Euphoria is an American teen drama television series created and principally written by Sam Levinson for HBO and based on the Israeli miniseries of the same name created by Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin. The series’ main character is Rue Bennett (Zendaya), a recovering teenage drug addict who struggles to find her place in the world.
Euphoria‘s executive producers include Levinson, Zendaya, Ron Leshem, and Gary Lennon. The series is filmed at Ulysses S. Grant High School in Los Angeles, California, Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, and will be filmed in Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California. Outside California, it will be filmed in New York City, Singapore, and Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire. The series has received generally positive reviews, with praise for its cinematography, score, performances of the cast (particularly Zendaya, Schafer, Sweeney and Domingo), and approach to its mature subject matter. It has also been a subject of controversy for its nudity and sexual content, which critics found excessive due to the teenage setting. It is the third most-watched series in HBO history, behind Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
Euphoria premiered on June 16, 2019. The series was renewed for a second season in July 2019. Two one-hour specials were broadcast in December 2020 and January 2021. The second season premiered on January 9, 2022, and in February 2022 the series was renewed for a third season. The series has received numerous accolades, including a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series. For her performance, Zendaya has won two Primetime Emmy Awards, a Critics’ Choice Television Award, and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Sydney Sweeney, Colman Domingo, and Martha Kelly have also received Emmy nominations for their acting, with Domingo winning Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.

Episodes[edit]

Specials (2020–21)[edit]
Season 2 (2022)[edit]
Production[edit]
Conception[edit]
Creator, writer, director, and showrunner Sam Levinson in 2018
In 2006, Sam Levinson began drafting different versions of what eventually became Euphoria, based on his experience with drugs as a teenager.[3] He was invited to a meeting with HBO about an adaptation of the 2012 Israeli television series Euphoria created by Ron Leshem, Daphna Levin, and Tamira Yardeni.[27] In 2019, Levinson said HBO’s head of drama, Francesca Orsi, liked the «raw and honest» portrayal of drug use and other teenage problems in the Israeli series.[28] In a press release, Orsi described the series as «Kids meets Trainspotting» with no parental supervision.[29]
The concept for Euphoria was based on Levinson’s personal experiences as a teenager and his struggles with anxiety, depression, and drug addiction.[30][31] In a meeting with Orsi, he recalled: «We just had a conversation about just life and her life and my life and various struggles that, you know, we’ve been through and things and she said, ‘Great, you know, well go and write that’ and I said ‘What?’ and she goes ‘Everything we just talked about'».[27] Levinson has also cited teenage anxiety as a whole as an influence for the series: «There is this consistent anxiety that I think exists in this generation that I think informed the whole filmmaking process.»[32]
In June 2017, it was reported that the series was in development at HBO.[33]
Production team[edit]
Euphoria is a co-production of The Reasonable Bunch, A24, Little Lamb, DreamCrew, and HBO Entertainment.[34] It has 16 executive producers, including Levinson, Leshem, Levin, Yardeni, Hadas Mozes Lichtenstein, Mirit Toovi, Yoram Mokadi, Gary Lennon, Zendaya, Canadian rapper Drake, Future the Prince, Ravi Nandan, and Kevin Turen.[33][35][36] The pilot episode, «Pilot», was directed by Augustine Frizzell.[37]
Levinson has served as Euphoria‘s showrunner since its premiere, and has written every episode.[36] He has directed every episode except the Pilot and the season one episodes «03 Bonnie and Clyde» and «The Next Episode»,[37][38] which were directed by Jennifer Morrison and Pippa Bianco. Zendaya will probably direct the third season’s episode.[39]
The production was given a pilot order on March 13, 2018,[40] and on July 30, it was announced that HBO had given the production a series order.[36] The series was renewed for a second season on July 11, 2019.[41]
Out of respect for the actors and extras involved, filming of nudity was conducted on a closed set, and for sex scenes, an intimacy coordinator was used.[42][43][44]
Production for season two was scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2020, with the first table read on March 11,[45] but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the production.[46][47] Production resumed in March 2021, with filming from April to November.[48]
Before the series’ second season, HBO ordered two specials. The first, «Trouble Don’t Last Always», premiered on December 6, 2020, and follows Rue as she deals with the aftermath of leaving Jules at the train station and relapsing.[49] The second, «Fuck Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob», premiered on January 24, 2021, and follows Jules’s side of the story.[50] The second episode was co-written and executive produced by Levinson and Hunter Schafer.[51] HBO announced that the special episodes would air two days early on HBO Max.[52]
On February 4, 2022, HBO renewed the series for a third season.[53] In September 2022, HBO’s CEO Casey Bloys said the series would not go beyond four seasons, and might end after season three.[54] Production of season three will start in February 2023,[55] aiming for a late 2023 release,[56] but however, scheduling conflicts caused certain delays.
Casting[edit]
From left to right, The entire cast except for Zendaya, Abrams, Dane, Demie, Domingo, Ferreira, Fike, King, and Smith are part of Gen Z.
In June 2018, it was announced that the pilot would star Zendaya, Storm Reid, Maude Apatow, Astro, Eric Dane, Angus Cloud, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Nika King, Hunter Schafer, and Sydney Sweeney.[57] In October, Algee Smith was cast to replace Astro as McKay, and that Austin Abrams had also been cast.[58] Astro reportedly quit the series after shooting the pilot as he was uncomfortable with the sexual content involving his character.[59]
In April 2020, Kelvin Harrison Jr. joined the cast, but by May 2021, he had dropped out due to scheduling conflicts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[60][61] In August, Dominic Fike, Minka Kelly, and Demetrius ‘Lil Meech’ Flenory Jr. were added to the cast.[62] On February 22, 2022, it was announced that Smith had quit the series after starring in two episodes of season 2.[63] On August 24, 2022, Ferreira announced via Instagram story that she had decided to leave the series.[64]
Filming locations and style[edit]
Primary photography takes place in Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. Ulysses S. Grant High School in Los Angeles stands in for the fictional East Highland High School.[65] According to the California Film Commission, the first season of Euphoria received $8,378,000 in incentive tax credits. The first season was filmed over a combined total of 104 days; the second season’s production costs totaled $96,685,000 after a total of 176 filming days. Subsequently, the second season received a $19,406,000 tax credit for employing over 15,000 people in California.[66]
For season one, the show was shot digitally. Starting with season two, the show was shot on Kodak Ektachrome film stock, which cinematographer Marcell Rév attributed to a desire to invoke «some sort of memory of high school.»[67]
For season three, Rue’s sobriety journey, Zendaya opened up about exploring characters outside high school,[68] with possible filming locations of New York City, Singapore, and Warner Bros. Studios lots in Burbank and Leavesden.[citation needed]
From left to right, for season three, the locations of Manhattan and Marina Bay are planned filming locations, to inspire Westworld, as Rue’s sobriety journey.
Episode titles[edit]
Many of the episode titles for season one are references to late-1990s and early-2000s song titles that correlate to the episode itself. For instance, «’03 Bonnie and Clyde» is a reference to the 2002 Jay-Z and Beyoncé song of the same name. The loyal relationship between Nate Jacobs and Maddy Perez in the episode mirrors that between Jay-Z and Beyoncé in the song.[69][6] For season two, many of the episode titles are references to books and quotes.
Controversy[edit]
Some commentators and organizations have criticized the series’ explicit content, including self-harm, excessive drug use, and sexual material.[70] The conservative media advocacy group Parents Television and Media Council called the series «dark, depraved, degenerate and nihilistic» and asked HBO and AT&T to end it.[71] Common Sense Media, which provides information on media’s suitability for children, also noted the strong adult themes and advised against teenage viewership.[72] One scene involving more than 30 shots of penises was criticized by both critics and supporters, with Esquire calling it «pointlessly gratuitous».[73] The Guardian wrote that writers and producers should find new and different ways to shock audiences.[74] In 2022, Minka Kelly said she felt discomfort at the quantity of nude scenes in the series.[75] Drug Abuse Resistance Education criticized the series’ depiction of drug use, saying that it «chooses to misguidedly glorify and erroneously depict high school student drug use addiction … and other destructive behaviors as common in today’s world”.[76] Samuel Getachew wrote in a Culture piece for Vogue that the series’ depictions of trauma aestheticizes it in a way that his «generation is particularly vulnerable to».[77] HBO defended the series against the Season 2 shoot allegations, writing: «The well-being of cast and crew on our productions is always a top priority. The production was in full compliance with all safety guidelines and guild protocols. It’s not uncommon for drama series to have complex shoots, and COVID protocols add an additional layer. We maintain an open line of communication with all the guilds, including SAG-AFTRA. There were never any formal inquiries raised.»[78]
Criticism[edit]
Zendaya issued a viewer discretion warning on social media.
Levinson acknowledged the controversies over the series’ content, saying that some parents will be «totally fucking freaked out».[79] Augustine Frizzell, who directed the series’ pilot episode, said that the explicit content should help foster a conversation between parents and teenagers.[80] Levinson also said that he hopes the series «opens up a dialogue» due to the «disconnect between parents and teenagers».[81] Zendaya issued a warning both before the series and season 2 premiere about its «deeply emotional subject matter».[82] HBO voiced objections to some sexually graphic scenes, but said it would not interfere with the series’ «creative process».[79] The series includes viewer discretion warnings and a website for mental health and other support group resources.[83][84] The series has reportedly been censored for sexual or violent content in countries like Malaysia,[85] the Philippines,[86] Singapore,[87] and Vietnam.

In Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, it premiered on June 17, 2019, through HBO Asia.[88] In Australia, it premiered on June 17, 2019, through Foxtel.[89] In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, it premiered on August 6, 2019, through Sky Atlantic.[90] The specials were released on December 6, 2020[f] (as Part 1: Rue) and January 24, 2021[g] (as Part 2: Jules).

Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]

Specials[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the episode has a score of 97%, with an average rating of 8.44/10 based on 23 critical reviews.

On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a score of 96%, with an average rating of 7.9/10 based on 22 critical reviews.

Awards and nominations[edit]
Music[edit]
Labrinth composed original music for the series.
Euphoria‘s score was composed by English singer, songwriter, and record producer Labrinth.[167] The song «All for Us», performed by Labrinth and Zendaya, is hinted at throughout season 1 before being performed as a large musical number at the end of the season finale.[168] Labrinth makes an appearance in the series alongside Zendaya to perform their song «I’m Tired».[169]
When you look back to your teenage days, it feels semi-magical but semi-crazy and semi-psychotic. I wanted to make sure the music felt like those things.
—Labrinth to Rolling Stone[167]
The series also makes extensive[170] use of popular music, including hip hop, trap, R&B, experimental, indie rock, standards and doo-wop, with some episodes featuring over 20 songs.[171][172] For their work on Euphoria‘s first season, music supervisors Jen Malone (who also supervises the FX series Atlanta) and Adam Leber won the 2020 Guild of Music Supervisors Award for Best Music Supervision in a Television Drama.[173]
Scores[edit]
The score album for the first season was released by Sony Masterworks through Milan Records on October 4, 2019 for digital download.[174] The album was also released on vinyl on January 10, 2020.[175] The score has been described as «the holy lilt of gospel, orchestral and electronic» and was favorably reviewed by Variety.[176]
The score album for the second season was released by Columbia Records on April 22, 2022, in digital and physical formats. Like the previous one, it was composed and produced by Labrinth.[177]

In an interview with IndieWire, Labrinth stated of the soundtrack’s religious undertones: «We spoke about using organs because of a lot of the religious influences in the show, especially with Rue. We wanted a lot of the sounds edging towards a religious sound. And because I love both Pentecostal and Catholic sounds, I kind of was like trying to merge them both together.»[177]

Euphoria is an American teen drama television series created and principally written by Sam Levinson for HBO and based on the Israeli miniseries of the same name created by Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin. The series’ main character is Rue Bennett (Zendaya), a recovering teenage drug addict who struggles to find her place in the world.
Euphoria‘s executive producers include Levinson, Zendaya, Ron Leshem, and Gary Lennon. The series is filmed at Ulysses S. Grant High School in Los Angeles, California, Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, and will be filmed in Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California. Outside California, it will be filmed in New York City, Singapore, and Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire. The series has received generally positive reviews, with praise for its cinematography, score, performances of the cast (particularly Zendaya, Schafer, Sweeney and Domingo), and approach to its mature subject matter. It has also been a subject of controversy for its nudity and sexual content, which critics found excessive due to the teenage setting. It is the third most-watched series in HBO history, behind Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
Euphoria premiered on June 16, 2019. The series was renewed for a second season in July 2019. Two one-hour specials were broadcast in December 2020 and January 2021. The second season premiered on January 9, 2022, and in February 2022 the series was renewed for a third season. The series has received numerous accolades, including a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series. For her performance, Zendaya has won two Primetime Emmy Awards, a Critics’ Choice Television Award, and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Sydney Sweeney, Colman Domingo, and Martha Kelly have also received Emmy nominations for their acting, with Domingo winning Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.

Episodes[edit]
Season 1 (2019)[edit]
Specials (2020–21)[edit]
Season 2 (2022)[edit]
Production[edit]
Conception[edit]
Creator, writer, director, and showrunner Sam Levinson in 2018
In 2006, Sam Levinson began drafting different versions of what eventually became Euphoria, based on his experience with drugs as a teenager.[3] He was invited to a meeting with HBO about an adaptation of the 2012 Israeli television series Euphoria created by Ron Leshem, Daphna Levin, and Tamira Yardeni.[27] In 2019, Levinson said HBO’s head of drama, Francesca Orsi, liked the «raw and honest» portrayal of drug use and other teenage problems in the Israeli series.[28] In a press release, Orsi described the series as «Kids meets Trainspotting» with no parental supervision.[29]
The concept for Euphoria was based on Levinson’s personal experiences as a teenager and his struggles with anxiety, depression, and drug addiction.[30][31] In a meeting with Orsi, he recalled: «We just had a conversation about just life and her life and my life and various struggles that, you know, we’ve been through and things and she said, ‘Great, you know, well go and write that’ and I said ‘What?’ and she goes ‘Everything we just talked about'».[27] Levinson has also cited teenage anxiety as a whole as an influence for the series: «There is this consistent anxiety that I think exists in this generation that I think informed the whole filmmaking process.»[32]
In June 2017, it was reported that the series was in development at HBO.[33]
Production team[edit]
Euphoria is a co-production of The Reasonable Bunch, A24, Little Lamb, DreamCrew, and HBO Entertainment.[34] It has 16 executive producers, including Levinson, Leshem, Levin, Yardeni, Hadas Mozes Lichtenstein, Mirit Toovi, Yoram Mokadi, Gary Lennon, Zendaya, Canadian rapper Drake, Future the Prince, Ravi Nandan, and Kevin Turen.[33][35][36] The pilot episode, «Pilot», was directed by Augustine Frizzell.[37]
Levinson has served as Euphoria‘s showrunner since its premiere, and has written every episode.[36] He has directed every episode except the Pilot and the season one episodes «03 Bonnie and Clyde» and «The Next Episode»,[37][38] which were directed by Jennifer Morrison and Pippa Bianco. Zendaya will probably direct the third season’s episode.[39]
The production was given a pilot order on March 13, 2018,[40] and on July 30, it was announced that HBO had given the production a series order.[36] The series was renewed for a second season on July 11, 2019.[41]
Out of respect for the actors and extras involved, filming of nudity was conducted on a closed set, and for sex scenes, an intimacy coordinator was used.[42][43][44]
Production for season two was scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2020, with the first table read on March 11,[45] but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the production.[46][47] Production resumed in March 2021, with filming from April to November.[48]
Before the series’ second season, HBO ordered two specials. The first, «Trouble Don’t Last Always», premiered on December 6, 2020, and follows Rue as she deals with the aftermath of leaving Jules at the train station and relapsing.[49] The second, «Fuck Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob», premiered on January 24, 2021, and follows Jules’s side of the story.[50] The second episode was co-written and executive produced by Levinson and Hunter Schafer.[51] HBO announced that the special episodes would air two days early on HBO Max.[52]
On February 4, 2022, HBO renewed the series for a third season.[53] In September 2022, HBO’s CEO Casey Bloys said the series would not go beyond four seasons, and might end after season three.[54] Production of season three will start in February 2023,[55] aiming for a late 2023 release,[56] but however, scheduling conflicts caused certain delays.
Casting[edit]
From left to right, The entire cast except for Zendaya, Abrams, Dane, Demie, Domingo, Ferreira, Fike, King, and Smith are part of Gen Z.
In June 2018, it was announced that the pilot would star Zendaya, Storm Reid, Maude Apatow, Astro, Eric Dane, Angus Cloud, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Nika King, Hunter Schafer, and Sydney Sweeney.[57] In October, Algee Smith was cast to replace Astro as McKay, and that Austin Abrams had also been cast.[58] Astro reportedly quit the series after shooting the pilot as he was uncomfortable with the sexual content involving his character.[59]
In April 2020, Kelvin Harrison Jr. joined the cast, but by May 2021, he had dropped out due to scheduling conflicts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[60][61] In August, Dominic Fike, Minka Kelly, and Demetrius ‘Lil Meech’ Flenory Jr. were added to the cast.[62] On February 22, 2022, it was announced that Smith had quit the series after starring in two episodes of season 2.[63] On August 24, 2022, Ferreira announced via Instagram story that she had decided to leave the series.[64]
Filming locations and style[edit]
Primary photography takes place in Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. Ulysses S. Grant High School in Los Angeles stands in for the fictional East Highland High School.[65] According to the California Film Commission, the first season of Euphoria received $8,378,000 in incentive tax credits. The first season was filmed over a combined total of 104 days; the second season’s production costs totaled $96,685,000 after a total of 176 filming days. Subsequently, the second season received a $19,406,000 tax credit for employing over 15,000 people in California.[66]
For season one, the show was shot digitally. Starting with season two, the show was shot on Kodak Ektachrome film stock, which cinematographer Marcell Rév attributed to a desire to invoke «some sort of memory of high school.»[67]
For season three, Rue’s sobriety journey, Zendaya opened up about exploring characters outside high school,[68] with possible filming locations of New York City, Singapore, and Warner Bros. Studios lots in Burbank and Leavesden.[citation needed]
From left to right, for season three, the locations of Manhattan and Marina Bay are planned filming locations, to inspire Westworld, as Rue’s sobriety journey.
Episode titles[edit]
Many of the episode titles for season one are references to late-1990s and early-2000s song titles that correlate to the episode itself. For instance, «’03 Bonnie and Clyde» is a reference to the 2002 Jay-Z and Beyoncé song of the same name. The loyal relationship between Nate Jacobs and Maddy Perez in the episode mirrors that between Jay-Z and Beyoncé in the song.[69][6] For season two, many of the episode titles are references to books and quotes.
Controversy[edit]
Some commentators and organizations have criticized the series’ explicit content, including self-harm, excessive drug use, and sexual material.[70] The conservative media advocacy group Parents Television and Media Council called the series «dark, depraved, degenerate and nihilistic» and asked HBO and AT&T to end it.[71] Common Sense Media, which provides information on media’s suitability for children, also noted the strong adult themes and advised against teenage viewership.[72] One scene involving more than 30 shots of penises was criticized by both critics and supporters, with Esquire calling it «pointlessly gratuitous».[73] The Guardian wrote that writers and producers should find new and different ways to shock audiences.[74] In 2022, Minka Kelly said she felt discomfort at the quantity of nude scenes in the series.[75] Drug Abuse Resistance Education criticized the series’ depiction of drug use, saying that it «chooses to misguidedly glorify and erroneously depict high school student drug use addiction … and other destructive behaviors as common in today’s world”.[76] Samuel Getachew wrote in a Culture piece for Vogue that the series’ depictions of trauma aestheticizes it in a way that his «generation is particularly vulnerable to».[77] HBO defended the series against the Season 2 shoot allegations, writing: «The well-being of cast and crew on our productions is always a top priority. The production was in full compliance with all safety guidelines and guild protocols. It’s not uncommon for drama series to have complex shoots, and COVID protocols add an additional layer. We maintain an open line of communication with all the guilds, including SAG-AFTRA. There were never any formal inquiries raised.»[78]
Criticism[edit]
Zendaya issued a viewer discretion warning on social media.
Levinson acknowledged the controversies over the series’ content, saying that some parents will be «totally fucking freaked out».[79] Augustine Frizzell, who directed the series’ pilot episode, said that the explicit content should help foster a conversation between parents and teenagers.[80] Levinson also said that he hopes the series «opens up a dialogue» due to the «disconnect between parents and teenagers».[81] Zendaya issued a warning both before the series and season 2 premiere about its «deeply emotional subject matter».[82] HBO voiced objections to some sexually graphic scenes, but said it would not interfere with the series’ «creative process».[79] The series includes viewer discretion warnings and a website for mental health and other support group resources.[83][84] The series has reportedly been censored for sexual or violent content in countries like Malaysia,[85] the Philippines,[86] Singapore,[87] and Vietnam.
Release[edit]
The series premiered on June 16, 2019, on HBO. In Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, it premiered on June 17, 2019, through HBO Asia.[88] In Australia, it premiered on June 17, 2019, through Foxtel.[89] In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, it premiered on August 6, 2019, through Sky Atlantic.[90] The specials were released on December 6, 2020[f] (as Part 1: Rue) and January 24, 2021[g] (as Part 2: Jules).

Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]

Specials[edit]
The first of the series’ two special episodes, «Trouble Don’t Last Always», received widespread critical acclaim for its writing, performances, and shift in tone and content from the first season. On Rotten Tomatoes, the episode has a score of 97%, with an average rating of 8.44/10 based on 23 critical reviews. The website’s critical consensus reads, «Euphoria slows down the tempo without losing the beat in a special episode that pairs a raw Zendaya with a steady Colman Domingo to create small screen magic.»[102] On Metacritic, the episode has a weighted average score of 84 out of 100, based on 10 reviews, indicating «universal acclaim».[103]
The second of the two special episodes, «Fuck Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob», also received critical acclaim, with particular praise for Schafer’s performance and writing, as well as the episode’s distinctive directorial approach, emotional resonance, and exploration of trans identity.

The series’ premiere averaged 577,000 viewers in its time slot, a number that increased to one million after the same-night linear replay and preliminary viewing on HBO Go/Now.

Music[edit]
Labrinth composed original music for the series.
Euphoria‘s score was composed by English singer, songwriter, and record producer Labrinth.[167] The song «All for Us», performed by Labrinth and Zendaya, is hinted at throughout season 1 before being performed as a large musical number at the end of the season finale.[168] Labrinth makes an appearance in the series alongside Zendaya to perform their song «I’m Tired».[169]
When you look back to your teenage days, it feels semi-magical but semi-crazy and semi-psychotic. I wanted to make sure the music felt like those things.
—Labrinth to Rolling Stone[167]
The series also makes extensive[170] use of popular music, including hip hop, trap, R&B, experimental, indie rock, standards and doo-wop, with some episodes featuring over 20 songs.[171][172] For their work on Euphoria‘s first season, music supervisors Jen Malone (who also supervises the FX series Atlanta) and Adam Leber won the 2020 Guild of Music Supervisors Award for Best Music Supervision in a Television Drama.[173]
Scores[edit]
The score album for the first season was released by Sony Masterworks through Milan Records on October 4, 2019 for digital download.[174] The album was also released on vinyl on January 10, 2020.[175] The score has been described as «the holy lilt of gospel, orchestral and electronic» and was favorably reviewed by Variety.[176]
The score album for the second season was released by Columbia Records on April 22, 2022, in digital and physical formats. Like the previous one, it was composed and produced by Labrinth.[177]

The soundtrack to season 2 was released digitally by Interscope Records on March 4, 2022, with CDs releasing on May 13, 2022, and vinyl on July 29, 2022.[181][182][183] The album’s release was preceded by seven singles, «Watercolor Eyes» by Lana Del Rey, «How Long» by Tove Lo, «(Pick Me Up) Euphoria» by James Blake featuring Labrinth, «Sad4Whattt» by EricDoa, «Yeh I Fuckin’ Did it» by Labrinth, «I’m Tired» by Labrinth and Zendaya, and «Elliot’s Song» by Dominic Fike and Zendaya.[184][185][186][187][188]
In an interview with IndieWire, Labrinth stated of the soundtrack’s religious undertones: «We spoke about using organs because of a lot of the religious influences in the show, especially with Rue. We wanted a lot of the sounds edging towards a religious sound. And because I love both Pentecostal and Catholic sounds, I kind of was like trying to merge them both together.»[177]

Сериал «Эйфория» был тепло встречен зрителями, хотя не все поняли смысл, а затем потребовали объяснение концовки. Вопреки популярному мнению проект не так прост, как кажется сначала. Он рассказывает об общих проблемах, но при этом делает неожиданные акценты. Зрителю приходится подстраиваться под сценаристов, находить для себя новые смыслы, искать решения самостоятельно.
Описание сериала
«Эйфория» – это драматический сериал о подростках от сценариста Сэма Левинсона. Базовый сюжет для написания сценария – израильский мини-сериал с похожим названием. Сегодня снято только 2 сезона этого сериала. Первый стартовал летом 2019 года.
Центр сюжета – это история Ру Беннет, роль которой исполняет Зендая Коулманн. Девушка появилась на свет через несколько дней после всемирной катастрофы – террористического акта, когда в Америке пали башни-близнецы.
К 17-летнему возрасту Ру уже пережила многое. Например, она потеряла близкого человека, затем употребляла запрещенные препараты, а позднее даже загремела в больницу с диагнозом «передозировка». После того, как Ру прошла курс лечения, она сразу же отправилась к наркоторговцу.
Сериал построен так: героиня сама рассказывает о случившемся, она повествует об этом за кадром. Текст выглядит как голосовое сообщение. Это как бы подтверждает принадлежность к новому поколению, привыкшему общаться через мессенджеры.
Проблемой подростков становится факт того, что все видят их совсем не так, как они хотят. Интрига закручивается вокруг трансгендерной девушки по имени Джулс. Казалось бы, именно эта проблема должна быть главной. Но на самом деле у Джулс, как раз, все хорошо. Вокруг других персонажей начинают образовываться проблемы: возникают безответные чувства, появляется никому ненужная любовная связь.
Каждая серия изобилует эпизодами с второстепенными персонажами. Но о них зритель узнает от Ру. Таким образом, зритель получает информацию не только о герое, но также знакомится с его окружением.
Смысл сюжета
Сценаристы разрабатывают разные типажи, наделяют привычными рутинными проблемами. Когда герои начинают казаться шаблонными, то ситуация резко меняется. При этом сценаристы как бы подчеркивают, что каждый герой соответствует месту, которое занимает в обществе. А на самом деле происходящее в голове героя не известно никому.
Объяснение концовки
Сериал еще не завершен. Но создатели заявили, что сценария хватит минимум на пять частей. Первый сезон заканчивается тем, что главная героиня Ру попадает в больницу. У нее диагностируют проблемы с почками. Ру сообщает тем же способом, что и обычно, что обожает больницы. Здесь, по ее мнению, можно спокойно отдохнуть от рутинных дел, отлежаться и отоспаться.
Затем на площадке появляется Джулс. Сначала подруги выясняют отношения, но затем мирится. Как обычно, выясняется, что они по-разному смотрят на многие вещи. Джулс вновь говорит что-то, что раздражает Ру.
Ру и Джулс хотят уехать из города на поезде. Но, уже почти собравшись, Ру понимает: она не сможет этого сделать. В конечном итоге Джулс все же уезжает, а Ру лишь смотрит на уходящий поезд. Когда Беннет приходит домой, над ней нависает приступ паники. Воспоминания о погибшем отце, о сестре, о ссорах с матерью охватывают ее. Она не находит в себе сил справиться с ним самостоятельно, и поэтому решается на принятие наркотической дозы, как в старые добрые времена.
Ру с Джулс собираются уехать из города. Они покупают билеты, но перед самым поездом Ру понимает, что не может этого сделать. Она отказывает Джулс, тогда та садится и уезжает одна. Ру приходит домой, на нее нападает приступ паники. Она вновь вспоминает о потерях, кричит, что больше не способна справляться со всем самостоятельно.
Концовка заставляет признать один вывод. Не следует причинять боль никому, особенно тем, кто любит вас. Нужно любит всех вокруг, стараться неси любовь, только тогда у людей может что-то получиться.
Что стало с главными героями
Можно считать, что главные герои сериала остались на тех же позициях, что и с самого начала. Для истории ценность получили такие персонажи, как Кэт, Мэдди, Кэсси и Джулс. Именно Мэдди произносит перед окончанием второго сезона фразу: «Это только начало».
Эти же слова можно смело отнести ко всему шоу. Вторая часть показала, что потенциал сериала «Эйфория» достаточно велик. Но, помимо этого, нет четкой направленности, поэтому произойти с персонажами может всякое.

Чем новый сериал HBO о подростках похож на старое инди-кино о потерянных поколениях? Рассказывает Денис Ларионов. Осторожно: в тексте имеются спойлеры!
Пока Netflix готовит нам продолжение комедийного сериала «Половое воспитание», посвященного теме юношеской сексуальности, на HBO выходит «Эйфория» Сэма Левинсона («Нация убийц», яркой Instagram-стилистике которой «Эйфория» явно наследует) — снятая по мотивам одноименного израильского сериала 2012—2013 годов тревожная драма о наркотиках, сексе, рэпе, почти заявка на манифест целого поколения американцев, рожденных в нулевые.
Оригинал, кстати, тоже претендовал на портрет поколения (но предыдущего — действие там происходит в 1990-е и заканчивается плохо), снятый объективом «рыбий глаз», и критики сравнивали его с соответствующим американским кино — «Слоном» Ван Сента или «Детками» Ларри Кларка. В связи с ремейком HBO можно вспомнить еще и Грегга Араки, в кинотрилогии «поколения DOOM» («Полный П.», «Поколение игры DOOM» и «Нигде») поместившего своих юных героев, выброшенных на обочину позднего общества потребления, в странное чистилище между скукой и трипом, между реальным и виртуальным мирами.
Теперь герои Араки выросли (в этом важное отличие новой «Эйфории»: израильский сериал был населен исключительно подростками) и пытаются совладать уже с собственными детьми, которые оказываются более жесткими, отчаянными и откровенными, чем их родители. Конечно же, консервативный цензурный совет Parents Television Counsil уже раскритиковал откровенные сцены «Эйфории», особенно отметив эпизод в мужской душевой, богатый фронтальной обнаженкой. В одном только пилоте, по подсчетам THR, показывают не менее 30 пенисов, а ведь в сериале еще есть мастер-класс по рассылке dick pics!
Главных персонажей в «Эйфории» несколько, но центральное место занимает Ру (ее играет молодая и модная звезда кино и телевидения Зендея), родившаяся в десятых числах сентября 2001 года. Роддом и руины башен-близнецов, на которых выступает Джордж Буш-младший, показаны встык, что намекает нам на то, что Ру — это и есть сегодняшняя Америка, вот уже 18 лет живущая после конца света.
Большую часть своей вполне постапокалиптической жизни Ру принимала разнообразные психотропные препараты, которые должны были помочь ей справиться с расстройством. С каким — непонятно. Его так и не смогли классифицировать бесчисленные специалисты, и этот выпад в адрес психофармакологии — еще одна точка пересечения «Эйфории» с фильмами 1990-х про поколение прозака. С годами таблетки помогают ей все меньше и меньше, зато эффективно (и эффектно) давят эмоциональную сферу, делая Ру равнодушной ко всему происходящему вокруг. Надо ли говорить, что это травмирует ее гораздо больше, чем мнимое психическое расстройство? Однажды Ру идет на вечеринку и закидывается всем, что только находит на столе, наконец-то достигая состояния, которое вынесено в название сериала и которое она уже никогда не сможет забыть. С этого дня психостимуляторы и другие вещества надолго становятся поддержкой, которая, увы, имеет и обратную сторону (мы не раз видели ее в многочисленных фильмах про ужасы наркозависимости).
Через некоторое время Ру в первый, но не последний раз оказывается в рехабе, возвращаясь из которого видит прекрасную Джулс (транс-модель Хантер Шафер), проезжающую мимо на велосипеде. Вскоре они познакомятся поближе — конечно, на вечеринке. В отличие от Ру, Джулс живет очень интенсивно, не давая себя в обиду заносчивым токсичным юнцам, но в то же время анонимно встречается для жесткого секса с криптосадистами из приложения для гей-знакомств (Джулс, как Шафер, трансгендер). Одному из таких персонажей — Нэйту (Джейкоб Элорди), капитану школьной сборной по американскому футболу, как огня боящемуся своей гомосексуальности — посвящена отдельная сюжетная линия, не особенно оригинальная, но захватывающая. Тема трудного сексуального самоопределения продолжена в линии корпулентной Кэт, которая, обнаружив в сети секс-ролик со своим участием, решила не убиваться по этому поводу, а сделать BDSM-видеочат источником доходов (и немалых).
Сэм Левинсон не стремится погружать своих персонажей в психологические бездны. Прежде всего он стремится найти визуальный эквивалент их состоянию, которое не назовешь внутренним: все, что происходит с Ру, Джулс, Кэт и даже Нэйтом, лежит на поверхности. Раньше бы эстетику «Эйфории» назвали клиповой, но сегодня она смотрится предельно реалистичной, привычной. Мир, в котором живут герои, создается из фрагментов реальности, отраженных в зеркале (куда часто смотрится Ру) и снятых на смартфон. Героев поочередно бросает из тусклой, натуралистически унылой и устроенной родителями повседневности, где надо быть хорошим учеником/ученицей и сыном/дочерью, в неоновый трип, из которого не хочется выходить. Сэм Левинсон, на личном опыте знающий, что такое проблемы с препаратами, четко разделяет два этих состояния (особенно в случае Ру). Он не жалеет красок и рапидов для синтетического мира праздника с его искаженным восприятием времени и пространства (в одной из запоминающихся сцен героиня Зендеи вдруг обнаруживает себя идущей по потолку, как в «Начале» Нолана) и отказывается от каких бы то ни было формальных изысков при демонстрации скучного семейного быта.
Тему трудного взросления никак не назовешь плохо разработанной в кино. И характеры героев, и направление их трансформации заведомо понятны, как и общее направление сюжета «Эйфории»: не все умрут, но всем придется стать старше. Другой вопрос: как скоро и какой ценой? Нелинейная, калейдоскопическая композиция сериала, то забегающая далеко вперед, то медленно возвращающаяся обратно, уравнивает события прошлого и будущего. А настоящего (во всех смыслах) у персонажей как бы и нет: оно либо затерялось на просторах бэд-трипа, либо отдано многочасовой бесплодной переписке в мессенджере или сессии на вебкаме.
Эта гротескная драма взросления может показаться шокирующей правдой, но стоит иметь в виду, что Instagram подростка говорит, скорее, о том, кем он хочет казаться. В случае «Эйфории», очевидно, позирует сам HBO. Чутко среагировав на повестку момента и убрав жесткую обнаженку даже из последних сезонов «Игры престолов», с сериалом Левинсона канал возвращается к своей традиционной репертуарной политике «это не порно, это HBO». Конечно, «Эйфория» не поворот назад под маской «озабоченности проблемами подрастающего поколения». Это шоу слишком нишевое, чтобы определять тренды. Но это точно удачный повод для споров и дискуссий в медиа. Тем более что и 34-летний Левинсон и актеры (например, дочка Джадда Апатоу, Мод) в своих интервью намекают на то, что тоже когда-то ходили по потолку и очень при этом страдали от безысходности.
Сериал доступен зрителям HBO, «Амедиатеки» и КиноПоиска по подписке «КиноПоиск + Амедиатека».

Джулс сначала отказывается, решив вместо этого встретиться с немолодым мужчиной из приложения для знакомств. Ру приходит домой поздно вечером, и мать заставляет ее пройти тест на наркотики. Чтобы выкрутиться, Ру просит чистую мочу у своей подруги детства – Лекси. Маккей и его друг Нейт говорят о прошлом своей одноклассницы Кэсси, и обнаруживается, что Кэсси и Маккей встречаются. Человек, которого встречает Джулс, оказывается отцом Нейта. Она врет о своем возрасте, и дает ему воспользоваться случаем; после она отправляется на вечеринку.

Здесь, в школе, она – лузер, но в сети – знаменитость, с которой все хотят познакомиться. После инцидента с фентанилом Джулс говорит Ру, что она не будет дружить с ней, если та продолжит употребление. На своей встрече анонимных наркоманов Ру говорит о том, что она 60 дней трезва, но один из участников их группы – Али – знает, что Ру лжет. Кэт проводит первые онлайн-встречи перед вебкой с незнакомцами и использует полученные деньги, чтобы сменить имидж. Ру помогает Джулс сфотографировать себя после того, как Тайлер из сети показывает ей свои откровенные фото. Ру, не в силах признаться Джулс в своих чувствах, крадет таблетки из ее кухни. Кэсси приходит на студенческую вечеринку с Маккеем. Мэдди сбита с толку, когда находит несколько откровенных снимков на телефоне Нейта. Ру и Джулс спорят после того, как Джулс раскрывает свои планы встретиться с Тайлером ночью наедине. Позже Ру извиняется и их разговор заканчивает тем, что Ру целует Джулс. Расстроенная Ру идет к Фецко за очередной дозой, но он отказывается ей даже открывать дверь.

Ру встречается с Али и обсуждает свои чувства к Джулс. На карнавале Нейт и Мэдди ссорятся, в то время как Джулс и Ру соглашаются забыть о поцелуе ради дружбы. Во время разговора с отцом Нейта – Кэлом – Маккей отказывается называть Кэсси своей девушкой из-за ее репутации, тем самым, расстраивая ее. Мэдди устраивает сцену перед семьей Нейта, чтобы ее восприняли всерьез, в то время как Кэсси флиртует со своим одноклассником Даниэлем. Джулс обнаруживает, что человека из мотеля зовут Кэл и это отец Нейта, о чем она тут же сообщает Ру. Кэт тусуется с Итаном, но уходит, когда видит, что он разговаривает с привлекательной девушкой, а позже развлекается с одним из парней. Ру и Джулс ищут Джию и, в конце концов, Ру находит ее с другими людьми под кайфом. Нейт хватает Мэдди, оставляя синяки на ее шее. Она ссорится с ним по поводу фотографий из его телефона. Кэл противостоит Джулс, но она заверяет его, что ничего никому не расскажет.

Киноафиша освещает самые главные моменты финала второго сезона «Эйфории», а также делает предположения о дальнейшем будущем главных героев. Спойлеров будет много!
О чем была последняя серия «Эйфории»?
28 февраля состоялся финал «Эйфории» – главного сериала о поколении Z. В какой-то степени восьмой эпизод плавно перетекает из седьмого. Не зря предыдущая серия закончилась фразой «продолжение следует…». Пьеса Лекси разворачивается с новой силой, Эш и Феско противостоят полиции, а Ру разбавляет все воспоминаниями из прошлого и будущего. Другие герои перестают быть простыми наблюдателями представления и берут все в свои руки.
Эш и Феско
Самой драматичной линией финала стала история братьев-наркодилеров. Оказавшись в ловушке из-за приближающегося отряда полиции, герои должны как можно скорее принять решение. Ко всему прочему, на диване лежит убитый Кастер, а Фей в состоянии шока наблюдает за происходящим. Если Феско пытается спасти Эша и взять всю ответственность на себя, то младший брат готов биться до последнего. Трагическая развязка стала, пожалуй, сильнейшим моментом всего сериала. Пока Лекси, судорожно проверяя сообщения, ждет своего нового друга, раненый герой Ангуса Клауда становится свидетелем убийства самого родного человека.
Минута славы Лекси
После того как в первом сезоне Сэм Левинсон оставил персонажа Мод Апатоу в тени остальных героев, второй сезон раскрыл молодую девушку с новых, порой неожиданных сторон. В самый разгар пьесы на сцену выбегает озлобленная Кэсси и выливает на сестру всю злость после расставания с Нейтом. Однако постановку так просто не испортить – благодаря гениальности Лекси и верности ее команды, настоящие эмоции органично вплетаются в материю спектакля. Зрительный зал ликует, скандирует имя юного режиссера и ждет продолжения шоу. Виновнице шумихи не остается ничего, кроме как взять себя в руки и достойно завершить начатое.
Кэсси и Мэдди
Конфликт двух бывших подруг достигает кульминации на школьном спектакле. Следом за Кэсси на сцену забирается Мэдди, но ей нужны вовсе не слова, а возможность поквитаться с той, которая ее предала. После нескольких пощечин и игр в догонялки девушки оказываются в женском туалете, где и происходит один из самых важных диалогов сериала. Уставшая Кэсси произносит, что Нейт бросил ее еще до завершения пьесы. На что Мэдди отвечает: «Не переживай, это только начало». В столь минималистичной сцене Левинсон демонстрирует, как одна девушка, выбравшись из абьюзивных отношений, «передает эстафету» другой. Остается только надеяться, что Кэсси удастся спасти себя раньше, чем это сделала ее сверстница.
Нейт и его отец Кэл
После того как Лекси высмеяла главного красавца школы, тот, едва сдерживая агрессию, выбегает из зала и уходит в неизвестном направлении. Вскоре становится ясно, что парень держит путь к отцу – виновнику всех его психологических проблем. Вместо криков, обвинений и рукоприкладства герой выбирает более разумное решение – позволить во всем разобраться сотрудникам полиции. Второй сезон показал, что Нейт, будучи одним из самых противоречивых персонажей, понемногу все же встает на тропу искупления и исцеления.
Ру и Эллиот
В этом сезоне было немало новых героев. Одним из них стал Эллиот – приятель Ру, с которым она употребляла запрещенные вещества. Крики героини Зендеи наконец сменились благодарностью за то, что персонаж Доминика Файка и Джулс в конечном итоге спасли ее от гибели. Дружба двух наркозависимых подростков изначально выглядела сомнительной затеей, и, несмотря на глубокую привязанность и родственность душ, оба героя понимают, что им лучше быть по отдельности.
Ру и Джулс
Главная романтическая линия сериала закономерно приходит к своему концу (или, быть может, на время оставляет девушек в одиночестве). Благодаря воспоминаниям Ру, мы узнаем, что она не держит зла на бывшую девушку, а их переглядывания во время пьесы с самого начала наталкивают на мысль о неизбежном разговоре. Однако и в этот раз Сэм Левинсон избегает мелодраматизма и, вместо слезливой беседы, мастерски демонстрирует зрителю, как может завершиться первая любовь – с отчетливым чувством того, что иногда нужно просто отпустить человека.
