Where Will ‘White Lotus' Go Next? Vegas Oddsmakers Have Some Picks
Could Cairo be the setting of "The White Lotus" season 4? Odds are in its favor, according to an analysis from VegasInsider.com
Fans of 'The White Lotus' checked out of Koh Sumi, Thailand earlier this month as season 3 wrapped up with a dramatic finale. Now, the question that looms large among the show's audience: 'Where in the world will 'The White Lotus' go next?'
Consistently set against a backdrop of stunning locales, the HBO hit has sparked a new wave of "set-jetting," inspiring motivating viewers to book real-life trips to places they see on the TV screen.
Thailand felt the 'White Lotus' effect almost immediately. After the show announced its third season would film there, Expedia reported a major surge in flight searches: Chiang Mai up 65% year over year, Phuket up 45%, and Koh Samui up 30%. Since the season's premiere on February 16, Hotels.com has seen a 65% spike in searches for The Four Seasons Koh Samui, the luxurious resort that played host to the show's jet-setting elite.
Previous seasons have been set on Maui in Hawaii and Sicily, Italy. Now, Vegas oddsmakers are revealing their top picks for where season 4 of The White Lotus will be filmed.
The Sphinx by the Pyramids of Giza in the desert of Egypt.
To compile the odds, analysts at VegasInsider.com, a sports betting site, said that given the series has consistently been set at a Four Seasons location, they only considered destinations that have the luxury hotel brand's presence.
Could the cast be venturing off to explore the 5,000 year-old pyramids of Cairo next? The odds are good, according to VegasInsider.com, which placed Cairo, Egypt at the top of its list for the most likely 'White Lotus' location for season four.
Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza is located on the banks of the Nile River and is close to the Egyptian Museum, the Cairo Opera House and the Great Pyramids. Egypt is also home to Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano, a waterfront resort set in the 'Egyptian Riviera' along the Red Sea and Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, which is located between a private stretch of Red Sea shoreline and the Sahara Desert.
Perhaps giving more credibility to this pick is the fact that White has said he'd like the show to hit every continent.
However, Europe could be destined for another 'White Lotus' season. HBO executive Francesca Orsi told Deadline back in February that the show would begin scouting locations in coming weeks, saying: 'We're going on some locations scouting in the next couple of weeks, so we'll know soon. I can't really say where we're going to land but chances are somewhere in Europe.'

The chances of a cold-weather or winter destination for 'The White Lotus' appear pretty slim, according to the analysis, which has Hampshire, United Kingdom and Norway lower on its list.
Here's the list of locations that VegasInsider.com is predicting could play host to season 4 of 'The White Lotus.'
No. 1: Cairo, Egypt (odds -150; implied probability 60%)
No. 2: The French Riviera (odds +122; implied probability 45%)
No. 3: Costa Rica (odds +150; implied probability 40%)
No. 4: Mauritius (odds +400; implied probability 20%)

No. 8: Mallorca, Spain (odds +900; implied probability 10%)
No. 9: The Bahamas (odds +1900; implied probability 5%)

(NewsNation) — 2025 has been a huge year for TV, especially with hit shows like 'Severance' and 'The White Lotus' releasing new series. But some fans have faced bad news as their favorites have been canceled. Shows like 'The Sex Lives of College Girls' and 'S.W.A.T.' had their last seasons recently, as both weren't renewed this year. CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said, 'We have to be fiscally responsible,' when talking about shows that have been canceled. Todd Chrisley shares first social media message since Trump pardon 'It's not easy to end shows, and we had a lot of options this year,' Reisenbach said, according to Deadline. 'The schedule is really full, and so we always have to look at all of our shows, look at the aggregate information, the creative of where they are in their life cycle, what the finances look like, what the ratings are, and then we make those tough decisions.' Here are some of the TV shows that have been canceled this year. Despite 'Suits' doing extremely well, its spin-off, 'Suits LA,' has been canceled after only one season, according to multiple sources. The NBC drama 'Found' has also been canceled after two seasons. NBC has also canceled two sitcoms: 'Lopez vs. Lopez' and 'Night Court.' CBS has canceled 'The Equalizer' after five seasons, as well as 'Poppa's House' and 'The Summit.' Amazon Prime also canceled two 'Citadel' spinoffs, after one season of each series. Instead, the storylines of each spinoff will be put into the second season of 'Citadel.' CBS also canceled several popular TV shows, including 'FBI: International' and 'FBI: Most Wanted.' Then, FX canceled 'The Old Man' after two seasons, reportedly due to a delayed production schedule. Other canceled TV shows include: 'Laid' 'The Wheel of Time' 'On Call' 'The Irrational' 'Acapulco' 'Frasier' 'The Cube' 'Wipeout' reboot Brad Pitt hasn't cut off kids, set for more attacks ahead of F1 movie: Exclusive Some shows aren't being canceled but are ending in 2025, including 'The Sandman,' 'The Summer I Turned Pretty,' 'Andor' and 'Harlem.'

A Minecraft Movie is coming exclusively to HBO Max on June 20
Don't throw all your popcorn at the screen, but A Minecraft Movie begins streaming exclusively on HBO Max (which used to be Max, which used to be HBO Max) on June 20. The big studio adaptation of the best-selling video game of all time was something of a surprise hit for those unfamiliar with the game's mammoth audience. Movie adaptations of video games can be really hit or miss. The Super Mario Bros. Movie set the box office record for the highest-grossing video game movie of all time and was a fun, if safe, movie . On the other end of that spectrum is Borderlands , which was a massive letdown and a box-office failure. With that spotty track record, we were pleasantly surprised when A Minecraft Movie turned out to be… pretty good, actually. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. The movie stars Jack Black as Steve, the original player character from the video game, who ends up transported into the voxel world of Minecraft, while Jason Momoa stars as an egomaniacal former gaming superstar. The movie will also debut on the HBO linear cable channel on Saturday, June 21, at 8PM ET.

Air safety is no joke — real lessons from Nathan Fielder's ‘The Rehearsal'
It's fair to say that 'The Rehearsal' is not the aviation safety documentary I thought we were making. I have consulted on or participated in scores of aviation disaster and safety videos, all with a pretty consistent documentary style that I'm sure readers are familiar with. That's the type of documentary I assumed HBO was making when I was first approached about the show. In retrospect, it's clear that I should have asked the producers more questions in the beginning, to understand better what the show was about. (And for sure I will in the future.) But in this case, I'm glad that I didn't. It might have made me less willing to participate, and that would have been a missed opportunity to pursue a fresh approach to a longstanding safety problem. Aircraft cockpit communication, the impetus for this season's show, is what initially hooked me on participating — specifically, the authority gradient that made co-pilots reluctant to speak up when they believed their captains were making a mistake, even when those mistakes could prove to be catastrophic. While the Federal Aviation Administration and the industry had taken numerous steps to combat this problem, lecturing co-pilots to speak more assertively and captains to listen more attentively, the National Transportation Safety Board determined more than a decade ago that these actions were just not enough. Its investigation of a 2009 cargo flight found that a contributing factor in the crash was the co-pilot's failure to assert herself when she recognized that a go-around was necessary because of the unstabilized nature of the approach. The captain failed to go-around and the aircraft crashed. The lecture-based, assertiveness training she had received was just not enough, according to the NTSB's findings. The NTSB concluded that 'role-playing exercises are essential for effective assertiveness training because such exercises provide flight crews with opportunities for targeted practice of specific behaviors and feedback that a lecture-based presentation format lacks.' It therefore recommended — as referenced in Episode 1 of 'The Rehearsal' — that the FAA require role-playing to 'teach first officers to assertively voice their concerns and teach captains to develop a leadership style that supports first officer assertiveness.' The FAA never implemented the NTSB's recommendation. I believe the recommendation continues to have merit and its implementation could have made a difference in at least one recent crash where communication issues in the cockpit may have contributed to the accident. But even if Congress and the FAA ultimately take no formal action — which would be a missed opportunity, in my opinion — the show on its own has raised awareness among pilots and those who train pilots. The reactions I have received from aviation professionals working on cockpit communication issues have been overwhelmingly positive. They all know that while much has been done on this issue over the decades, the hierarchical nature of the captain–copilot relationship is a difficult one to overcome, especially in emergency situations where speaking up can look a lot like questioning or undermining the captain's authority. New approaches are needed, and many of the professionals I've spoken with are looking forward to using the show as a catalyst for improvements, especially with the younger demographic that the show resonates with. I, myself, plan to incorporate the show into my aviation safety course that I co-teach at Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in New York City. Most of my students are future pilots and air traffic controllers, and getting the conversation started early on these issues is important. So, Although I was surprised (to say the least) by the actual episodes of 'The Rehearsal' when they aired, the conversation sparked by Nathan Fielder's show on two critical safety topics — communications in the cockpit and the ability of pilots to raise mental health issues without fear of losing their licenses — is beyond my wildest safety dreams. I'm hopeful from these reactions that the show's message will resonate in the halls of Congress, the FAA and aviation entities large and small. And I am hopeful that it will spur a fresh look at these issues and lead to lasting changes. John Goglia, a renowned aviation safety consultant, is a former member of the National Transportation Safety Board and president of the Professional Aviation Maintenance Association.
