Labrinth Declares 'F**k Euphoria' After Working On Season 3
Labrinth appears to be taking a step back from the entertainment industry, after sharing an explicit message aimed at the award-winning US drama Euphoria.
The British singer-songwriter composed the score for Sam Levinson’s hit series, blending genres to help define the show’s distinctive style.
Last year, it was announced that Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer would be joining the show to score its long-awaited third season in collaboration with Labrinth.
Zimmer said at the time: “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.”
In his own statement, Labrinth echoed this sentiment, enthusing that it was “so great to join Hans, one of my heroes in film score, and bring some new magic to this new season”.
However, with only a month to go until the new episodes arrive, Labrinth has very clearly let it be known that he’s no longer on board with Euphoria – or the industry as a whole.
Posting on his public Instagram account in an all-caps message, he said: “I’m done with this industry. Fuck Columbia. Double fuck Euphoria.
“I’m out. Thank you and good night.”
So far, it’s unclear what’s led Labrinth to call out his record label, Columbia, or the show.
HuffPost UK has contacted Labrinth’s team for comment.
Meanwhile, Euphoria creator Sam Levinson previously said he was “really proud of the work Labrinth and I have done in previous seasons”, adding that he was “excited for Hans to push us to new heights” in the coming episodes.
Euphoria’s third season has been long-delayed, but is set to launch next month after being off our screens for over four years due to a multitude of reasons, including creative disagreements, the writers’ strike and the unexpected death of cast member Angus Cloud.
Since originally airing back in 2019, the show has helped to launch the careers of cast members including Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney.
The new season will feature a forward time jump, following most of the original cast five years into the future as Nate and Cassie are engaged and living in the suburbs, while Rue is living in Mexico trying to pay off her drug debts.
