Overview

• Deadline’s report that the next season will take place in France has been echoed by travel and culture outlets, though HBO has not confirmed and Four Seasons has not commented.
• The series has filmed at Four Seasons properties in Hawaii, Sicily and Thailand, with additional scenes at non–Four Seasons venues such as Rosewood Phuket and Anantara Mai Khao.
• Coverage coalesces around a shortlist of French Four Seasons sites—Grand‑Hôtel du Cap‑Ferrat on the Riviera, Hotel George V in Paris, and Hotel Megève in the Alps—with Cap‑Ferrat widely viewed as the leading candidate.
• Analysts cite the show’s coastal visual motif and Mike White’s stated dislike of cold as factors favoring the Riviera, even as his interest in shifting the series’ aesthetic keeps urban or alpine options in play.
• Fans’ scrutiny of blocked dates at the Megève property is flagged as inconclusive, with reporters noting the hotel routinely closes between peak seasons.
