Segun Akinola to Score Doctor Who Season 11, Create a "Fresh Take" on Theme Song
Doctor Who has landed a new composer, rising star Segun Akinola, according to a press release from the BBC. Akinola will "provide an exciting and emotional score beckoning in a new era for the show, including a fresh take on the legendary theme tune," the press release promises. Showrunner Chris Chibnall apparently sought out Akinola due to his work on shows such as Black and British: A Forgotten History. You can check out that, and other work, on Akinola's Soundcloud:
In the press release, Chibnall said:
Welcome to the Doctor Who family, Segun Akinola! We're over the moon Segun's agreed to join us, to provide the score for the next phase of the Doctor Who adventure. From our very first conversations, it was obvious Segun was a passionate, collaborative and delightful human being as well as a fantastic and bold composer. We're looking forward to introducing the world to his exciting and emotional soundtracks for the Thirteenth Doctor.
While Akinola added:
Doctor Who is woven into the fabric of British culture and recognised globally. I am absolutely thrilled to be given the privilege of working on such a beloved series and to bring my musical voice to it.
Are you looking forward to a new take on the theme song? Here's a video showing all of the past takes:
