Theodore Shapiro is an Emmy® Award-winning composer with a prolific filmography spanning many of the most culturally defining films of the past 25 years.

Shapiro has won two Emmys®, one for each season of Apple TV+’s critically-acclaimed SEVERANCE. His haunting, atmospheric score has garnered wide praise for elevating the show’s unsettling tone, with critics dubbing it “iconic” (VULTURE), “perfect” (DECIDER) and “eerily catchy” (LOS ANGELES TIMES).

His most recent projects include the hit films THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 and THE HOUSEMAID.

Shapiro’s career has been defined chiefly by his versatility. He has built a reputation as a master of comedy scores, notably scoring iconic comedies like THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, 13 GOING ON 30 and DODGEBALL. Beyond that, however, his extensive body of work – contributing to over a billion dollars in cumulative box office revenue – spans a wide variety of films, with turns scoring the likes of THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE, BOMBSHELL and SEVERANCE helmer Ben Stiller’s THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY.

Following a deep passion for film music since childhood and stints at Brown University and Juilliard, Shapiro is now based in Los Angeles with his family.
