The musician has been the show's lead composer for its first two seasons.
nordic.ign.comHere’s the latest on Labrinth and Euphoria season 3 based on the most recent reporting.
- Labrinth reportedly announced he is stepping away from Euphoria and may be reducing his involvement with the show and possibly the industry for now. This has led to questions about whether his signature soundtrack will appear in season 3.[3][4][9]

Illustration of the situation:
- Season 3 release: April 12, 2026 on HBO.
- Musical leadership: shifted from Labrinth to Hans Zimmer for the new season.
- Labrinth’s stance: publicly distancing himself from the project and the broader industry, citing treatment and creative control concerns.
