HBO has released the trailer for upcoming teen drama Euphoria and in it, we see relationships forming, identities in flux, and the pleasure and pain of our most formative years in full view.
Based on the Israeli drama of the same name, with Sam Levinson (The Wizard of Lies) adapting for American television and Drake executive producing, Euphoria follows a group of high school students as they navigate drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love, and friendship.
In addition to Zendaya, Euphoria stars Maude Apatow (This Is 40), Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy), Alexa Demie (Mid90s), Jacob Elordi (The Kissing Booth), Barbie Ferreira (Divorce), Nika King (Greenleaf), Storm Reid (A Wrinkle in Time), Algee Smith (The New Edition Story), Sydney Sweeney (Everything Sucks!), and newcomers Angus Cloud and Hunter Schafer.
