BMW has M. Mercedes has AMG. Cadillac’s answer is V-Series—and it’s always been the quiet menace of the luxury performance world. The original CTS-V was basically a Corvette in a tailored suit, and Cadillac hasn’t lost that energy since.

If you’re shopping for a new family sedan, you might be surprised to learn that the money set aside for a brand-new Toyota Camry can now buy something far more upscale on the used market. Thanks to rapid depreciation in the luxury segment, a refined midsize sedan with premium materials, sharp styling, and a far more exclusive badge has quietly slipped into mainstream pricing territory. For value-focused buyers, that shift changes the conversation entirely.

This portable power station deal from Jackery packs quite the punch in terms of versatility and features. The power station has a 3600W output (7200W surge) and a 3072W capacity. This means that the Jackery HomePower 3000 can power a household's essentials for about 15 hours. It can also keep a fridge running for 1 to 2 days if you need it. When it comes to the essentials, it can power: lights, the fridge, the fan, your beloved WiFi router, and more.

The station also comes with AC, USB-C, USB-A, and DC ports to keep all your devices juiced up and ready to go. The ports are 100W PD, which means they can deliver extra-fast charging for phones, tablets, and any other devices you want to keep charged up.

Starting the year off with a new laptop could be just the thing to help you achieve that long list of New Year's goals you have drafted in your notebook.

Technically my first true smartphone in the modern sense was a really rather awful Samsung Galaxy Ace, but before that it was my wife's iPod Touch that showed me that the whole full touchscreen thing could work, and finally loosened my grip on my Blackberry.

Neovim is already quite powerful out of the box, but getting the most out of it is less about piling on plugins and more about choosing the right ones. The plugins below are not popular because they are fashionable, but because they solve specific annoyances that show up after you have spent enough time inside the editor (usually longer than you planned).

An iPad today is a thinner, more powerful version of the iPad of 10 years ago. In the Android world, you have the fun novelty of "what will they think of next?" That, more than any other reason, is why I continue buying them instead of iPads. Let's take a moment to appreciate the diversity among Android tablets out there.

Finding a vehicle that blends luxury refinement with real-world efficiency can feel like a balancing act, but one used hybrid has quietly mastered both. For buyers who want the comfort and sophistication typically associated with premium sedans, and significant savings at the pump, this Toyota-based luxury hybrid delivers in a way few others do. With its smooth, composed ride and efficient powertrain, it proves that upscale comfort and fuel economy don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

In a world where everyone complains about everything that’s getting worse (often rightfully so) it can be easy to forget about the things that are getting better. These changes sneak up on you over time, but looking back at where we were five or ten years ago can make the benefits feel massive.

It's that most magical time of the year: The White Lotus casting season.

Season 4 of Mike White's hotel-set anthology series begins production in April of 2026, so casting announcements for the show's next set of ultra-rich guests and exasperated staffers have begun to roll in. Not only that, but the season's sure-to-be gorgeous setting has already been revealed.

There's still quite a bit of time before the season's release, so we'll have to wait a while for the next batch of White Lotus memes and discourse to obsess over. But until then, here's everything we know about the upcoming season.

Who is in The White Lotus Season 4?

So far, four cast members have been announced for The White Lotus Season 4. In December 2024, AJ Michalka and Alexander Ludwig became the first actors to join the season.

Michalka is one half of the musical duo Aly & AJ, and she has also starred in movies such as Super 8 and The Lovely Bones, as well as TV shows including ABC's The Goldbergs and its spin-off, Schooled. Ludwig rose to fame as Cato in The Hunger Games and has since starred in series like the History Channel's Vikings and MGM+'s Earth Abides.

On Jan. 16, Variety reported that Steve Coogan and Caleb Jonte Edwards had also checked into Season 4. Comedian Coogan is known for his work as Alan Partridge, as well as projects like The Trip films and Philomena, for which he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture (as a producer). A newcomer, Edwards has previously starred in one episode of the Australian crime drama Black Snow.

Prior seasons have featured returning characters such as Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge), Belinda (Natasha Rothwell), and Greg (Jon Gries). Will White bring back another character this season?

Where does The White Lotus Season 4 take place?

Get ready to brush up on your French, because The White Lotus is heading to the French Riviera. On Jan. 9, Variety reported that the season would shoot at the Château de La Messardière, a 19th-century palace-turned-hotel in Saint-Tropez. According to Variety, some scenes were also filmed at a Paris hotel.

Sources also told Variety that the Cannes Film Festival might figure into the storyline, setting up a more film-focused season. The plot of Season 4 is otherwise under wraps.

When is The White Lotus Season 4 coming out?

Variety reported that The White Lotus Season 4 will shoot from the end of April to the end of October, meaning a 2027 release date is likely.

For comparison, principal photography for Season 3 wrapped in Aug. 2024. The season premiered in Feb. 2025, making for a six-month turnaround. If Season 4 follows a similar pattern, we could be looking at a spring 2027 premiere.

The White Lotus is now streaming on HBO.

Rhea Seehorn has recently been awarded a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Drama Series, as well as a Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, for her portrayal of Carol Sturka in the Apple TV show Pluribus.
