Hans Zimmer Named Sole Composer for 'Euphoria' Season 3

HBO confirms Labrinth's departure, signaling a shift to a film-style, Western-leaning score.

Overview

  • HBO and multiple outlets report that Labrinth did not work on the new season and that Hans Zimmer holds the sole composer credit.
  • Series creator Sam Levinson says he does not know what led to the split and calls Labrinth an essential architect of the show's early sound.
  • Labrinth wrote in a March 12 social post that he was done with the industry and blasted Columbia Records and Euphoria before deleting the message.
  • Levinson describes Season 3's music as less reliant on pop needle drops and more like a classic Hollywood Western score crafted to guide each story.
  • Labrinth's music defined Seasons 1 and 2 and earned major accolades, so fans should expect a noticeable change as the series returns with a five-year time jump.
