To celebrate this week's launch of major new crime drama The Last Panthers, a further 45 seconds of David Bowie's brand new song Blackstar' has been released exclusively by Sky Atlantic.
The unveil comes just two days before the series launches simultaneously across Europe on Sky Atlantic at 9pm, 12 November 2015, and is the soundtrack to 90 seconds of never-before-seen footage from The Last Panthers.
Blackstar' is the title track for the series and is a result of collaboration between David Bowie and the director of The Last Panthers, Johan Renck.

The series is produced by Frances Haut et Court TV (The Returned) and the UKs Warp Films (This is England) and directed by the acclaimed Johan Renck (Bloodline, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead as well as videos by Madonna, New Order, Beyonc and Lana Del Rey) and was filmed in Marseille, Belgrade, Montenegro and London.
The Last Panthers is screening on Sky Atlantic in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany and Austria from 12 November.
