Asked to explain what had happened with Labrinth and the show, Euphoria creator and writer Sam Levinson told Rolling Stone, external: “I don’t know.”
He added: “He [Labrinth] is an incredible collaborator and someone who really built the foundation of the sound of Euphoria.”
On adding Oscar-winner Zimmer into the mix, Levinson said: “On Euphoria, each character’s storyline is like its own film in a way.
“In general, I was less interested in needle drops and more interested in something that guided us through this world.
“They’re out of high school, so the pop roots of it have faded away. At the same time, because of how I imagined it visually, I wanted to lean into an old-fashioned Hollywood Western score.”
Zimmer, who has has produced scores for movies including Dune, The Lion King, Interstellar and True Romance, previously stated that Labrinth had “shaped the show’s identity”, and that he was “looking forward to contributing to the ongoing story and helping shape this new season through music”.
