Every '90s Banger on the Netflix 'Legends' Soundtrack

Every song featured in the Netflix British crime series.

Netflix’s new British crime drama Legends takes viewers back to the early 1990s. The six-part series follows a top-secret operation where ordinary Customs employees are sent undercover to infiltrate dangerous heroin smuggling rings. Naturally, a 1990s-set series needs a fitting soundtrack, and Legends delivers a solid lineup of era-appropriate tracks to set the scene.

Director Brady Hood was intentional about how the decade was portrayed on screen. Rather than viewing the era with a nostalgic filter, Hood aimed to capture its true energy, explaining:

“I didn’t want to look back at the ’90s through a sepia lens. From what I recall of the ’90s, it was vibrant and exciting; tracksuits and pills and dance music. I wanted to capture that exuberant nature…”

Music also played a practical role behind the scenes for the cast. To help the actors navigate the headspace of their dual roles, Hood used music as a character-building exercise:

“One other little thing I did early on was ask all the actors to send me a couple of songs each: one they’d listen to at home, which was more of a guilty pleasure, then one that they’d play in front of a crowd, in their legend. It was a nice way to see where they were coming from.”
