Sony Music will release a soundtrack album for the ITV original series Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands. The album features selections from the show’s original music composed by Rob Lane (Merlin, Longford, The Damned United, John Adams). The soundtrack will be released on March 11, 2016 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Beowulf is created by James Dormer and stars Kieran Bew, William Hurt, Joanne Whalley, Ed Speleers and David Ajala. The show follows a troubled warrior who experiences love and loss yet shares a deep binding comradery with his fellow kinsmen. The drama’s first season premiered earlier this month in the UK on ITV and this past Saturday in the U.S. on Esquire Network. Visit the official show website for updates on the series.
