‘White Lotus’ Composer Quits Show in Dramatic Fashion

The White Lotus composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer won’t be returning for future seasons of the hit HBO show, he revealed, as he described “a rock ‘n’ roll band story”-type breakup with show creator Mike White, who he compared to “the guitar player” who “doesn’t understand the singer at all.”

Tapia de Veer confirmed that he was “for sure” leaving the show in an interview with The New York Times—and admitted he didn’t tell White on purpose for maximum impact. The musician “told the team a few months ago that I was not coming back,” but wanted to tell White “just at the end for the shock.”
