The cultural phenomenon ‘Euphoria’ officially returns to HBO Max on April 12 with a high-octane season that thrusts its core characters into young adulthood. Show creator Sam Levinson revealed that the narrative skips forward five years from the intense finale of the second season. This time jump finds Rue, played by Zendaya, struggling south of the border in Mexico while facing a dangerous debt to the drug dealer Laurie. A recently released two-minute first look provides a nail-biting preview of the challenges awaiting the group as they navigate life beyond high school.
