HBO has confirmed that music stars AJ Michalka and Alexander Ludwig will join the cast of the upcoming fourth season of its acclaimed series, The White Lotus. The announcement was made on Friday, marking the first confirmed cast members for the new installment set in France.
This new season follows previous locations, including Thailand in Season 3, Italy in Season 2, and Hawaii in Season 1. While specific plot details and character descriptions remain undisclosed, HBO has indicated that the storyline will revolve around a new group of guests and employees at a French franchise of the White Lotus resort over the course of one week. Production is anticipated to commence in spring 2024, according to information from Deadline.
AJ Michalka, known for her role in the hit television series The Goldbergs and its spinoff, Schooled, has also made a mark in the film industry with her performance in the 2011 film Super 8. Additionally, she has lent her voice to the character Catra in the animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Alongside her sister, she forms the musical duo Aly and AJ, who released their latest album, Silver Deliverer, earlier this year. The pair first gained fame through the Disney Channel classic film Cow Belles.
Alexander Ludwig, a Canadian actor and country singer, has established a diverse career in both television and film. He gained fame with his role alongside Dwayne Johnson in the 2009 film Race to Witch Mountain and has starred in several notable series, including Vikings and Heels. Ludwig also appeared in films such as Lone Survivor and Grown Ups 2. He released his album Highway 99 but has not produced new music since then.
The previous season of The White Lotus featured a star-studded cast that included notable actors such as Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Scott Glenn, and Lisa from Blackpink, among others. The anticipation for Season 4 is already building as fans await further details about the new setting and storyline.
As this critically acclaimed series continues to evolve, the addition of Michalka and Ludwig suggests exciting developments ahead, promising to capture audiences once again with its unique blend of drama and social commentary.
