Euphoria is not a movie but a critically acclaimed American teen drama television series created by Sam Levinson for HBO, starring Zendaya as Rue Bennett, a troubled teenager navigating addiction, identity, and relationships.

The show, based on an Israeli miniseries of the same name, follows Rue after her release from rehab as she struggles to stay sober while dealing with the complexities of high school life. Alongside Rue, the series explores the lives of her peers—Jules, Nate, Maddy, Cassie, Kat, and others—each grappling with their own battles involving love, trauma, sexuality, and self-discovery. Known for its raw portrayal of modern adolescence, Euphoria combines striking cinematography, bold storytelling, and an evocative soundtrack by Labrinth to deliver a visceral exploration of youth culture. Since its debut in 2019, the series has earned widespread praise for its performances, particularly Zendaya’s Emmy-winning role, and has become a cultural touchstone for its unflinching look at issues like substance abuse, mental health, and identity in the digital age.
