HBO has released plenty of shows from various genres over the last few years, but few have become as popular as The White Lotus. The critically acclaimed HBO drama show didn’t even need a full season under its belt to accrue some big-time stars — Season 1 features performances from Sydney Sweeney, Alexandra Daddario, Murray Bartlett, and Steve Zahn. The White Lotus has become so popular that HBO has since released two new seasons of the show following the conclusion of Season 1, and a fourth is already confirmed to be on the way. Writer/director/producer Mike White has confirmed that he is shooting The White Lotus in France right now, and while an official release date has not been set, all signs point to it airing before the end of 2027.
U.S. President Donald Trump has been investing in the stock market while leading the country. He has a vast portfolio of hotels, golf courses, and luxury residential properties bearing his name, valued at more than $6 billion.
