Euphoria: special episodes 1-2
Zendaya became the youngest ever best actress Emmy winner this year for her performance in Euphoria as Rue, a 17-year-old who returns home from rehab with no plans to stay clean, and falls for the new girl in town, Jules (played by trans superstar Hunter Schafer).
Euphoria also won 2020 Emmys for Original Music and Lyrics for All For Us by Labrinth, as well as Contemporary Makeup (Non-Prosthetic).
Now the hit HBO drama is back with two special episodes. Part 1, Trouble Don’t Last Always, follows Rue as she celebrates Christmas, in the aftermath of the train station and falling back into old habits.
In episode 2, F**k Anyone Who’s Not A Sea Blob, we finally get Jules’s side of the story and catch up with her over the holidays as she reflects on the year behind her.
