What led Labrinth to announce he is "done" with Euphoria?

Labrinth's announcement stems from frustrations with the series' production delays and the inclusion of Hans Zimmer as a collaborator on the score, which may suggest a loss of his creative control over the sound that defined the show's first two seasons.

Euphoria, which first premiered on June 16, 2019, has gained significant acclaim for its portrayal of teenage experiences, particularly regarding issues of identity, substance abuse, and personal struggles. The show’s innovative aesthetic and powerful soundtrack contributed to its strong fan following and critical success, making Labrinth's role in its success pivotal before the upcoming changes in Season 3.
