April 28 (UPI) -- Laura Dern is joining the cast of The White Lotus Season 4.

Deadline reported Tuesday that Dern will replace Helena Bonham Carter in the new season following Carter's exit from the HBO series last week.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Dern's casting.

Dern will play a new character rather than taking over Carter's role, according to Variety.

News broke Friday that Carter was leaving White Lotus after it became apparent her character "did not align once on set."
