After being announced as part of the cast for the upcoming fourth season of The White Lotus, Helena Bonham Carter has departed the project, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
“With filming just underway on season four of The White Lotus, it had become apparent that the character which Mike White created for Helena Bonham Carter did not align once on set,” an HBO spokesperson said in a statement shared with THR. “The role has subsequently been rethought, is being rewritten and will be recast in the coming weeks. HBO, the producers and Mike White are saddened that they won’t get to work with her, but remain ardent fans and very much hope to work with the legendary actress on another project soon.”
Production on season four of the Mike White created series recently kicked off in France, and will notably be set during the Cannes Film Festival.
More to come.
