Legendary film and TV composer Hans Zimmer is set to bring his signature musical flair to the third season of Euphoria, joining Labrinth, who scored the first two seasons of the hit HBO series.
In a statement, Zimmer shared his excitement on working with the English singer-songwriter and series creator Sam Levinson: “Together, they have crafted such a bold and moving series that has meant so much to audiences. Labrinth’s music has shaped the show’s identity and I’m looking forward to contributing to the ongoing story and helping shape this new season through music.”
Euphoria’s third season began production earlier this year after delays. It’s slated for release in 2026, with most of the main cast returning, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Colman Domingo, and Dominic Fike.
The new season will also introduce high-profile cast additions, including Spanish singer Rosalía, Sharon Stone, Marshawn Lynch, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Toby Wallace.
Aside from composing the score for the first and second seasons, Labrinth also collaborated with lead actress Zendaya on tracks like “All for Us” and “I’m Tired.”
Debuting in 2019, Euphoria follows a group of high school students as they navigate complex issues such as identity, trauma, addiction, love, and the impact of social media. Widely known for its raw storytelling and acclaimed performances, most notably Zendaya’s two-time Emmy-winning portrayal of Rue, the series also faced backlash for its graphic content and portrayal of teen drug use and sexuality.
Outside of Euphoria, Zimmer recently composed the score for F1, which had a soundtrack album that featured artists like BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ, Ed Sheeran, and Doja Cat. He’s also set to score the upcoming two-part Indian epic Ramayana and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three.
