motto "victor et inermis" is so interesting... what does it even mean? anyway, can't wait for the new season to come out! 
idk how they'd keep their minds from getting too inflated with all that opulence but tbh i'm kinda curious about this season. Helena Bonham Carter as a guest? game on! steve coogan's comedic timing better hold up under all those drama-filled scenes lol 
what's gonna be the most scandalous part of the series? 
I mean, €21k a night is insane, but hey, when you're rich and famous, you can pay to be surrounded by parasol palms and an infinity pool that'll make your head spin 
. And with Helena Bonham Carter and Steve Coogan on board, I'm expecting some seriously over-the-top drama 
. Poor Gabriel Dupuy d'Angeac's daughter Louise, though – she must've been living the high life back in the 19th century 
. Can't wait to see what kind of cat-and-mouse game these guests get themselves into 
.
and helena bonham carter too! she's always so elegant and quirky. anyway, the set of the château sounds so stunning, infinity pool and all that 
. I'm pretty sure the only thing more dramatic than the cast is the price tag 
.
it's crazy that they're paying €21k a night for a room 
I'm not surprised there will be drama with all those rich folks in one place 
interesting how much research Mike White put into the history of the chateau 
i mean, who wouldn't want to watch Helena Bonham Carter and Steve Coogan get all up in each other's business on a luxurious hilltop chateau? 
the €21k-a-night price tag is like, totally worth it just for the drama that's gonna go down 
can't wait to see what kind of trouble the cast gets into over those 6 months of filming 
can't wait to see Helena Bonham Carter and Steve Coogan go head to head at that insane €21k-a-night chateau in Saint-Tropez it's like they're playing a real-life game of cat and mouse with each other's egos and millions of dollars on the line 
gotta imagine the drama and catty comments flying around when those wealthy guests are stuck in this luxurious bubble together 
, I need a vacation just thinking about it! And Paris? Cannes? High-stakes parties? Sounds like the perfect set for another season of drama and betrayal... I'm guessing we'll see some serious claws out this time around 
.
and I'm already feeling the luxury vibes 
it's gonna be an interesting season, especially with Helena Bonham Carter on board 
. Bring on the parasol palms and high-stakes parties - I'm ready for it! 
cant wait for it to drop!
those wealthy guests are bound to stir up some drama. I love how Mike White researched the history of the chateau, it's like he's throwing all these interesting tidbits into the mix. And can we please talk about Helena Bonham Carter and Steve Coogan?! they're like the ultimate power couple
