“Euphoria” has captured public attention and dominated social media week-to-week in a way scarcely seen since “Game of Thrones” went off the air. Creator Sam Levinson’s provocative teen series debuted in 2019 and earned an instant following thanks to Levinson’s signature aesthetic, a fantastic young cast led by Zendaya’s Emmy-winning performance as teenage drug addict Rue Bennett, and makeup designs by Donni Davy that made the kind of cultural impact most teen shows only dream of.
Season 2 has only grown that success. The show returned in January after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, doubling its audience with the premiere, then set a new series high on Super Bowl Sunday.
