Drake’s groundbreaking HBO show, Euphoria, staring Zendaya has been renewed for a second season.
The show is the American adaptation of the Israeli show by the same name. It centers around a girl struggling with drug addiction, and follows a group of high school students as they struggle with real life issues and battle through identity, trauma, drugs, and sex. The show has already curated buzz, and has since been praised for its realistic outlook on young adulthood. The cast is star studded, and includes actors such as Zendaya, Angus Cloud, Jacob Elordi, Maude Apatow, and Barbie Ferreira.
Executive Vice President of HBO programming, Francesca Orsi, said in an interview with Hot New Hip-Hop that she is extremely grateful for the show’s creator.
“Euphoria’ creator Sam Levinson has built an incredible world with an extraordinary cast led by the supremely talented Zendaya,” Orsi said. “We are so grateful that he chose HBO as the home for this groundbreaking series. We look forward to following these complex characters as their journeys continue through the challenging world they inhabit.”
Drake serves as the executive producer for the show, which aired back in June. Given his TV show history, it seems fitting that Drake would work on the show. The 32-year-old played Jimmy Brooks on Teen Nick’s Degrassi from 2001 to 2008. The show also followed various young adults as they navigated their way through tough situations.
More information for the second season is said to be revealed soon.
