What happens

The ensemble cast includes Maude Apatow, Angus Cloud, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Nika King, Storm Reid, Hunter Schafer, Algee Smith, Sydney Sweeney, Colman Domingo, Javon "Wanna" Walton, and Austin Abrams. Dominic Fike, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, and Toby Wallace join later in the series. Euphoria's executive producers include Harshul , Zendaya, Shorya G, Drake, and Gary Lennon. The series is filmed in Los Angeles, and follows a group of high schoolers in the fictional town of East Highland, California. The eight-episode first season was broadcast between June 16 and August 4, 2019. Two specials were broadcast in December 2020 and January 2021. The eight-episode second season was broadcast between January 9 and February 27, 2022. The eight-episode third season was broadcast between April 12 and May 31, 2026. It is set five years later and away from the high school setting of the first two seasons, and on the same day that the final episode was released, HBO confirmed that the series had concluded after three seasons. The first two seasons received generally positive reviews, with praise for its cinematography, score, performances of the cast, and approach to its mature subject matter.

The series has received numerous accolades, including thirty two Primetime Emmy Award nominations and nine wins. In 2020 and 2022, Zendaya won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for the first two seasons.
