‘Euphoria’ Season 2 Gets January Release Date and First Trailer

Season 2 of “Euphoria” finally has a release date.

Emmy-winning star Zendaya made the announcement on Tuesday morning that the show will return on January 9. The sophomore season also got a first trailer.

Alongside Zendaya, who made history at the 2020 Emmys as the youngest person to win lead actress in a drama series, a majority of the cast from Season 1 returns, including Schafer, Angus Cloud, Jacob Elordi, Algee Smith, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Barbie Ferreira, Maude Apatow, Javon Walton, Storm Reid, Austin Abrams and Nika King. The new season introduces Dominic Fike, Minka Kelly and Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr.

Season 2 will explore the fallout after Rue (Zendaya) and Jules (Hunter Schafer) broke up in the Season 1 finale and as Rue goes through a drug relapse. In the Season 2 trailer, Rue dances around her house to the tune of Frank Sinatra’s “Call Me Irresponsible,” only for her younger sister (Reid) to ask if she’s high. There are also flashes of the high-school teens partying and getting into run-ins with the police.

“When you’re younger, everything feels so permanent. But as you get older, you begin to realize nothing is and everyone you love could drift away,” Rue says in the trailer.

Sam Levinson created and wrote the series and serves as an executive producer. Other executive producers include Ravi Nandan, Kevin Turen, Will Greenfield, Drake, Adel “Future” Nur, Zendaya, Hadas Mozes Lichtenstein, Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin. Kenneth Yu serves as a producer, and Ashley Levinson, Harrison Kreiss and Julio Perez are co-producers.
