Laura Dern has joined the cast of "The White Lotus" Season 4, stepping in after Helena Bonham Carter's sudden departure from the HBO series. The casting change happened quickly, with Dern confirmed just days after Carter's exit.

The show has already begun filming in France for its fourth season. Dern, known for "Big Little Lies" and "Jurassic Park," will reunite with series creator Mike White, though details about her character remain under wraps.

The White Lotus has been a major success for HBO, with each season featuring a new cast and location. The anthology series follows wealthy tourists and resort staff, usually ending in disaster. Previous seasons were set in Hawaii, Sicily, and Thailand.

Carter's reason for leaving hasn't been revealed. The British actress, famous for roles in "Harry Potter" and "The Crown," was announced as part of the cast earlier this year.

Why this matters

The White Lotus is HBO's biggest hit comedy series, and major cast changes can shift the show's direction. Fans who loved the first three seasons will want to know what to expect from the new cast.

What to watch

Season 4 will continue filming in France with Dern in the cast. HBO hasn't announced a release date yet.
