The HBO high-school drama Euphoria, starring Zendaya and Hunter Schafer, has been renewed for a third season. The dark coming-of-age TV show, which tackles the challenging struggles lead character Rue (Zendaya) faces with drug addiction and high-school life, has quickly attracted a loyal fan base.
Euphoria’s first season came out in 2019 with two specials arriving in the two years since then. Euphoria also features actors Nika King, Eric Dane, Angus Cloud, Algee Smith, Barbie Ferreira, Javon Walton, Dominic Fike, Storm Reid and Austin Abrams.
Written, directed and executive produced by Levinson, Euphoria has become a cultural phenomenon for its depiction of high-school life, its visual and proactive themes.
