Development[edit]

Showrunner Sam Levinson in 2018.

On June 1, 2017, it was announced that HBO was developing an adaptation of the 2012 Israeli television series Euphoria created by Ron Leshem, Daphna Levin, and Tmira Yardeni.[1] The series is executive produced and written by Sam Levinson, who is the son of filmmaker Barry Levinson.[2][3] Leshem, Levin, Yardeni, Hadas Mozes Lichtenstein, Mirit Toovi, Yoram Mokadi, and Gary Lennon also share executive producer credits.[4] In 2019, Levinson stated HBO executive Francesca Orsi liked the "raw and honest" portrayal of drug use and other teenage issues in the Israeli series.[5] Levinson based the series on his own experiences as a teenager, including his struggles with anxiety, depression, and drug addiction.[6][7] He said, "There is this consistent anxiety that I think exists in this generation that I think informed the whole filmmaking process".[8]

On March 13, 2018, HBO programming president Casey Bloys announced at the INTV conference in Jerusalem that the network had given the production a pilot order. It was further announced that A24 would serve as a production company for the pilot.[9] In a press release, Orsi described the series "as Kids meets Trainspotting" with no parental supervision.[10] On March 27, it was announced that Augustine Frizzell would direct the pilot and serve as co-executive producer.[11] On July 30, it was announced that HBO had given the production a series order and that Levinson would write every episode. Additional executive producers were to include Drake, Future the Prince, Ravi Nandan, and Kevin Turen.[12] On July 11, 2019, the series was renewed for a second season.[13]

HBO ordered two special episodes to air before the second season. The first, "Trouble Don't Last Always", premiered on December 6, 2020, and follows Rue as she deals with the aftermath of leaving Jules at the train station and relapsing.[14] The second, "Fuck Anyone Who's Not a Sea Blob", premiered on January 24, 2021, and follows Jules's side of the story.[15] The second episode was both co-written and executive produced by Levinson and Hunter Schafer.[16] The special episodes were released on HBO Max two days before their airing on linear television.[17]

Writing[edit]

In addition to executive producing, Levinson serves as the main writer for the series. Ron Leshem, who created the original Israeli series, also co-wrote one of the HBO episodes.[18] After directing Zendaya said season 2 would contain some strong development for the characters. She also said, "It's a challenging season. It's gonna be hard and it's gonna be devastating sometimes, but I think Rue really deserves all of that care when it comes to her character, because I think she represents a lot for so many people." She later said season 2 would "not be a fun watch".[19][20]

Casting[edit]

On June 7, 2018, it was announced that the pilot would star Zendaya, Storm Reid, Maude Apatow, Astro, Eric Dane, Angus Cloud, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Nika King, Hunter Schafer, and Sydney Sweeney.[21] On October 31, it was reported that Algee Smith had been cast to replace Astro as McKay, and that Austin Abrams had also been cast.[22] In April 2020, it was announced that Kelvin Harrison Jr. had joined the cast, but in May 2021, it was announced that Harrison had dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.[23][24] In August, it was announced that Dominic Fike, Minka Kelly, and Demetrius 'Lil Meech' Flenory Jr. had joined the cast.[25]

Filming[edit]

The show is shot at multiple locations around the Greater Los Angeles area.[26] Although not explicitly stated, it is inferred that the show takes place in Southern California due to the recognizable landscapes.[27] The majority of the interior scenes are shot at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City.[28] The shopping mall scenes were shot at the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance.[29] The high school scenes were filmed at Ulysses S Grant High School in Valley Glen.[28] The school has been featured in multiple films and television shows, including Saved by the Bell and Clueless.[30] Production for season 2 was scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2020, with the first table read on March 11,[31] but was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[32][33] Production of season 2 began in March 2021, with filming lasting from April to November.[34]

Tracking shots and dollies are used extensively on the show, with some scenes involving more than 300 feet of continuous tracking shots.[35] Cinematographer Marcell Rév stated that both himself and Sam Levinson wanted to show the series through the "character's emotion" rather than a third person view of a scene.[36] They coined the term "emotional realism" and had to base the technical aspects of the scene on what the character is feeling.[37] A number of intimacy coordinators are also involved the scenes involving sexual content.[38] The show was one of the first series to be required by HBO to have an intimacy coordinator on-set for all sex scenes.[39]

Music[edit]

Euphoria's score is by English singer, songwriter, and record producer Labrinth. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he said, "When you look back to your teenage days, it feels semi-magical but semi-crazy and semi-psychotic. I wanted to make sure the music felt like those things."[40] The song "All for Us", performed by Labrinth and Zendaya, is hinted at throughout season 1 before being performed as a large musical number at the end of the season finale.[41]

The show also makes unusually extensive[42] use of popular music, including hip-hop, trap, R&B, experimental, indie rock, standards and doo-wop, with some episodes featuring over 20 songs.[43][44] For their work on Euphoria's first season, music supervisors Jen Malone (who also supervises Atlanta) and Adam Leber won the 2020 Guild of Music Supervisors Award for Best Music Supervision in a Television Drama.[45]
