"Euphoria" is an American teen drama television series created and primarily written by Sam Levinson for HBO, adapted from the Israeli miniseries of the same name by Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin. The series features a cast led by Zendaya, along with Maude Apatow, Angus Cloud, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Nika King, Storm Reid, Hunter Schafer, Algee Smith, and Sydney Sweeney. The narrative centers on Rue Bennett (Zendaya), a troubled teenage drug addict navigating her journey to sobriety, seeking her place in the world, and managing her relationships after rehab. While Rue is the focal point of the series, each episode typically begins with backstories of the other main characters, enriching the overall storyline.
