Labrinth Says He’s Done With the Industry Ahead of Euphoria Season 3
Labrinth, the producer and composer behind Euphoria’s unmistakable score, has publicly blasted the music industry and the show’s orbit, suggesting he’s finished with the business as Euphoria Season 3 gears up. The remarks arrive amid news that the upcoming season will feature a collaboration with Hans Zimmer, who has joined Labrinth to help score the new episodes.
In a cryptic Instagram post on March 13, Labrinth wrote that he’s “done with this industry,” naming Columbia and even referencing Euphoria with a blunt “double f**k Euphoria. I’m out. Thank you and good night.” Neither the singer-producer nor the involved parties—Columbia or HBO—have elaborated on the motivation behind the outburst or provided further commentary.
Fans have largely responded in support, with many expressing a willingness to boycott Season 3 if Labrinth isn’t involved in the music. Reddit threads echoed the sentiment that Labrinth is central to Euphoria’s identity and that removing him would diminish the series’ appeal. Some viewers blamed tensions on-set or behind-the-scenes disputes for the rift, speculating about wage disputes, credits, or creative disagreements.
The controversy adds another layer to Season 3’s buildup, which has already been complicated by delays and rumors of clashes between creator Sam Levinson and members of the cast. With the release window closing in, speculation has ranged from personal disagreements to questions about licensing and financial arrangements.
As the situation unfolds, fans and industry watchers alike are awaiting any statement from Labrinth, Columbia, or HBO about the future of the show’s music. In the meantime, coverage continues on the behind-the-scenes factors shaping Season 3, including potential shifts in who will steer the soundtrack and how that could influence the series’ iconic sound.
