At What Stage Should Music Enter a TV Series?

Hi everyone,

I’m a composer and sound designer currently focusing on episodic scoring for TV and OTT series, particularly projects where music plays a strong narrative role rather than just background support.

I’d love to hear from directors and filmmakers here, at what stage of a TV series do you usually prefer to involve the composer? Is it during scripting, post-pilot, editing, or once the visual language is locked?

I’m keen to understand how early musical collaboration can help shape tone, pacing, and emotional continuity across episodes.

If helpful, I’m also happy to share links to my compositions for context and discussion.

Looking forward to learning from your experiences and perspectives.

Appreciate the insights.

Here is the link to my compositions for the genre "Crime - Investigation" : https://epichaos.disco.ac/playlist-new/27200212?date=20260116&user_id=28...
