We have been getting some sense of what EUPHORIA is all about, but not the complete story arc. All will soon be made clear as the series sets a premiere date & time. Here are details offered via a press release:
The drama series EUPHORIA begins its eight-episode season SUNDAY, JUNE 16 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT). The show follows a group of high school students as they navigate drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship. Zendaya leads an ensemble cast that also includes Maude Apatow, Angus Cloud, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Nika King, Storm Reid, Hunter Schafer, Algee Smith and Sydney Sweeney. All episodes created and written by Sam Levinson, who also serves as executive producer. Other executive producers include Drake, Future the Prince, Ravi Nandan, Kevin Turen, Hadas Mozes Lichtenstein, Ron Leshem, Daphna Levin, Tmira Yardeni, Mirit Toovi, Yoram Mokady, Gary Lennon and Jim Kleverweis. Produced in partnership with A24 and based on the Israeli series of the same name, which was created by Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin, from HOT.
Again, not much to go on but the new Teaser may help.
The intent here people is this – HBO is adapting this Israeli teen drama to help expand its audience base. HBO has not had a series geared for a teenage audience. There is no scripted series on the sites that are about teenagers and their stories. GIRLS missed that age bracket and HBO KIDS series are all for preschool and tween ages. HBO is boldly putting this series into play and clearly addresses the choices, the dangers, the feelings of the modern teenager faces. That is not to say anyone older can’t get into the tale; I’m sure HBO is counting on that. The journey starts on 06.16. Will you get caught up in the EUPHORIA?
