Labrinth, the Emmy-winning musician behind the hit series , has unleashed a furious social media tirade targeting both the entertainment industry and the show itself.

‘I'm done with this industry. F--- Columbia,’ the 37-year-old British composer and recording artist declared late Thursday, directing his ire at his record label.

He didn’t stop there, taking aim at the Zendaya-led drama that has become a cultural phenomenon: ‘Double f--- Euphoria. I'm out. Thank you and good night x.’

A four-time nominee for his work on Euphoria, for the haunting season one finale track, All for Us.

The Grammy-nominated composer has been responsible for the show’s signature score since the very first season.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Labrinth and HBO for comment on the shocking post.

Actress Natasha Lyonne reacted to Labrinth’s explosive post with a simple heart emoji, while fellow musicians rushed to show their support. 

Skylar Grey urged him, ‘Please don’t stop making music the world needs you.’

Colman Domingo returns as a guest star, while Martha Kelly and Chloe Cherry have been promoted to series regulars alongside new faces including Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, Kadeem Hardison, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Toby Wallace.

Labrinth’s fiery post comes weeks after news emerged that Eric Dane had quietly completed filming for season three before his tragic death aged 53 on February 19.

The actor had revealed in April 2025 that he was battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but confirmed he planned to return to the Emmy-winning HBO drama. 

True to his word, Dane finished his scenes as troubled patriarch Cal Jacobs, father of Nate (Elordi), though his character was absent from the January trailer.

Paying tribute, Levinson said he was ‘heartbroken by the loss of our dear friend Eric,’ adding: ‘Working with him was an honor. Being his friend was a gift. Eric's family is in our prayers. May his memory be for a blessing.’ 

HBO also released a statement: ‘We are deeply saddened by the news of Eric Dane's passing. He was incredibly talented and HBO was fortunate to have worked with him on three seasons of Euphoria. Our thoughts are with his loved ones during this difficult time.’

After the season two finale in February 2022, Dane had told Variety his character was set for a redemption arc: ‘I mean, that's the trajectory he's on, I can't imagine Cal's life in solitary confinement. It's tough to work Cal into the storyline when he's behind bars.’

Most of season three remains under wraps, though the recently released trailer offers the first tantalizing glimpse ahead of the show’s April 12 return on HBO.
