The upcoming Netflix crime drama All the Sinners Bleed just added a major musical heavyweight to its team. Two-time Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer has signed on to compose the score for the series, working alongside his creative collective, Bleeding Fingers Music. The news was confirmed by the show’s creator, Joe Robert Cole, who is adapting the best-selling novel by S.A. Cosby for the screen .
This project brings together an impressive lineup of talent both in front of and behind the camera. With Barack and Michelle Obamaโs Higher Ground Productions and Steven Spielbergโs Amblin Television serving as executive producers, the series is shaping up to be one of Netflixโs most anticipated releases .
A Composer Who Needs No Introduction
Hans Zimmer is one of the most recognized and respected film composers working today. With a career spanning decades, he has created the musical backdrop for some of the biggest movies in Hollywood history. His work on The Lion King earned him his first Oscar, and he picked up his second for Dune. His other famous scores include Gladiator, the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, and Interstellar .
For All the Sinners Bleed, Zimmer will collaborate with Bleeding Fingers Music, a composer collective he co-founded. The group is known for its work on major television series and shares Zimmer’s approach to creating immersive and emotionally powerful music .
What the Creative Team Is Saying
Joe Robert Cole, who wrote Black Panther and serves as showrunner and director for the series, explained why Zimmer was the right choice for this project. In an official statement, he said, โHans 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. Iโm incredibly excited to have Hans and the Bleeding Fingers Music composer collective interpreting this core contention through musicโ .
Hans Zimmer also shared his thoughts on joining the project, showing a clear understanding of the story’s emotional core. He stated, โAll 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. Weโre 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 chaosโ .
The Story Behind All the Sinners Bleed
The series is based on the 2023 novel by S.A. Cosby, which earned a spot on former President Barack Obamaโs summer reading list that same year . The story follows Titus Crown, played by แนขแปpแบนฬ Dรฌrรญsรน (Gangs of London), who is the first Black sheriff in a small county located in the Bible Belt region of the United States.

The story falls into the Southern noir genre, a style known for exploring dark themes against the backdrop of the American South .
