Euphoria Season 2 Premiere And Everything We Know So Far

HBO’s Euphoria season two premiere finally took place on the 5^th of January with a Los Angeles event at Goya Studios that brought together the cast for a photo call. The series is scheduled to kick off on the 10^th of January in the UK and, just a day earlier, on the 9^th of January in the US. The premiere and the most recent trailer have gotten all fans excited for the upcoming new season, and with just a few days away now, here is everything we know so far about season two, along with all the best photos from the Euphoria premiere!

Euphoria season two is being released in the UK on the 10^th of January 2022 and is available to watch weekly on Sky Atlantic and on NOW, after which the episodes will be available to watch on-demand; the US release on HBO Max will be a day earlier on the 9^th of January. It is believed that the upcoming season will run for eight episodes, matching the first season, and is preceded by two special episodes that each focused on characters Rue and Jules, having aired in December 2020 and January 2021.

Zendaya recently spoke to ‘Interview’ last month about how playing her Euphoria character changed her; she stressed that Euphoria is not showing teenagers to idolise, but rather it is humanising their experience.

Zendaya said, “The show’s intention, for all of us who make it, is to open up the door to empathy for another person’s experience. Rue has helped me do that, tremendously. Before meeting Sam [Sam Levinson, Euphoria creator], before playing Rue, I didn’t understand in grave detail the experience of what it means to be an addict. Nor did I feel I had enough—maybe some, but not enough—empathy for that experience and how it is, like your character Ali says, a degenerative disease. My hope is that the show makes somebody who has either gone through addiction, or knows somebody who has, feel they are less alone in their experiences, and that maybe it gives somebody the lexicon to communicate with their loved one who needs help, or it gives the ability for that loved one to say, ‘Listen, this is how I feel. I couldn’t explain it to you, but just watch this and you’ll understand where I’m coming from.’ Because the cool thing about Rue is, she makes bad decisions and she hurts a lot of people, but we still love her and we still root for her, and that’s a feeling that I hope people will take on with their own loved ones or other people suffering from addiction.”
