David Bowie has revealed his new track "Blackstar," which serves as the theme song to the new Sky Atlantic television series The Last Panthers.

The track is Bowie's first television theme in twenty years and follows his theme for the 1990s series The Buddha of Suburbia.

Director Johan Renck spoke with the BBC about approaching Bowie for the theme.

"His first response was precise, engaged and curious.

The piece of music he laid before us embodied every aspect of our characters and the series itself — dark, brooding, beautiful and sentimental in the best possible incarnation of this word," he writes.

"All along, the man inspired and intrigued me and as the process passed, I was overwhelmed with his generosity. I still can't fathom what actually happened."
