More about the show

The third season of the series, under Jess Brownell's direction, will be divided into two parts. The first part will debut on May 16, with the remaining four episodes premiering on June 13. The soundtracks will also be released in two parts.

Justin Kamps, the show's music supervisor, shared with Tudum, ‘I start to try to think of songs from the past that could maybe work for this and then also current hits that could possibly make sense.’

Regarding the music composition for the main characters this season, Kris Bowers, another returning music supervisor, commented, ‘Creating a new theme for Colin (Luke Newton), a new theme for Penn, and a new theme for the two of them together was a lot of fun. It definitely brought a fresh feeling to the sound and score for this season.’
