Red Carpets to Riviera Chaos

Last year, a rumour sent the internet into a full-blown frenzy — Deepika Padukone was reportedly headed to the sun-soaked chaos of ‘The White Lotus’ season three. Within weeks, the buzz fizzled out. But plot twist! The speculation is back, louder than ever, as season four gears up. Word is that Deepika has signed on for the next chapter of the wickedly sharp black comedy, this time set against the chic backdrop of France. Joining her, reportedly, are Alexander Ludwig, Steve Coogan, and Helena Bonham Carter, all said to be locked in for the new season.

The ‘White Lotus’ is a sharp satirical drama set at a luxury resort, tracing the tangled lives of wealthy guests and hotel staff while peeling back layers of privilege and power. The ensemble cast across seasons has featured Jennifer Coolidge, Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Aubrey Plaza, Theo James, Meghann Fahy, and F Murray Abraham, among others.
