Emmy-winning actress Zendaya is returning with another season of HBO Max's Euphoria, and it's as wild as it can get.

An American adaptation of the Israeli series Euphoria is created by Sam Levinson, with Drake as one of its producers. The series revolves around a group of high-school students as they navigate the trials and tribulations of being a teenager.

Euphoria is an exploration of love, identity, drugs, s*x, and everything there is in today's world, making it somewhat an accurate representation of teenagers today.
