About the Music in It Gets Worse

Created by acclaimed stand-up comedian and writer Leo Reich, It Gets Worse captures the bittersweet friction between youthful aspirations and the uncompromising grind of contemporary London living. When eviction forces three roommates to scramble for separate living arrangements, their misadventures unfold against a distinctly modern auditory palette.

Music supervisor Mark Kirby curates an eclectic soundtrack that mirrors the neurotic, frenetic energy of the series. The tracklist alternates between pulsating underground club selections, cutting-edge hyperpop, abrasive post-punk, and intimate alternative songwriting. Each song placement marks pivotal emotional thresholds, providing stylistic counterpoints to the razor-sharp comedic timing.
