Labrinth Says He Pulled His Music as ‘Euphoria’ Taps Hans Zimmer for Season 3 Score

The switch signals a move from the show’s pop‑rooted sound toward a new, cinematic score.

Overview

  • In an Instagram Story on Saturday, Labrinth said he removed his Season 3 tracks after speaking with HBO and would not let people treat him “like shit.”
  • Rolling Stone and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed this week that Hans Zimmer holds sole composer credit and that Labrinth’s music does not appear in Season 3.
  • Creator Sam Levinson told Rolling Stone he does not know why Labrinth left and praised him for building the show’s sound, while Labrinth’s representatives declined to comment.
  • The new season debuts Sunday on HBO, with a first‑episode screening at Coachella the same day and Labrinth slated to perform at the festival.
  • Levinson described Zimmer’s work as a lush, Western‑inspired score for a story set five years later, marking a turn from the pop‑rooted palette that earned Labrinth an Emmy and a later Grammy nomination.
