David Bowie writes title track for new TV show, ‘The Last Panthers’

“I was looking for one of the icons of my youth to write the music for the title sequence,” says series director Johan Renck in a press release, “but was presented with a God. His first response was precise, engaged and curious. The piece of music he laid before us embodied every aspect of our characters and the series itself - dark, brooding, beautiful and sentimental (in the best possible incarnation of this word). All along, the man inspired and intrigued me and as the process passed, I was overwhelmed with his generosity. I still can’t fathom what actually happened…”

The six-part series begins with a diamond heist, before “delving into the dark heart of Europe where a shadowy alliance of gangsters and ‘banksters’ now rule”.
