The second season of the American teen drama television series Euphoria, based on the Israeli television series of the same name, premiered on January 9, 2022, on HBO. Series creator Sam Levinson serves as the showrunner for the season, and wrote and directed all episodes. The series follows Rue Bennett (Zendaya), a troubled teenage drug addict who struggles to get sober, find her place in the world, and adjust to her relationships after rehab.
The season features an ensemble cast of Zendaya, Maude Apatow, Angus Cloud, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Nika King, Storm Reid, Hunter Schafer, Algee Smith and Sydney Sweeney, who all return from the previous season. Javon "Wanna" Walton, Austin Abrams and Dominic Fike were added to the main cast for the season; the former two were promoted after featuring in recurring roles in the previous season. In July 2019, HBO renewed Euphoria for a second season, which began filming April 2021 after being delayed for a year by the COVID-19 pandemic, and wrapped in November 2021. The season consists of eight episodes.
The season received critical acclaim. It was nominated for 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, and received six wins, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Zendaya, Outstanding Choreography for Scripted Programming for Ryan Heffington, Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (One Hour) for Marcell Rév, Outstanding Contemporary Makeup (Non-Prosthetic), Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for Colman Domingo and Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series.
