Sandra Bernhard is one of the guests headed to The White Lotus for its fourth season. So far, details about her character are being kept under wraps, but the King of Comedy star had a few things to say about her approach to her character. Collider's Perri Nemiroff caught up with Bernhard on the red carpet before the Actor Awards, where her recent projects Severance and Marty Supreme are both up for awards.

Bernhard was mum on her character or any plot details of the upcoming season, but she addressed the challenges that the role will provide for her as an actor:

Well, I think any time you're, like, thrown into, you know, a really classic, you know, setting, that's established itself, you're going to find a new way into a character, to not make it cliché. That's what I always try to do as a performer, and the actors really peel away the layers of artifice.

Season 4 of The White Lotus is expected to begin production later this year.

In addition to Bernhard, the new season will also star Helena Bonham Carter (Fight Club), Steve Coogan (I'm Alan Partridge), Caleb Jonte Edwards (Black Snow), Alexander Ludwig (The Hunger Games), Chris Messina (The Mindy Project), AJ Michalka (The Goldbergs), and newcomer Marissa Long. Previous seasons have taken place in Hawaii, Italy, and Thailand; this season moves the action to France, and will be filmed in a 19th-century palace-turned-luxury hotel, the Château de La Messardière, in Saint-Tropez on the Côte d’Azur. It will also shoot in Paris and on the French Riviera; filming may coincide with the world-famous Cannes Film Festival. Series creator and writer Mike White will return to write and direct every episode of the series.

Bernhard is up for a trophy at the Actor Awards tonight: with the rest of her Marty Supreme co-stars, including Timothée Chalamet, Odessa A'zion, and Gwyneth Paltrow, she's part of the contending ensemble for the Actor Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Chalamet and A'zion have also been nominated for individual Actor Awards. Her Severance co-star Britt Lower is also up for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series.

Season 4 of The White Lotus is expected to begin production later this year; no release date has yet been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
