Award-winning Dune composer Hans Zimmer is officially set to score Netflix series All the Sinners Bleed.
Currently in production in Atlanta, the Netflix series is based on S.A. Cosby‘s southern noir novel of the same name.
In the series, “Haunted by his devout mother’s untimely death, the first Black Sheriff in a small Bible Belt county must lead the hunt for a serial killer that has been preying on his Black community for years in the name of God.”
“All the Sinners Bleed lives in the tension between faith, violence, and redemption, the kind of moral complexity where music speaks most powerfully. Joe Robert Cole and S.A. Cosby have created a world that is haunting, intimate, and unflinchingly human. We’re proud to collaborate with Netflix, Higher Ground, and Amblin on a series unafraid to sit with discomfort and truth, allowing the score to breathe in moments of silence as much as in moments of chaos,” Zimmer said in a statement.
Showrunner/Writer/Executive Producer/Director Joe Robert Cole (Black Panther) added, “Hans crafts unforgettable themes and immersive scores that root you emotionally in the world of a story. Our series explores the lighter and darker halves of who we are as people and which side wins within us. I’m incredibly excited to have Hans and the Bleeding Fingers Music composer collective interpreting this core contention through music.”
