Crew Girl is Netflix’s Canadian coming-of-age sports drama that premiered on September 10, 2026. The series follows teen rower Teagan Tao, played by Miku Martineau, who becomes coxswain of an all-boys crew team at an elite East Coast prep school after a family scandal upends her old life. The cast also includes Sam Braun, Kyle Clark, Jessica Paré, and Thomas Cadrot.
Created by Vivian Lin, the eight-episode season leans heavily on music to set its prep-school, coming-of-age tone. From here on, this article focuses entirely on that music — the score, the composer behind it, and the needle drops woven through each episode.

Crew Girl Soundtrack Overview
Crew Girl’s music runs on two tracks. Composer Adam King supplies the underscore, while the show leans on a dense run of contemporary needle drops across its eight episodes.
King has described his approach to the score as sitting in an “indie-electro” world, a departure from the hip-hop-inflected sound he brought to Kim’s Convenience or the atmospheric, post-apocalyptic textures of Earth Abides.
No standalone score album or official soundtrack compilation has been released for Crew Girl. The show’s musical identity currently rests on its licensed song choices, detailed below.
Who Composed the Crew Girl Soundtrack?
Adam King is the composer behind Crew Girl. The Toronto-based composer and producer has spent more than two decades working across genres, moving between jazz, electronic, folk, and pop before settling into a television scoring career.
King is best known for his long-running work on Kim’s Convenience (2016–2021), where he composed music across all 65 episodes and wrote the show’s theme, and its spin-off Strays (2021–2022). He also scored the YTV series Popularity Papers (2023–2024) and the MGM+ post-apocalyptic drama Earth Abides (2024).
Crew Girl marks King’s second collaboration with showrunner Vivian Lin, following their earlier work together on Popularity Papers.
