The soundtrack to Luther: The Fallen Sun is almost entirely made up by the score for the film, which has been composed by Lorne Balfe.

Balfe has previously provided scores for series such as His Dark Materials and Man Vs Bee, as well as for films including Black Adam, Mission: Impossible - Fallout and The Tomorrow War. He is also working on scores for upcoming films such as Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Argyle.

Meanwhile, the soundtrack also features a newly recorded version of the Luther theme song Paradise Circus, which was originally recorded by Massive Attack and featured vocals by Hope Sandoval.

The new version features Ghostpoet and has been produced by POST, which is the name of duo Stew Jackson and Massive Attack's Grant Marshall.
