On April 3rd, Direct TV will debut its original series, Rogue, composed by Jeff Toyne. This marks Toyne's debut into American television. Direct TV famously revived series such as Friday Night Lights and Damages, giving them additional seasons. Rogue is their first attempt at creating their own scripted content.
Toyne comments, "It's been an absolute thrill to work on this production! The taut storyline, the great look, and the fine performances have all inspired my music. I'm lucky to be a part of such a wonderful collaborative team."
The score soundtrack to Rogue is scheduled to release sometime after the season finale. The release date is yet to be determined.
