What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBig news for fans of expensive vacations going wrong: Deadline reports The White Lotus is filming in Cannes, and season four is in its final stretch.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Hôtel Martinez has been transformed to carry the new resort logo, and I love this show so much.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChip, you have not seen it.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI've seen the logo, and the logo is stunning.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe shoot began six months ago on the Riviera. A real hotel now wears a fictional resort's name, and the fiction is winning.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Hollywood Reporter also says Tony Gilroy credits Andor for making Behemoth possible, with Pedro Pascal, who learned the cello for it.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe cello! Gilroy said it was like putting himself into a relationship.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy pitch is The White Lotus: Checkout, ninety minutes of one guest waiting for a receipt.
