The music driving the intense series

Netflix's 'Dark' Soundtrack

November 2017 was the first time Dark debuted on Netflix, since then the German series has been taking the world by storm. The soundtrack has especially struck a chord with fans of the show, getting endless streams online and raising the tension of the warped series to the next level!

The hit German sci-fi mystery series Dark consists of 26 episodes in 3 seasons from 2017 to 2020. The story takes place in the fictional small town of "Winden" where children mysteriously begin to disappear...

Dark is a brilliant and intricate series that follows the closely related families in the town and the generational impact of their past and future actions. It is a very intense and addictive show with a soundtrack that beautifully pairs with the series to up the tension to an entirely new level.

Dark on Netflix: This is the Soundtrack

Most of the songs composed for the series were created by Ben Frost, known for his minimalist and experimental instrumental music and the rest are perfectly fitting songs from multiple decades. The very recognizable mysterious title track for the series is actually "Goodbye" by Apparat featuring Soap & Skin, which was actually featured in one of the most pivotal episodes of Breaking Bad (Season 4, Episode 13 "Face-Off"). The song is a masterful melody of eerie whispers mixed with breaths and string instruments to perfectly lead curious viewers into each new episode.

Dark's soundtrack actually features songs from the 1950s and 1980s as the story spans across many different decades. The soundtrack of the whole series is available on Amazon Music and Spotify. Luckily, we have compiled the list of the brilliant soundtrack of all 3 seasons for you here!
