In the ongoing theater of prestige television, Laura Dern steps into a role once meant for Helena Bonham Carter, joining The White Lotus as it prepares to unfurl its fourth season against the gilded backdrop of Cannes. The casting is both a practical resolution to behind-the-scenes turbulence and a reaffirmation of the show's enduring ability to attract serious artists to its particular study of glamour and moral unraveling. Each new name attached to this anthology becomes a small act of faith — that the story, however complicated its making, is still worth telling.
