The story of "Euphoria" is "ultimately a tragic one - but it's also the truth", Levinson told the "New York Times". "If you experiment with drugs or take drugs today, it's very likely to kill you." Zendaya had previously hinted at the end of the series.

The focus is on drug addict Rue (Zendaya), who returns to her everyday life after rehab, but is repeatedly caught up in her addiction, relapses and psychological problems. She befriends her classmate Jules (Hunter Schafer), who is trans and bisexual.
It also tells the story of characters like Nate (Jacob Elordi), a popular toxic male football player with anger and violence issues. He begins an affair with Cassie(Sydney Sweeney), who is looking for love and validation from men.
