HBO’s hotly anticipated series Euphoria coming to Showmax
It’s one of the most talked-about shows right now. HBO’s new series Euphoria will take an unflinching look at the dark side of being a teenager, addressing tough topics like addiction and recovery, sexual identity and trauma. It’s going to be incredible – and it’s coming to Showmax from 15 July.
Zendaya (Shake It Up, Spider-Man: Homecoming, The Greatest Showman) sheds her musical skin to play Rue Bennett, a 17 year-old recovering addict who has to navigate the pressures of high school and recovery.
The series has been lauded for casting transsexual actor Hunter Schafer as Jules, a trans girl who befriends Rue.
But while it’s already got critics excited, Zendaya herself warned fans that some of the content could be triggering for sensitive viewers.
