Netflix's coming-of-age rowing drama Crew Girl arrived with all eight episodes on September 10, 2026, bringing with it a soundtrack that spans pop, rock, and electronic music. Created by Vivian Lin, the series follows rower Teagan Tao, played by Miku Martineau, who relocates to the east coast of the United States after a family scandal. When she discovers her new school has no girls' rowing team, she agrees to serve as coxswain for the chaotic boys' varsity crew.
The show's original score was composed by Adam King, whose previous credits include Earth Abides, Strays, and Kim's Convenience. Alongside King's score, Crew Girl features a wealth of needle drops across its eight episodes, including tracks by Self Esteem and Soulwax. The cast includes Sam Braun, Kyle Clark, Thomas Cadrot, Jessica Paré, and Connor Paton.
The soundtrack opens strong in episode one, titled «The Catch,» with a run of songs that sets the tone for the series. That episode features «Too Much» by Dove Cameron, «Triple Seven» by Wishy, «Care» by Hana Vu, «Gospel» by Jean Dawson, «Keep Moving» by MØ, «Circling» by Tiny Habits, «300 dreams» by After, «Truth Of Pursuit» by Sarah Kinsley, «No Broke Boys» by Disco Lines and Tinashe, and «The Best» by Tina Turner.
Episode two, «The Hateful Eight,» shifts toward a more electronic and alternative palette. It includes «Whiplash» by aespa, «After The Flood» by Karen Dahlstrom, «Kick Back» by FETISH, «Ants» by The Unfit, «Run Rabbit» by ALT BLK ERA, «Reckless» by Kassie Krut, and «TRUST!» by Rebecca Black.
Episode three, «Flight Crew,» features «Ten Girls» by Circe, «Gosports!!!» by couchgagzzz, and «Anywhere Else» by Alice Costelloe. It also includes a performance of The Killers' «Mr. Brightside» by the characters Josh and Teagan, a moment that ties the show's rowing crew to a familiar pop-rock anthem.
Episode four, «True Rowmance,» brings another eclectic mix: «Freak It» by Kim Petras, «I'm Always Sad» by Ethan Gold, «Breaking In Reverse» by jasmine.4.t, «Run Free» by Soulwax, «Accelerator» by Blusher, «Dramamine» by Middle Kids, and «Prize Fighter» by Jean Dawson.
Episode five, «Anatomy Of A Fall Formal,» leans into moodier pop and indie sounds. The episode features «MF Diamond» by CHINCHILLA, «My Everything» by Wet, «Poquito Mas» by Kacy Hill, «Cursed Romantics» by Maude Latour, «Slow Burn» by Anne Leanne, «Blonde» by Sunday, and «Honeycrash» by SASAMI.
Episode six, «Bad Break,» includes «Doing It For My Country» by Vincent's Last Summer, «From A Different Life, It Seems» by Alex Banin, and «Passenger» by Sir Chloe. Episode seven, «Under Pressure,» features «BOSS (Jonathan Snipes Remix)» by Bloods and «MUSCLE» by METTE.
The finale, episode eight, titled «O Coxswain, My Coxswain,» closes the season with «Control» by Coach Party, «SET IT ON FIRE» by ANOTR, «Synching» by Miss Grit, «Focus Is Power» by Self Esteem, and «Fade Away» by Girl Tones.
Across its first season, Crew Girl uses its soundtrack to reinforce the show's blend of teen drama, athletic ambition, and emotional upheaval. The mix of established artists and newer acts mirrors the series' own balancing act between familiar coming-of-age tropes and the specific world of competitive rowing. With all eight episodes now available, viewers can trace the musical journey episode by episode, from Tina Turner's «The Best» in the premiere to Self Esteem's «Focus Is Power» in the finale.
