Hans Zimmer.
National Geographic Channel announced at a panel yesterday at the Television Critics Association summer tour that Hans Zimmer will be composing the main theme for network’s upcoming event series Saints & Strangers. The score will be composed by Bleeding Fingers Music, a collaboration between Zimmer and Extreme Music. Saints & Strangers is created by Eric Overmyer (Bosch, Treme, The Affair) and tells the story behind the founding of America, chronicling the trials and tribulations of the 101 men, women and children who boarded the Mayflower for a one-way trip to the New World in 1620. Overmeyr is also executive producing the Sony Pictures Television production with Grant Scharbo (The Gate), Gina Matthews (Popular) and Teri Weinberg (Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus). The two-parter marks the network’s first scripted mini-series. Saints & Strangers is set to premiere later this on Nat Geo.
