Segun Akinola’s score for the most recent series of Doctor Who will be released on 3rd April by Silva Screen.

The two-disc release features music from across the season, in story order.

Segun Akinola, Composer, said: “From the experimental sounds of ‘Orphan 55’ to the emotional rollercoaster of ‘The Timeless Children’, it’s been a complete joy working on the music for Series 12 and I hope that whilst listening to this album, fans can relive all their favourite moments.”

Chris Chibnall, Showrunner, said: “Segun’s music is a key component of the Thirteenth Doctor’s era – his extraordinarily eclectic, bold and emotional scores for the series are part of Doctor Who’s identity. From lush orchestral spy movie arrangements to experimental soundscapes, this collection showcases the range, ambition, precision and brilliance of Segun as a composer – and demonstrates how lucky Doctor Who is to have a composer of Segun’s calibre providing dynamic and fresh new scores every episode. No Doctor Who fan should be without it, and no lover of contemporary film scores should miss it.“

A behind the scenes featurette of the music from Series 12 was released on the Doctor Who YouTube channel today to promote the soundtrack:

The Doctor Who Series 12 – Original Television Soundtrack is available digitally (£10.99 RRP) and on CD (£12.99 RRP). Sci-Fi Bulletin will be running a competition to win a copy nearer release date.
