The show’s original music is composed by Daniel Pemberton (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Enola Holmes, Steve Jobs, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Birds of Prey) and Adem Ilhan (In the Loop, The Ballad of Wallis Island, Avenue 5, The Beautiful Game).

Premiering in the U.S. on Wednesday, June 4, is the British TV series Mr Loverman based on the novel of the same title by Bernardine Evaristo, adapted by Nathaniel Price and starring Lennie James, Ariyon Bakare and Sharon D. Clarke. Speakers Corner Quartet have composed the show’s original music. OTIH Records has released a soundtrack album featuring the musicians’ score last fall.

The drama, which revolves around a 74-year old man whose wife of 50 years senses that he has been cheating on her with other women, when in fact he has been having a secret, passionate affair with his male best friend, premiered in the UK last October on BBC One and is making its U.S. debut on BritBox.
