Where will White Lotus Season 4 Take Place? Fans debate Max shows next site
As season three of Max's explosively popular White Lotus concluded Sunday, people are already eager for more. Fans fell in love with the glittering beauty of past seasons locations Maui, Sicily and Thailand, so where will guests of the coveted fictional resort land this time? Although no official announcements have been made, here's where fans are speculating.
Here are four possibilities.
Whether it's the luxurious capital of Vienna or the vast, mountainous beauty of Salzburg, Austria offers breathtaking beauty paired with high society allure; typical of White Lotus locations.
But don't expect to see guests hitting the ski slopes of the alps, according to producer David Bernad, White Lotus writer and director Mike White hates the cold.
Athens boasts ancient wonders of civilization while also being a hub for legendary nightlife. The show often includes elements of mythology into storylines, and Greece is home to the most famous tales in history. In perfect White Lotus fashion, the city also hosts sophisticated resorts where guests can luxuriate in the impossibly blue water of the Mediterranean, making it the ideal backdrop for mystery and drama.
Since the first three seasons of White Lotus were filmed on location at Four Seasons Hotels, fans theorize the next spot for guests will be the opulent Four Seasons in Sultanahmet nestled in the heart of historic Istanbul. Rife with cultural significance and enthralling sites like the Hagia Sophia, this bi-continental city is a promising destination for these ever-so secretive guests.
The White Lotus resorts wouldn't be complete without a relaxing climate, ostentatious wealth and a couple of yachts; all three of which can be found at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Located on a peninsula in the French Riviera (nicknamed the Peninsula of billionaires), Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is the epitome of grandeur. It only makes sense that guests of the exclusive resort would find themselves here.

5 best new movies to stream this weekend on Max, Netflix, Disney Plus, and more
Another weekend means a fresh wave of new movies across the best streaming services just arrived, including some of this year's biggest blockbusters. But figuring out what to watch with so much to choose from can quickly become a headache. That's why we regularly comb through all the new movies on streaming to highlight the best of the bunch. The biggest newcomer this week is easily "A Minecraft Movie" on Max, though my top pick would have to be 'Final Destination Bloodlines' arriving on premium video-on-demand streaming platforms. On Netflix, you can check out 'Kpop Demon Hunters," a fun and vibrant new animated adventure from the studio behind the "Spider-Verse" films. Over on Disney Plus, there's a new live-action musical version of "Frozen" with new songs from the original movie's songwriters. Lastly, Paramount Plus has a millennia-spanning love story starring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun called "Love Me." So if you're looking for what to watch this weekend, your search is over. Here are our picks for the best new movies on streaming to add to your watchlist. Working as a prequel and a sequel, the long-awaited sixth "Final Destination" film reinvigorates the franchise by taking its iconic premise to a new level: If death hunts down those who cheat fate, what happens when those survivors have children? While this generational angle adds a fun new layer, "Bloodlines" still delivers on all the inventive gore and over-the-top kills that fans have come to expect. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Like every movie in the series, "Bloodlines" kicks off with a jaw-dropping premonition where a character foresees a deadly catastrophe and manages to save a few would-be victims. The twist this time is that a survivor's grandchild, college student Stefani Reyes (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), finds herself in the crosshairs when death comes to collect his dues. The time gap works in the film's favor, making the familiar formula of death stalking survivors feel fresh again for one of the best entries in the series since "Final Destination 2." Buy or rent now on Amazon or Apple Parents everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief: you don't have to brave the Chicken Jockey frenzy in theaters to see "A Minecraft Movie" anymore, now that it's landed on Max. Whether you find this year's biggest blockbuster delightfully entertaining or an exhausting barrage of meme fodder depends on your taste, but it's hard to deny the cultural impact it's had. Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Hansen star as a scrappy group of misfits who stumble through a portal into the pixelated world of Minecraft. To survive their blocky new world, their imagination will be put to the test as they team up with Steve (Jack Black), a seasoned crafter who's been stuck there for decades. Director Jared Hess ("Napoleon Dynamite") brings his signature offbeat humor, while Jack Black once again proves he's a comedic powerhouse capable of winning over a whole new generation of kids. Stream it now on Max What happens when a chart-topping music genre crashes headfirst into an animated realm crawling with soul-sucking demons? That's what we'll find out in "KPop Demon Hunters," Netflix's latest animated adventure. It's from the same animation studio behind the "Spider-Verse" films and "The Mitchells vs. the Machines," so if nothing else, this promises to be a stunning feast for the eyes. "KPop Demon Hunters" follows superstars Rumi (voiced by Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), who split their time between selling out stadiums and (what else?) slaying demons. But they're faced with their biggest challenge yet when a rival boy band turns out to be a group of demons in disguise. With the souls of their fans at stake, not to mention their reputation, the idols gear up to slay the day. Watch it now on Netflix Anyone counting down the days until "Wicked: For Good" will be excited to learn that one of Disney's most popular movies of all time, "Frozen," is getting the "Hamilton" treatment on Disney Plus. The musical tells the same story as the animated film, only in a live stage format. You'd be forgiven for thinking this is the Broadway version based on the title, but it's actually a taping of the show's West End production at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London, which ran from 2021 to 2024. The show features 12 new songs written exclusively for the musical by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who co-wrote the songs for both "Frozen" and "Frozen 2." And of course, there's still all the original earworms from the movie, only this time with "Pretty Woman: The Musical" star Samantha Barks belting out "Let It Go" instead of Idina Menzel. Watch it now on Disney Plus For an offbeat romantic drama with a heavy helping of sci-fi, look no further than Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun's "Love Me." Set in a future where humanity has gone extinct, it follows an unexpected duo: a weather buoy (voiced by Stewart) that becomes self-aware after a brief encounter with a passing satellite (Yeun). Yearning for a sense of self, the buoy calls itself 'Me' and dubs the satellite 'Iam.' Me persuades Iam to study the remnants of the internet with her to better understand what it means to be human. Though Iam doesn't realize it, Me begins to construct new identities for them both based on social media posts from a once-living couple. As their bond evolves into something that resembles love, the cracks in their borrowed identities as well as their growing connection begin to show. Watch it now on Paramount Plus

'White Lotus' star Jason Isaacs reflected on managing money 'immaturely.' A financial planner breaks down how to avoid doing the same.
For a movie star, Jason Isaacs says his financial situation isn't what you'd expect. "People will think I have huge stockpiles of money," the "White Lotus" star told Vulture in an interview published on June 16. "But sadly, what I've done rather immaturely is expand my outgoings to match my incomings and pretty much spent everything I've earned over the years." The English actor has more than 168 credits on IMDB dating back to 1988, including iconic roles such as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter film adaptations and Col. William Tavington in the 2000 hit "The Patriot." But while Isaacs has long enjoyed a high-powered and lucrative career — Business Insider previously reported he, and every other top-billed actor on the show, earned $40,000 per episode of "White Lotus" — his admission is indicative of a common financial misstep that plagues high-earners: lifestyle creep. "It's really common to have lifestyle creep, and it's basically this phenomenon: When you earn more money, you spend more money," Robert Persichitte, a certified financial planner, told Business Insider. "People will see extra money in their bank account, and then they'll spend it, and then they get used to it, and it gets kind of locked into your lifestyle — and it becomes really, really difficult to get out of it." Representatives for Isaacs did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. 'Do you want to be rich, or do you want to be wealthy?' Lifestyle creep is most insidious when you begin spending your extra income on big-ticket items like expensive cars, fancy homes, or recurring subscription expenses like gym memberships, Persichitte said. That's not to say more modest luxuries like spa services or a trendy wardrobe can't add up, but he said those types of transactions are easier to stop splurging on if your financial situation changes. "It's a very common scenario: You get somebody who has their first high-paying job, and they get excited, they go out and spend it, and then about six months later, they realize they hate that high-paying job," Persichitte said. "If you bought a new car or bought a new house, that is a very, very difficult decision to walk back." Isaacs is far from the only celebrity to experience a problem with lifestyle creep. Al Pacino, in his 2024 autobiography, said he went from a $50 million fortune to "broke" because he didn't control his spending. Other stars — from Michael Jackson to Mike Tyson — have also racked up tremendous amounts of debt despite having multimillion-dollar incomes. While it may be tempting to adopt a more lavish lifestyle or emulate your favorite celebrity's spending habits if you receive a promotion or financial windfall, Persichitte cautions against it. Persichitte recalled a 2008 Time interview with Flo Rida, in which the rapper said mogul Rick Ross advised that, in order to make more money, Flo Rida should spend "with the confidence of someone who knows he's going to make a lot more." "I wouldn't recommend that," Persichitte said. "And the logic to me is: Do you want to be rich, or do you want to be wealthy?" The difference is that a rich person's financial situation hinges on their next paycheck, which means a job loss or emergency or an impending prison sentence — which was likely in the future for Isaacs' character in "White Lotus" — could make it all crumble. In comparison, Persichitte said, a wealthy person has long-term stability because they've prioritized sound investments that allow them more control over their finances. The easiest way to avoid lifestyle creep is to have a plan for your money so it's not just sitting in your bank account, Persichitte said. Whether that be a 401(k) or locking some portion of your funds away in a CD account, nearly anything is better than having your liquid cash available in your checking account — but "the more invisible, the better," he added. "The further away you can keep that money from the checking account, the less likely you are going to have that lifestyle creep," Persichitte said. "If your net pay doesn't go up, you don't feel rich, and you don't feel the need to spend." Speaking to Vulture, Isaacs said that he has turned down multiple roles over the years that would have offered him a more substantial nest egg to lean back on. While he said he doesn't regret the moves "careerwise or artistically," he acknowledged it is a financial sore spot for him. "There's a number of things I could have done over the years that would've made me rich," Isaacs said. "And now that I'm toward the autumn of my career, I think maybe I'm an idiot and I should have done some of those things and just banked it, because other people do."

Jason Isaacs spills all the tea, a reappraisal of Britney Spears, and what to read this weekend: June 20, 2025
Every Friday, Gold Derby rounds up some of the best stories of the week from our friends across the web. Maybe you missed these, maybe you were too busy to read them at the time, maybe you bookmarked them and forgot, but hopefully you'll have some over the weekend to check them out. Happy reading! Jason Isaacs Might Say Too Much Jason Isaacs is what the kids call a "messy bitch" (complimentary), and we love him for it. The White Lotus star was the king of teasing out hot gossip during the show's press tour, and he has continued that unabated in a Q&A with Vulture. In between a discussion about his career and his feelings about Mel Gibson and J.K. Rowling, the actor offers up nuggets like this about a certain actor to keep you guessing: "Was the worst bully ever and a global icon. Did all the old tricks of doing a completely different performance off-camera than on. Yeah, it sucked. I'd never seen anything like it. Before, I would've licked the ground that this person walked on." More from GoldDerby 'Arcane,' returning from a 3-year hiatus, leads early Best Animated Program Emmy odds The 10 most Lynchian items at the David Lynch auction - and how much they sold for Best Drama Writing Emmy predictions: 'The Pitt' takes a risk by submitting 3 episodes How Britney Spears Ushered in a New Era of Pop The Ringer has an excerpt from staff writer Nora Princiotti's new book Hit Girls: Britney, Taylor, Beyoncé, and the Women Who Built Pop's Shiniest Decade (out now) focused on the pop queen of the aughts, Britney Spears, and how she redefined pop music. The Mortician Tried to Have Its Bombshell Moment. There's Just One Problem. Joshua Rofé's HBO docuseries The Mortician about the illegal cremation practices of the Lamb Funeral Home concluded on Sunday with a Jinx-like ending: David Sconce, the subject and convicted felon who pleaded guilty to 21 counts of mishandling remains in 1989, seemingly confesses to three murders. But it's never specified which three, and Sconce gets interrupted when the cinematographer announces they have to reload. Slate's Sam Adams was unimpressed by the twist ending, calling it "more of a damp squib than a bombshell." Barbra Streisand Still Has Her Voice Barbra Streisand has a wide-ranging conversation with The New Yorker's David Remick, in which the icon doubles down on her revelation in her memoir that she does not remember if she slept with Warren Beatty. "I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can't remember if we actually had penetration," she says. "I swear to God, I can't. There are certain things I block out." Other things discussed: her new duet with Bob Dylan, if she'd do a film version of Gypsy, and why she hated performing.
