We’ve been looking forward to more details on HBO’s upcoming teen drama series, Euphoria ever since the Drake-produced series that stars Zendaya and Storm Reid was announced last year.
Luckily, HBO and A24 have released the first teaser for the show and it looks just as interested as we hoped.

The show also stars several young talents including Algee Smith, Austin Abrams, Nika King, Maude Apatow, Barbie Ferreira, Hunter Schafer and Sydney Sweeney. HBO described the project as a teen drama about “drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship” and we are intrigued.
No word on what inspired Drizzy to jump into the production game but we’re excited to see how his first project as an executive producer turns out.
