White Lotus Star Defends New Theme Music Amid Backlash

Fans of The White Lotus were in for a surprise this season with the introduction of a new theme melody that deviates from the familiar tune of the past two seasons. The change has sparked some mixed reactions, with some feeling unsettled by the departure from the iconic music they had grown accustomed to.

Actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, known for his role in the show, addressed the backlash in an interview with Radio Times. He acknowledged that it might be difficult for fans to embrace the fresh music, given their attachment to the previous themes. Despite the criticism, Schwarzenegger stood by the series, emphasizing the composer’s intention to explore new sounds this time around.

Describing the new theme as “daunting and darker and deeper,” the actor praised the bold artistic choices made for the third season. Created by Mike White, the latest season of the popular show is currently airing on HBO Max, with three episodes already released. Viewers can expect a new episode every Monday on HBO.
