Cristobal Tapia de Veer says he鈥檚 checking out of 鈥淭he White Lotus鈥� for good.
After three seasons, the Chilean-Canadian composer whose trademark sounds helped define the hit HBO series, says he won鈥檛 return.
He blames a growing rift with the show's creator and director Mike White.
The three-time Emmy winner says he's "relieved" to have closure after butting heads over the musical score during post-production on the Thailand-set third season.
The composer also says backlash from some viewers unhappy with his theme song for the latest season was overblown.
The season finale of "The White Lotus" airs Sunday on Crave.
