In the second season, Zendaya returns as Rue, who is going through a relapse after Jules (Hunter Schafer) left her for the big city. Now that school has started, Rue is confronted with new obstacles during her rehab and regarding her relationship with Jules. Tensions rise between Nate (Jacob Elordi), Maddy (Alexa Demie) and Cassie (Sydney Sweeney), while Lexi (Maude Apatow) is starting a creative business.
Written, directed and executive produced by Levinson, Euphoria has been a hit critically and culturally. Beyond trending on Twitter with nearly each episode, Euphoria took home three prizes at the 2020 Primetime Emmys, including Zendaya’s history-making Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series win. That year, Euphoria also won Outstanding Contemporary Makeup (Non-Prosthetic) and Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. At the 2021 Primetime Awards, Euphoria received three nominations.
“Sam, Zendaya, and the entire cast and crew of Euphoria have taken Season 2 to extraordinary heights, challenging narrative convention and form, while maintaining its heart. We couldn’t be more honored to work with this gifted, wildly talented team or more excited to continue our journey with them into Season 3,” said Francesca Orsi, EVP of HBO Programming.
