The excitement for The White Lotus season 3 was palpable as the show premiered its latest chapter.
Set in a luxurious resort in Thailand, the new season promises all the drama and dark humor viewers have come to expect.
However, within minutes of the premiere, fans noticed a major shift that had them expressing their displeasure online—an updated theme song.
The Iconic Theme Song Gets a Makeover
In the first two seasons, fans were familiar with the club-inspired theme song, composed by Cristobal Tapia de Veer.
It became a signature of the show, setting the tone for the chaotic and often absurd events that followed.
But in season 3, the composer mixed things up, opting for a fresh take on the song to fit the Thai setting.
While this may have been a well-intentioned attempt to match the new location, it left many viewers feeling disappointed.
Online Outrage Over the Change
The reaction from fans was swift and vocal.
Social media erupted with comments expressing devastation over the new theme.
One fan even tweeted: “Why would they do that?!” Many others shared similar sentiments, saying things like, “New White Lotus theme song doesn’t hit the same as the previous ones,” and “They had no right to change the theme song.”
One fan went as far as to write, “The White Lotus changing its theme song ruined my entire weekend.”
Clearly, the change struck a nerve with long-time viewers who had grown attached to the familiar tune.
New Season, New Characters
Despite the uproar over the theme song, the rest of the season seems to be drawing attention as well.
The show’s third season introduces new characters, including the wealthy Ratliff family.
The patriarch, Timothy (played by Jason Isaacs), has brought his family to Thailand for an unusual reason—his daughter Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) is interviewing a Buddhist monk for her college thesis.
The family dynamic is set to provide plenty of drama, especially with Timothy’s wife, Victoria (Parker Posey), and their sons, Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola), joining the mix.
Where to Watch The White Lotus
The White Lotus season 3 is currently airing on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK.
Fans can catch up on episodes via streaming services like NOW, as they follow the high-society antics and unraveling stories at the luxurious Thai resort.
Despite the complaints about the theme song, it seems the new season is still keeping audiences hooked with its usual blend of opulence, tension, and unexpected twists.
