Hans Zimmer joins ‘Euphoria' season 3 as composer alongside Labrinth
Zimmer will work alongside returning composer Labrinth, whose sound has defined the show's haunting and emotional tone in its first two seasons.
The news was announced on social media Wednesday, with Zimmer expressing excitement about the collaboration. 'It's an honor to join this incredible team of storytellers led by the visionary Sam Levinson,' he said. 'Labrinth's music has shaped the show's identity, and I look forward to helping shape this new season through music.'
Labrinth, who composed standout tracks like 'All for Us' and 'I'm Tired,' also welcomed the opportunity to collaborate. 'So great to join Hans, one of my heroes in film score, and bring some new magic to this new season,' he said.
Zimmer's involvement adds prestige and anticipation, as the acclaimed composer is known for iconic film scores in Interstellar, The Lion King, Gladiator, Inception, and Dune. His cinematic influence has already been part of the show's DNA, according to creator Sam Levinson, who revealed that he wrote parts of the season while listening to Zimmer's scores from Interstellar and True Romance.
'Euphoria' Season 3 has yet to receive a release date, but the addition of Zimmer signals a bold creative evolution for the series. With both Zimmer and Labrinth shaping the sonic landscape, fans can expect a fresh yet emotionally grounded score that elevates the storytelling to new heights.

Lucas wows at Comic-Con
Comic-Con fans pulled out their lightsabers on Sunday to welcome Star Wars creator George Lucas to the prominent pop culture convention for the very first time. Attendees lined up for hours to grab a seat inside the 6,500-person capacity venue in San Diego, California to see the legendary filmmaker behind the Indiana Jones franchise speak at the event on its final day. Comic-Con, which draws some 130,000 attendees, has become an important platform for studios and their stars to showcase the latest film and television offerings, especially those with a genre fan base. "We've been waiting five decades for this!" said panel moderator Queen Latifah, who oversaw the discussion by Lucas and other filmmakers. Instead of discussing his film works, however, Lucas graced the convention to preview the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art - opening in Los Angeles in 2026 - which the director co-founded with his wife, businesswoman Mellody Hobson. "I've been collecting art since I was in college," Lucas, 81, told the crowd, adding that he has amassed tens of thousands of pieces in his collection. "I've been doing this for 50 years now, and then it occurred to me that what am I going to do with it all because I, I refuse to sell it. "I could never do that, it's just, it's not what I think art is - I think it's more about an emotional connection," the director said. In his description of the museum, Lucas said the institution will feature a blend of works. They include illustrations by Normal Rockwell, Jessie Willcox Smith and NC Wyeth; artworks by Frida Kahlo, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White and Robert Colescott; and pieces by cartoonists and artists like Winsor McCay, Frank Frazetta and Jack Kirby. "This is sort of a temple to the people's art," he said in summation. The museum, housed in a sleek, curved building, will also feature items from Lucas's films and other exclusive pieces. For the Star Wars mastermind, the museum aims to be a tribute to the importance of narrative art. "When you're born, the baseline is fear. And as you go through life, you're curious about things, but you're especially curious about things you don't understand, and therefore that's a threat to you. "And as a result, you make up stories to make it feel good," he continued. "Science fiction is a myth... but we've made it real because of science fiction books and art." 'A critical moment' Among the other members of the panel were Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro and production designer Doug Chiang, who shaped the aesthetic of the Star Wars universe for decades. "What's remarkable about George is that he leads from the heart, and this museum is him," Chiang said. Del Toro, who will release his latest film Frankenstein in November, said many of the museum's pieces will celebrate freedom of speech. "We are in a critical moment in which one of the things they like to disappear is the past, you know, and this is memorialising a popular, vociferous, expressive and eloquent moment in our visual past that belongs to all of us," Del Toro said. The fantasy filmmaker also described comics as a medium with "a lot of social conscience" and joked that comic artists "were the first one to punch a Nazi" in their works. "What a panel!" said attendee Jesse Goldwater, who travelled to San Diego from Los Angeles. "They are the embodiment of Comic-Con itself, without them Comic-Con wouldn't exist." Honouring Godzilla Meanwhile, Godzilla fans celebrated the Japanese monster's 70th anniversary at the pop culture convention Comic-Con. "I am a very big fan of Godzilla," said Angela Hill, a teacher who travelled from Arizona to take part in Comic-Con, which this year featured events and displays celebrating Godzilla. As the story of Godzilla goes, a prehistoric amphibious beast is awakened and mutated by nuclear bomb testing in the Pacific. It emerges from the sea and attacks Japan in a rage, symbolising the deadly power of nukes. "I think because he came from such a historic event - like, a lot of other monsters are just interesting creatures, but they don't hold the grief of a nation," Hill said, referring to the US nuclear bomb attacks against Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. At the pop culture watering hole in San Diego, people lined up to shoot pictures and video with an image of Godzilla, which was also the theme of a panel discussion on Friday that featured Shinji Higuchi, who co-directed a reboot in 2016 called Shin Godzilla. The franchise includes nearly 40 films and has spawned hundreds of animated productions about the monster as well as TV series and graphic work. 'Rooting for him' On Saturday the writers Ed Godziszewski and Steve Ryfle signed autographs of their book Godzilla: The First 70 Years, which sold out at Comic-Con. "It's a rich history," Ryfle told AFP. "This is the longest running feature film franchise in cinematic history that's focused on a single, continuous character. It's been around longer than James Bond." He said the key to its longevity is that Godzilla has evolved over time but stayed faithful to its origins. "Godzilla has been serious, it's been scary, it's been heroic, it's been funny. But at the same time this is a movie character that's rooted in something that's very real," Ryfle said. "And that's the trauma that Japan experienced, both during World War II, and also the trauma of the aftermath of World War II, the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki," he added. He said Honda, who directed the first Godzilla movie, was a veteran who used the film to send a message against war and in particular against nuclear weapons. Michelle Pena, a Godzilla fan who waited in line to get the autograph of the two writers, said part of the monster's charm is how it has changed over the years. "Good, bad, hero, anti-hero, you know. And I like that," she said. "He's not, like, lovable," she added. "He's a big dinosaur-looking thing, you know. He's scary. But, like, you really, really find yourself rooting for him." AFP

HBO renewed 'The Gilded Age' for season 4 ahead of finale
HBO has officially renewed The Gilded Age for a fourth season, even before the season 3 finale airs. The announcement, made weeks ahead of the August 10 finale, signals the network's confidence in the series' growing viewership and storyline momentum. Executives praised the show for its compelling portrayal of 1880s New York high society, with one calling it a "can't-miss entertainment experience". As viewers watched Bertha Russell claw her way up the social ladder this season, it became increasingly clear that her ambitions are far from fulfilled. Her calculated schemes and relentless pursuit of status have made her a standout character in an already lavish ensemble. Season 3 has seen Bertha target a new cultural achievement that would secure the Russells' place at the top of the elite. Meanwhile, George Russell has risked his fortune on an industrial gamble, positioning himself as a visionary, or a cautionary tale. Elsewhere, chaos reigns in the Brook household, where Agnes's disdain for Ada's newfound social standing continues to stir conflict. Peggy, finding herself entangled in both professional and personal dilemmas, has added emotional depth to the season. The show's recent plot twists, including one particularly tragic moment involving a major character, have stunned fans and kept online discussions lively. While producers have defended the decision, calling it necessary for character evolution, speculation is already swirling over how it will impact the dynamics moving forward. With the renewal, viewers can expect even more grandeur, betrayal and ambition. Casting additions this season included Phylicia Rashad and Merritt Wever, further elevating the series' prestige. Season 4 doesn't have a release date yet, but anticipation is building. HBO seems to be betting that Bertha Russell's reign over New York high society is only just beginning.

Major character exit changes course of The Gilded Age Season 3
In Season 3, Episode 6 of The Gilded Age, titled If You Want to Cook an Omelette, the story takes a dramatic turn with the unexpected death of John Adams, portrayed by Claybourne Elder. The character dies in a carriage accident shortly after an emotional farewell with Oscar van Rhijn, with whom he shared a covert romantic relationship. John's death occurs during a quiet walk in Central Park, moments after a scene where the two part ways on seemingly hopeful terms. The loss not only marks the end of their storyline but also serves as a catalyst for Oscar's character arc as the season moves forward. The episode also weaves in growing tension between George and Bertha Russell, social maneuvering among New York's elite, and shifting dynamics for characters like Peggy Scott and Marian Brook. Against this backdrop, the departure of John Adams adds emotional weight and narrative complexity. According to the show's creative team, the decision to write off the character was a deliberate one, aimed at deepening Oscar's storyline and exploring the consequences of his choices in a repressive social era. Though sudden, the development aligns with the series' ongoing themes of secrecy, class pressure, and societal expectation.
