Hans Zimmer joins Euphoria: Season 3's soundtrack is about to go cosmic

Hindustan Times3 days ago
In a twist that has electrified both film and TV fans, Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer has officially joined Euphoria Season 3 — marking a rare venture into episodic television for the musical mastermind behind Inception (2010), Gladiator (2000), and Interstellar (2014). He'll be teaming up with Labrinth, who returns after shaping the show's signature sonic landscape across its first two seasons. Zendaya in Euphoria and Hans Zimmer
'It's an honour to join this incredible team of storytellers led by the visionary Sam Levinson,' Zimmer said in a statement. 'Together, they have crafted such a bold and moving series that has meant so much to audiences. 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.'
Labrinth, the artist behind unforgettable tracks like I'm Tired and All for Us, is equally thrilled to be collaborating with Zimmer. 'Another chapter in the Euphoria universe! So great to join Hans, one of my heroes in film score, and bring some new magic to this new season. Love x,' he said.
Zimmer's involvement is especially fitting, given that Euphoria creator Sam Levinson has long cited him as an influence. 'It's a true honour to be working alongside Hans. I wrote this season to the score of Interstellar and True Romance. So he's been ingrained in the creative DNA since the beginning,' Levinson shared. 'I'm really proud of the work Labrinth and I have done in previous seasons and am excited for Hans to push us to new heights.'
With production finally underway and a star-studded cast — including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and newcomers like Sharon Stone and Rosalía — Euphoria Season 3 is aiming for a 2026 release. If the music is any clue, this next chapter will be its most emotionally resonant and cinematic yet.

Nicola Coughlan Set to Lead BAFTA-Winning ‘I Am Helen' with Joe Cole in New Season of Channel 4 Anthology Series

Nicola Coughlan is set to lead the upcoming season of Channel 4's critically acclaimed 'I Am' anthology series, the broadcaster has announced. The BAFTA-winning drama, created by Dominic Savage, will return for its fourth season with a new two-part story titled 'I Am Helen', co-starring Joe Cole. According to Variety, Coughlan, known for her roles in Bridgerton, Derry Girls, and Big Mood, joins the list of high-profile female leads who have previously headlined the 'I Am' series, including Kate Winslet, Letitia Wright, Samantha Morton, and Lesley Manville. What is 'I Am Helen' about? The story for I Am Helen has been developed in creative collaboration between Nicola Coughlan and Dominic Savage, who continues his signature approach of working closely with his lead actors to shape the narratives. 'It's an absolute honour to be part of telling the next I Am story alongside Dominic Savage, a singular talent and a storyteller deeply committed to exploring the breadth of the female experience,' said Coughlan. 'To follow in the footsteps of the brilliant women who've collaborated with him on this series feels truly surreal, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be embarking on this journey.' Joe Cole, known for Gangs of London and A Small Light, will star opposite Coughlan in the two-part installment. The exact plot and broadcast date are yet to be revealed, but I Am Helen will air on Channel 4. Why 'I Am Helen' could be the most powerful chapter yet Since its debut in 2019, 'I Am' has become Channel 4's most successful new 10 pm drama in six years, praised for its emotionally raw storytelling and focus on female-led narratives. Winslet's I Am Ruth won two BAFTAs in 2023, while earlier stories like I Am Nicola (Vicky McClure), I Am Kirsty (Samantha Morton), and I Am Maria (Lesley Manville) received critical acclaim. Krishnendu Majumdar and Richard Yee of Me+You Productions said, 'It's a genuine privilege to continue our creative relationship with Dominic Savage, one of the most brilliant and uniquely talented filmmakers today, and to be working with Nicola Coughlan, one of the standout performers of her generation.'

Italy honours Film Heritage Foundation Director Shivendra Singh Dungarpur with the prestigious Vittorio Boarini award

This prestigious award recognizes Dungarpur's extraordinary dedication to the cause of film preservation and restoration, and his pivotal role in building a movement to save film heritage across India and the subcontinent. Almost 10-15 years ago, when film restoration experts in India first began sounding the alarm that 75% of early Indian cinema had vanished due to neglect, decay, and indifference, the revelation was both staggering and sobering. The loss seemed irreversible. But this month, at Il Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna, Italy, one of the most tireless champions of India's cinematic legacy received a powerful global endorsement. National Award-winning filmmaker, archivist and Director of Film Heritage Foundation, Shivendra Singh Dungarpur , was conferred with the esteemed Vittorio Boarini Award at a special ceremony recently, during the Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival in Bologna, Italy by Gian Luca Farinelli, Director of the Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna. This prestigious award recognizes Dungarpur's extraordinary dedication to the cause of film preservation and restoration, and his pivotal role in building a movement to save film heritage across India and the subcontinent. Andrea Anastasio, director of the Italian Institute of Delhi says," The award is a very prestigious acknowledgement of Shivendra and Teesha's work. When Shivendra stated that 75% of early Indian cinema is lost due to neglect and absence of conservation, it was clear that unless someone started the process, future Indian generations would not have been able to know their heritage.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dementia and Memory Loss Has Been Linked To This Common Thing. Memory Health Learn More Undo Italy has honoured Shivendra Singh Dungarpur and Teesha Cherian of the Film Heritage Foundation. Italy, through Bologna's Cineteca di Bologna and the festival Il Cinema Ritrovato, has emerged as a key international partner in India's cinematic salvage mission.

Shivendra Singh Dungarpur states, "I am deeply honoured to be the recipient of the Vittorio Boarini Award which is a recognition of my work in film preservation under the aegis of Film Heritage Foundation that I founded in 2014. It has been a very challenging undertaking to work towards saving endangered film heritage in our part of the world with limited resources and support over a decade. But I am proud to say that we have built a movement for film preservation not just in India, but in neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka and Nepal and achieved many milestones in an incredibly short span of time from training film archivists to doing world-class restorations of Indian films to bringing classic cinema back to the big screen and preserving every bit of film heritage we can find. It is wonderful to have this work appreciated and acknowledged and it only reaffirms our commitment to the cause as there is so much more to do.' Shivendra Singh Dungarpur Andrea Anastasio, director of Italian Institute of New Delhi says, "This is enough to understand the value and the relevance of the work the Film Heritage Institute does. After the award ceremony, we could see the restored copy of Aranyer Din Ratri, by Satyajit Ray at the Arlecchino Theatre, a great hall with a fantastic screen . It was a house full screening and it was really amazing to see the crowd of young viewers attending the screening. That's what Bologna is also relevant a year, for ten days the city is flooded with film buffs from all over the world in occasion of 'Il Cinema Ritrovato' (literally The Re-Found Cinema). It's a festival spread all over Bologna, where restored old films from all over the world are screened in the new splendour of 4K in the city's theatre, while every night a giant screening outdoor happens at Piazza Maggiore, exactly where the restored copy of Sholay was screened last 27th June." Dungarpur credits the Cineteca di Bologna as the inspiration behind the establishment of the Film Heritage Foundation, noting its integral role in the foundation's journey over the past fifteen years. Further elaborating on his personal connection to the Cineteca di Bologna and the Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival he adds, "I first attended the Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival conducted by Cineteca di Bologna in 2010 and it changed my life. I saw the best of world cinema beautifully restored, and entered a whole new world where people were dedicated to saving films for posterity and bringing them back to life again. I went as a filmmaker and cinephile and emerged wearing another hat of a film archivist and have been going back to Bologna every year since then. " The presentation of the Vittorio Boarini Award to Shivendra Singh Dungarpur highlights his significant impact on safeguarding cinematic history and underscores the global importance of film preservation efforts. The Vittorio Boarini Award, instituted in 2022 by the Cinetecadi Bologna as part of its annual Il Cinema Ritrovato festival, is an international recognition honoring individuals or institutions who have made exceptional contributions to the preservation, restoration, promotion or dissemination of cinema as cultural heritage. It is named in tribute to Vittorio Boarini (1938–2021), the visionary founder and first director of the Cineteca di Bologna, whose efforts were instrumental in transforming it into one of the world's foremost film archives. The award celebrates a lifelong commitment to cinema preservation, international advocacy for film heritage, leadership in archive building and programming and work that bridges archival and public access to classic and rare films.
