Nathan Barr (True Blood, The Americans, The House with a Clock in Its Walls, Hostel, Cabin Fever) is the composer of the new Netflix limited series Halston. The show is created by Sharr White (Generation) and stars Ewan McGregor, Bill Pullman, Rebecca Dayan, David Pittu, Krysta Rodriguez, Rory Culkin, Vera Farmiga, Sullivan Jones, Gian Franco Rodriguez, Kelly Bishop, Dilone, James Waterston, Jason Kravits and Mary Beth Peil. The 5-part drama follows the titular legendary fashion designer as he leverages his single, invented name into a worldwide fashion empire that’s synonymous with luxury, sex, status and fame, defining the era he lives in, 1970’s and ‘80’s New York, before his life starts to spin out of control. Sharr & McGregor are also executive producing the project with Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan & Alexis Martin Woodall (Glee, American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Pose), Killer Films’ Christine Vachon (Carol, Far from Heaven) & Pamela Koffler (Mildred Pierce, Still Alice), Eric Kovtun, as well as Daniel Minahan (House of Cards, Marco Polo) who also directed all episodes. Barr has previously scored last year’s Murphy-produced Netflix series Hollywood. Halston will premiere on May 14, 2021 exclusively on Netflix.
Barr also continues to score Hulu’s The Great and Amazon’s Carnival Row. The composer’s upcoming feature projects include Daniel Stamm’s The Devil’s Light, which is expected to be released in theaters later this year by Lionsgate.
