Labrinth, the acclaimed composer known for his work on “Euphoria,” has announced his decision to remove his music from the show’s upcoming third season. This surprising move comes ahead of the season premiere scheduled for this Sunday and coincides with his upcoming performance at Coachella.
Labrinth’s Departure from “Euphoria”
In a candid message shared on Instagram, Labrinth expressed his frustrations with the music industry. He stated, “People will comfortably lie in this industry and still call themselves honest people. So no cap, I decided to remove whatever music I had in it.” His words indicate a significant personal and professional conflict regarding his role in the series.
Collaboration with HBO
Labrinth revealed that he had spoken with HBO and maintained a cordial relationship, stating, “As far as I know, we are cool.” However, he emphasized the importance of mutual respect in collaboration, saying, “When I work for someone, their vision is paramount to me, but I don’t let people treat me like shit.”
Shifts in “Euphoria” Season 3
In related discussions, Sam Levinson, the creator of “Euphoria,” noted the show’s evolution. He mentioned that the upcoming season jumps five years into the future, which has shifted the focus away from the teenage pop culture that characterized earlier seasons. Levinson stated his preference for a guiding score rather than the traditional inclusion of popular music tracks.

With Labrinth stepping back, composer Hans Zimmer will take the lead in scoring the new season. Zimmer’s involvement marks a new direction for the series, as he will have full composer credits when the season airs.
