The Serpent takes place in the '70s, so which songs are featured? Based on the life of serial killer Charles Sobhraj, the April 2021 Netflix release explores why the subject targeted certain individuals, and how he managed to evade authorities. The Serpent has received mixed reviews from critics, but the funky soundtrack seems to be a hit.
Written by Richard Warlow and Toby Finlay, The Serpent incorporates various time jumps when detailing Sobhraj's motivations for murder. Each episode focuses heavily on his relationship with girlfriend Marie-Andrée Leclerc aka Monique (Jenna Coleman), and all the bureaucratic factors that prevent an investigator named Herman Knippenberg (Billy Howle) from reaching the truth about "Alain Gautier." The Serpent includes mainstream American hits from the late '70s but primarily features European classics and music from Southeast Asia.
The Serpent's official score was composed by Dominik Scherrer, a Swiss musician who is best known for his work in The Missing and Ripper Street. There's a fusion of American rock and Europop in the 2021 Netfix show, including classics from The Rolling Stones and Serge Gainsbourg. Overall, The Serpent's soundtrack will likely introduce audiences to new artists from around the world - here's every featured song.
