From Franz Ferdinand’s Take Me Out to Kenickie’s Scared of Spiders.
The Netflix adaptation of Holly Smales’s Geek Girl has finally arrived on our screens, starring House of the Dragon’s Emily Carey as the titular “geek girl”, Harriet Manners.
The socially awkward, straight-A high school student is scouted by a top model agency during an outing to London Fashion Week with her peers, catapulting her into a world of “tightly wound agents, off-beat designers, impossibly high heels [and] a cute supermodel with a great smile”.
All of the action is serenaded by an eclectic soundtrack, featuring plenty of classics as well as some lesser-known tracks that you’ll have on repeat for weeks.
Read on for a full rundown of the music featured in Netflix’s Geek Girl.
