She added, "I have a little thing happening there, so this was my first gift… It's giving Les Mis, but bling." Reportedly, HBO confirmed in November 2025 that season 4 will take place in France, with showrunner White noting he was "very, very early" in the casting process. Notably, Paytas has long been a fan of 'The White Lotus' and has expressed her desire to be part of the series in numerous online videos. In December 2022, she and her husband, Moses Hacmon, even dressed up as the show's characters, Tanya McQuoid-Hunt and Greg Hunt.

She captioned the post, "Checking in to the white lotus," which would be the ultimate form of manifestation if she actually joins the show. Talking about the casting, HBO has already confirmed the first two cast members for 'The White Lotus' Season 4. Alexander Ludwig, known for 'Vikings,' 'Heels,' and 'The Covenant,' and AJ Michalka, best known for 'The Goldbergs,' 'Super 8,' and voicing Catra in 'She-Ra: Princess of Power,' will play pivotal characters in the show.

While HBO has confirmed the casting of Ludwig and Michalka, the nature of their roles remains unknown. Production is expected to begin in the spring, with filming in France, but the exact location and main hotel are unconfirmed, and there's currently no marketing partnership with the Four Seasons. The show continues to be high-profile, earning numerous Emmy nominations for season 3, including Best Drama, multiple Best Supporting Actor slots for Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, and Sam Rockwell, and four Best Supporting Actress slots for Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, and Aimee Lou Wood.
