The fourth season of "The White Lotus" is taking shape. More new cast members have now been announced for HBO's tragicomic anthology series, including Marvel TV star Chloe Bennet. The actress known from the TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will play a recurring character in "The White Lotus", as Deadline reports.

In addition to Bennet, four other new actors have been announced. The fourth season will also include Max Greenfield, Kumail Nanjiani, Charlie Hall and Jarrad Paul. The characters that the new actors will portray are being kept under wraps. However, like Bennet, they are expected to appear as recurring characters.

A number of other actors have already been announced, including internationally renowned film stars such as Helena Bonham Carter and Vincent Cassel. The cast also includes Steve Coogan, Sandra Bernhard, Caleb Jonte Edwards, Dylan Ennis, Corentin Fila, Ari Graynor and Marissa Long.

Little is yet known about the plot of the new "White Lotus" season. As in the previous seasons, some of the guests and employees of the eponymous hotel chain will once again take center stage. After the first three seasons were set in Hawaii, Sicily and Thailand respectively, the new protagonists of the fourth season are set to move to France. Paris and the French Riviera will serve as the backdrop.

Series creator Mike White is once again responsible as screenwriter and director. He also serves as executive producer alongside David Bernad and Mark Kamine. It has not yet been announced when season four of "The White Lotus" will start on HBO.

Star of the Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

With Chloe Bennet, an actress joins the "White Lotus" cast that Marvel fans should be particularly pleased about. In the series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", she played the hacker Skye, who initially becomes part of the titular agent squad rather involuntarily. However, as it later turns out, the mysterious Skye is much more than "just" a computer specialist. The series only plays a marginal role within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first season is still heavily influenced by the events of the cinematic adventures of Captain America and co. However, the subsequent seasons developed largely independently of the MCU films.

Nevertheless, the series had many fans, lasted a remarkable seven seasons and was Bennet's breakthrough. Even if the really big roles could still lie ahead of her. She was last seen in the action series "Interior Chinatown" and in the musical film "A Very Jonas Christmas Movie". A role in the globally acclaimed series "The White Lotus" could give her career a further boost. After all, the previous seasons of the highly acclaimed HBO hit have repeatedly provided plenty to talk about. And they won numerous awards. Among other things, "The White Lotus" scooped 16 Emmy Awards, two of which went to Jennifer Coolidge for Best Supporting Actress. Who knows, maybe the next Emmy in this category will go to Chloe Bennet.
