The White Lotus season 4 is already buzzing with speculation, and fans are eagerly asking one major question: will Greg return?
Jon Gries, who plays the morally ambiguous Greg Hunt, became a central figure in the HBO series’ first two seasons. While many assumed his story had reached its conclusion, recent comments from Gries suggest that the door isn’t entirely closed.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gries admitted he never expected to be in the show’s second or third season. He explained that creator Mike White keeps everyone on their toes and that the series’ unpredictable nature means no character is ever truly written off.
Greg’s story could continue
Greg’s arc appeared to end after he walked away from Tanya’s tragic storyline with a fortune. He paid off spa manager Belinda with $5 million and resumed his life in Thailand after his dark dealings in Italy. Still, Gries believes there might be more to explore in The White Lotus season 4.
He said that trying to predict what Mike White will do next is impossible. While he would love to come back, Gries admitted he doesn’t know whether Greg’s chapter is truly closed. That uncertainty has fueled theories among fans who believe loose ends still need tying — especially when it comes to Tanya’s assistant, Portia.
Portia was last seen reeling from Tanya’s death. While her return hasn’t been confirmed, many believe she might hold the key to exposing Greg’s secrets. However, as Gries pointed out, her presence in the high-end resorts that define the series might not make economic sense — unless Mike White finds a creative way to bring her back.
Season 4 could bring more twists
The White Lotus season 4 has yet to reveal its full cast or location, but early reports hint at another exotic, opulent setting. Fans are already speculating that the upcoming installment may circle back to past characters, and Greg is high on that list. After all, his presence has been a consistent thread across multiple seasons.
With creator Mike White’s love of twists, nothing is ever truly off the table. Gries made it clear that if invited, he would return without hesitation. His unpredictable nature as Greg keeps fans intrigued — and his potential involvement in The White Lotus season 4 only adds to the suspense.
As audiences await official casting announcements, one thing is certain: The White Lotus season 4 promises more drama, deeper betrayals, and, possibly, the return of a man who has already caused plenty of chaos.
