Namely, nine days after production of the fourth season of HBO's hit series began in France, the famous actress left the cast. "As filming of the fourth season was underway, it became clear that the character Mike White created for Helena Bonham Carter was not a fit on set. The role has since been reconsidered, is being rewritten, and will be recast in the coming weeks," an HBO spokesperson said. He added that HBO, the producers, and Mike White are saddened not to be able to work with her, but remain ardent fans and very much hope to collaborate with the legendary actress on another project soon. Carter (59), best known for her roles in films such as "Fight Club," "Corpse Bride," "Sweeney Todd," and "Harry Potter," has not yet commented on her departure. According to an official press release, the upcoming season of "The White Lotus" takes place at a luxury resort in France during the Cannes Film Festival. The cast includes Rosie Perez, Max Greenfield, Kumail Nanjiani, Chloe Bennet, Heather Graham, Steve Coogan, AJ Michalka, and Sandra Bernhard. The first season of the series was set in Hawaii, the second season was filmed in Sicily, and the third in Thailand.
