Euphoria
HBO • Apr 29, 2026An American adaptation of the Israeli show of the same name, "Euphoria" follows the troubled life of 17-year-old Rue, a drug addict fresh from rehab with no plans to stay clean. Circling in Rue's orbit are Jules, a transgender girl searching for where she belongs; Nate, a jock whose anger issues mask sexual insecurities; Chris, a football star who finds the adjustment from high school to college harder than expected; Cassie, whose sexual history continues to dog her; and Kat, a body-conscious teen exploring her sexuality. As the classmates struggle to make sense of their futures, the series tackles the teenage landscape of substance-enhanced parties and anxiety-ridden day-to-day life with empathy and candor.
Euphoria brings the same high school intensity as Heartbreak High, with characters under constant pressure and scenes that swing fast between jokes and real emotional damage. Expect raw, unsparing teen moments, jealousy, and betrayal that hit harder than the lighter romance beats.
