Euphoria Season 2: Release Date, Star Cast Everything We Know About HBO Series

Are you ready for Euphoria season 2 yet ? You’ll have to wait a bit, but at least we already know some interesting details about it. For example, Zendaya revealed in an interview that watching the show won’t be much fun, which suggests that Rue has a lot of trouble ahead of her. In addition, a few months ago the two special chapters of the series were released, which are a kind of bridge between the first and the events of the second.

The first bridge chapter is called ” Trouble Don’t Last Always ” and let us see the “Christmas celebration” of Rue (Zendaya), who was going through a relapse after being “abandoned” by Jules at the end of the first. On the other hand, the second told the story from the perspective of Jules, who was attending therapy so that he could deal with everything that had happened. That second chapter ends with a meeting between Rue and Jules, which marks the beginning of what is going to happen in the new season.

During an interview on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, Zendaya had already anticipated what the chapter would be like. “I really don’t know how to describe it, but an episode that we can do with a limited number of people in a safer environment that can give people something,” he stated.

Euphoria was one of the best HBO series in 2019 and one of the best portraits of teenage life today (you will be traumatized if you have children the age of the protagonists), so we always knew it was going to have so minus one more season, especially after that enigmatic finale that doesn’t leave Rue, Zendaya’s character, very well off.

This series is an adaptation of another Israeli series with the same name, with some changes and details that change to bring it closer to the reality of adolescents on this side of the world, and follows a teenager who, after overdosing and dating From rehabilitation, he returns home and must deal with a series of new problems, from the love we reciprocated, to the temptation to return to addictions.

Euphoria, which remains one of the best series in HBO history, became a hit from its first episode and is currently one of the most popular series among younger audiences. The first season was seen by more than 550.00 people per episode and has been seen by more than 5.5 million users on different platforms, all thanks to Sam Levinson creating a surreal, intense and somewhat disturbing world that absorbs you from the first moment and it keeps you stuck until the end, and this is a series that premiered one chapter a week.

Zendaya completely moved away from her Disney girl image to become a magnetic, if somewhat disturbed protagonist, who serves as a meeting point that connects the rest of the great characters in this series. Euphoria is visually stunning, her story is interesting and current, she gave us great performances and memorable characters and there isn’t a single detail that doesn’t work.

This was one of HBO’s big proposals for the end of 2020, but it was delayed until 2021 and there are a few things you need to know, and remember, before the premiere. More nudity, glitter, sex, drugs and uncontrolled adolescents await us.
