2026 Sound & Screen Television Streaming Site Launches

Deadline on Monday launched the streaming site for Sound & Screen Television, its annual awards-season showcase of the best of TV music.

The event, which took place May 6 at UCLA’s Royce Hall, featured composers and songwriters from 11 buzzy shows discussing their craft and showing of their scores and songs with the help of a full orchestra in front of a crowd of industry voters.

This year’s edition welcomed composers Finneas O’Connell from Beef and Chris Bacon from Wednesday, both from Netflix; Christopher Lennertz and Matt Bowen from The Boys and Tyler Strickland from John Candy: I Like Me, both from Prime Video; Breton Vivian from Paramount+’s The Madison; Amanda Jones from Murderbot and Siddhartha Khosla from Imperfect Women, both from Apple TV; Jeff Beal from Peacock’s All Her Fault; and Jeff Russo from FX’s Alien: Earth.

Songwriters who joined in included co-writer David Archuleta, co-writer/singer Sophie Rose and co-writer/producer Michael Blum from Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, and composer-songwriter Gavin Brivik and songwriter Andrew Bird performing the first original song from HBO Max’s Emmy-winning The Pitt.

Deadline’s latest awards-season installment follows last month’s live, 29-show strong Contenders Television, and before that Contenders Television: Documentary. Up next: Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted, a virtual presentation May 30.
