Labrinth Distances Himself from ‘Euphoria’ in Explosive Instagram Post

Labrinth, the acclaimed composer behind the haunting score of HBO’s Euphoria, sent shockwaves through social media late last night with a strongly worded Instagram post. The British musician appeared to distance himself from the show and the music industry as a whole, expressing deep frustration.

“I’m done with this industry,” Labrinth wrote in a statement posted to his Instagram, followed by a series of expletives directed at his record label, Columbia Records, and the hit HBO series. The post read, “Fuck Columbia,” directly addressing his current record label.

The statement continued with a blunt declaration: “Double Fuck Euphoria. I’m out. Thank you and good night.” The post was shared without any additional caption, leaving fans and industry insiders speculating about the reasons behind his outburst.

Seeking Clarification

Representatives for Labrinth and HBO have been contacted for further clarification regarding the meaning and context of the post. As of now, no official statement has been released.

A Pivotal Role in ‘Euphoria’s’ Success

Labrinth has been instrumental in shaping the sonic landscape of Euphoria since its debut season. His work on the show earned him an Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics Emmy for the song “All for Us.” He was recently seen at the Balenciaga 2026 Winter show in Paris, where Euphoria creator Sam Levinson previewed footage from the highly anticipated third season.

Last year, HBO announced Labrinth’s return to score the third season, alongside the renowned Hans Zimmer. Euphoria season three is slated to premiere on April 12th. The upcoming season will feature a time jump, moving the characters beyond high school, and is expected to conclude the series’ overarching narrative.

Returning and New Faces

The third season will see the return of Zendaya as Rue Bennett, alongside Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Eric Dane, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Dominic Fike, and Maude Apatow. Colman Domingo will reprise his guest role, while Martha Kelly and Chloe Cherry have been promoted to series regulars. New additions to the cast include Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, Kadeem Hardison, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Toby Wallace.

This unexpected turn of events raises questions about the future of Labrinth’s involvement with Euphoria and the potential impact on the show’s upcoming season. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
