Labrinth Not Involved in ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 Music

British musician Labrinth will not be involved in composing the music for the upcoming third season of HBO's hit series 'Euphoria', despite having been previously announced to collaborate with legendary composer Hans Zimmer. The news was confirmed in March 2024 when Labrinth posted a cryptic social media message criticizing the production and his record label, effectively ending his involvement with the show he helped define sonically for its first two seasons. This development follows earlier reports that he and Zimmer were set to work together on the score. The separation marks a significant shift for the series, as Labrinth's distinctive electronic and atmospheric soundscapes were integral to 'Euphoria's' identity. His work on seasons one and two, including the Emmy-winning song 'All For Us' featuring Zendaya, earned critical acclaim and became synonymous with the show's raw, emotional tone. His planned collaboration with Hans Zimmer, known for scores like 'Dune' and 'The Lion King', had generated considerable excitement among fans anticipating an even more ambitious musical direction. The circumstances surrounding the split remain somewhat opaque, centered on Labrinth's March social media post. While not explicitly naming 'Euphoria' or HBO, the message expressed frustration with a project and label, stating he felt his contributions were not being valued appropriately. This public airing of grievances suggests a breakdown in negotiations or creative differences, leaving the production to seek a new composer or team to score the long-awaited third season. HBO has not issued an official statement regarding the music for Season 3. This departure introduces uncertainty into the production of 'Euphoria' Season 3, which has already faced significant delays due to scheduling conflicts and the Hollywood strikes. The search for a composer capable of matching Labrinth's unique contribution while establishing a new sonic path will be a major creative challenge for the show's team, led by creator Sam Levinson.
