Overview
- Labrinth said in a new GQ interview that he chose to leave before season three to show he was not pushed out and because the production no longer felt like a supportive “family.”
- He earlier posted and then deleted messages attacking his label and the show, later saying he had removed any of his music from the new season after speaking with HBO.
- He rejected turning his songs into weekly releases tied to episodes, writing that he would not reduce his work to online fodder.
- Hans Zimmer now holds the season-three composer credit, and none of Labrinth’s signature cues from earlier seasons appear in the current run.
- Creator Sam Levinson praised Labrinth as the show’s sonic foundation yet said he did not know why he left, signaling a deliberate break in sound as the series moves into its next chapter.
