New FX show 'The Shards' will feature music from Troye Sivan, Leland, plus series star Hayes Warner

"Every summer has its dark side." Grammy-nominated musician Troye Sivan and longtime collaborator Leland announced they're creating original music for FX's newest drama from Ryan Murphy, "The Shards."

Sivan and Leland revealed the big news on Instagram, with the former writing, "Had so much fun writing some songs for this spooky sexy show."



Rising pop artist and "The Shards" star Hayes Warner, who plays Debbie Schaffer, will also be lending her talent for the show's original music.

The upcoming FX series is based on the acclaimed bestselling novel by Bret Easton Ellis ("American Psycho"). The show takes place in 1980s Los Angeles and follows high school seniors at an elite prep school. A mysterious new student, Robert Mallory (Homer Gere), joins just before the school year and his appearance resembles The Trawler, a serial killer terrorizing local teenagers.



"The Shards" cast also includes Kaia Gerber, Wes Bentley, Evan Rachel Wood, Jordan Roth, Igby Rigney and Graham Campbell.

Don't miss the suspenseful series and music when "The Shards" premieres Aug. 5 with two episodes on FX and Hulu beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of FX, Hulu and this ABC station.
