The Reluctant Traveler

I spent a good chunk of 2022 scoring this new series for Apple TV+, The Reluctant Traveler. Across eight episodes, the fantastic Canadian actor Eugene Levy (Schitt’s Creek, Best in Show, American Pie) travels to some of the most luxurious hotels on the planet.

At 75 years old, Eugene is genuinely happy to stay at home and live a comfortable life in familiar surroundings. But Apple TV persuaded him to explore the world and he reluctantly agreed! In this series he visits incredible places, meets new people, and discovers new experiences, many of which are well outside his comfort zone… Awkward, funny, wry – these are things Eugene definitely is, but adventurous, thrill-seeking, brave… well, not so much!

I’ll write a bit more about working on the series shortly, and post some clips of the music. Thanks to those of you who’ve written to me to say how much you’ve enjoyed the score for this show!
