Despite not meeting Emmy predictions this year, the popular series forges ahead with ambitions for a fourth installment.
Setting Predictions: Which Part in the Country?
Every previous edition of the series has been filmed at a luxury hotel chain location, limiting options to three French sites: the capital, Megève, or the Côte d'Azur.
Some speculate the southern coast may be too similar to the Italian setting of season two, pointing toward the city or the mountain resort as probable choices.
Yet, filming in Paris presents challenges such as overexposure, predictable locations, and possible weather issues. Likewise, a snowy setting could bring practical and safety risks.
Theme Expectations: What Will Drive the Story?
Past installments have explored subjects like wealth, class, desire, religion, and death. Showrunner Mike White has suggested that season four may focus on celebrity culture, possibly set against a film festival.
Nevertheless, audiences can anticipate familiar ingredients: privileged travelers, uncomfortable encounters, and shocking behavior.
Cast: Who Might Appear?
The series has a history of reintroducing personas across seasons. Audience beloved figures like Jennifer Coolidge and Belinda have before reappeared, and Jon Gries has featured in all three seasons.
Rumors indicate that characters from earlier storylines—such as a film producer or a famous actress—could make a comeback in the new setting.
Additionally, new roles will likely include local hotel staff, wealthy families with secrets, and perhaps a surprise celebrity appearance.
Likelihood: How Realistic Are These Theories?
Extremely few confirmed information has been revealed, so the majority of these speculations remain pure guesswork. Considering that the new season may not premiere until 2027, fans have plenty of time to theorize—and move on—before something definite is confirmed.
