David Bowie is set to pen an original song for use in forthcoming crime drama The Last Panthers.

The songwriter seemingly met with the show's director Johan Renck during the filming of the series, and offered to pen something for use in the opening credits.

Labelled “dark, brooding and sentimental” by the director, the song will be unveiled when The Last Panthers airs later this year.

Johan Renck:

“I was looking for one of the icons of my youth to write the music for the title sequence, but was presented with a God. 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). 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…”

Will it match the grandeur of 'The Next Day'? Here's hoping…
