The upcoming third season of the television drama *Euphoria* will not include music composed by pop artist Labrinth, according to reports from the US. This marks a shift from the previous two seasons, during which the London-based singer and producer created the show’s distinctive, moody score and contributed multiple original songs. Labrinth had initially been announced to return for the new season alongside acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer, as revealed by broadcaster HBO last year.
However, in March, Labrinth publicly distanced himself from the project through a strongly worded Instagram post addressing both HBO and Columbia Records, which releases the *Euphoria* soundtrack. His message included explicit language and ended with the statement: “I’m out. Thank you and good night.” The reasons behind this sudden withdrawal remain unclear. Nevertheless, major US entertainment outlets such as *Rolling Stone* and the *Hollywood Reporter* have since confirmed that Labrinth will not be involved in the third season, which is set to premiere this weekend. Attempts by BBC News to obtain comments from Labrinth’s representatives, Columbia Records, and HBO have yet to yield responses.
Before this departure, Labrinth was recognized for creating several notable tracks for *Euphoria*, including “Formula,” “Still Don’t Know My Name,” and the Grammy-nominated “Never Felt So Alone,” which features Billie Eilish. Despite stepping away from the show’s music this season, he remains scheduled to perform at the Coachella music festival in California over the upcoming weekend.
Sam Levinson, creator of *Euphoria*, recently spoke to *Rolling Stone* about the situation but admitted to having no clear answer regarding Labrinth’s departure. He praised Labrinth as “an incredible collaborator and someone who really built the foundation of the sound of *Euphoria*.” Levinson elaborated on bringing Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer into the project, describing the narrative of each character as distinct enough to warrant its own film-like score. He explained that the new season’s tone shifted away from youthful pop sounds to something resembling “an old-fashioned Hollywood Western score.” Zimmer himself acknowledged Labrinth’s influential role in shaping the show’s musical identity and expressed enthusiasm about contributing to the new season’s score.
*Euphoria* has served as a significant career springboard for stars like Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Jacob Elordi. The series returns to HBO after a four-year hiatus, with its characters now navigating the complexities of adulthood rather than teenage life. While highly anticipated, some critics have suggested that the latest season does not quite match the acclaim of its earlier installments
