Big news for The White Lotus fans: Laura Dern is officially joining Season four, stepping in after Helena Bonham Carter's unexpected exit early in production.
Instead of picking up Carter's old role, creator Mike White has crafted a brand-new character just for Dern, hinting at some fresh storylines ahead.
