John Medeski Scoring New Nathan Fielder Series ‘The Curse’

Keyboardist John Medeski was recruited to help create the score for Nathan Fielder’s upcoming new Showtime series, The Curse. Oneohtrix Point Never (Daniel Lopatin) also appears to be involved in the project.

An Instagram post by Brooklyn-based Circular Ruin Studio revealed Medeski was at work on music for Fielder’s new show. Production, recording and mixing are being handled by Randall Dunn with music editing done by Arjan Miranda. Lopatin, who also posted on Instagram from the studio, is serving as executive producer.

Fielder’s previous productions include The Rehearsal and Nathan for You. Read a synopsis of The Curse, whose premiere date has not yet been confirmed, below:

Showtime has ordered the half-hour comedy series The Curse, to star Oscar winner Emma Stone (La La Land, The Favourite, Birdman), who will also serve as an executive producer on the project under her Fruit Tree banner. The series will be directed by and co-star Nathan Fielder (Nathan for You, How To with John Wilson), who will also executive produce alongside brothers Josh and Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems) and their Elara Pictures banner. A24 will produce the series.

Fielder co-created the series with Benny Safdie, who will also star. The Curse is a genre-bending scripted comedy that explores how an alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple as they try to conceive a child while co-starring on their problematic new HGTV show.
