Hans Zimmer to Score Netflix's "All the Sinners Bleed" Series

Hans Zimmer and his composer collective, Bleeding Fingers Music, will score the upcoming Netflix series “All the Sinners Bleed.”

The show is an adaptation of the S.A Crosby novel of the same name. Joe Robert Cole is adapting the book for the screen and will also serve as executive producer and showrunner in addition to directing multiple episodes, including the first. 

The Obamas’ Higher Ground Productions and Amblin Television are also executive producing along with Cosby.

“’All the Sinners Bleed’ lives in the tension between faith, violence, and redemption, the kind of moral complexity where music speaks most powerfully,” Zimmer said. “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.”

“All the Sinners Bleed” stars Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù alongside series regulars John Douglas Thompson, Nicole Beharie, Daniel Ezra, Andrea Cortés, Murray Bartlett, and Leila George. 

The official logline for the series states, “Haunted by his devout mother’s untimely death, the first Black Sheriff (Dìrísù) 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.”

Zimmer is widely regarded as one of the greatest film composers alive today and one of the greatest of all time. 

He is a 12-time Oscar nominee in the best score category, winning the coveted award for his work on both “The Lion King” and Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune.” The prolific composer has been nominated for and won numerous other accolades, including Grammys, Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and beyond. Just a few of his other notable scores include work on “Interstellar,” “Gladiator,” Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy, and “Inception.”
