Daniel Pemberton - The Drama (Original Soundtrack) (2026) [Hi-Res]

The Drama is a 2026 romantic comedy-drama produced by A24 and directed by Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli (Dream Scenario, Sick of Myself), starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. The film follows a happy engaged couple whose wedding week is upended by a shocking confession from the bride, setting off an escalating chain of uncomfortable revelations. The film opened in US and UK cinemas on April 3, 2026.
The score was composed by British composer Daniel Pemberton — Ivor Novello laureate and Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA nominee, known for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Steve Jobs, The Trial of the Chicago 7, and Materialists — and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.
The music is built around light, whimsical flute themes that mirror the outward carefree confidence of the central characters while concealing an undercurrent of dread. As the protagonists unravel, the score takes on a hallucinatory, psychologically charged quality reminiscent of 1970s psychological dramas. Critics have highlighted Pemberton's subtly insistent approach as a key element in amplifying both the film's comedic timing and its escalating tension, working in seamless counterpoint with Borgli and editor Joshua Raymond Lee's sharp, off-kilter cutting style.
