Zendaya has mostly been praised for her stunning acting in season two. Fans are happy that she has struck a new deal and are curious if she is making more than the actors of The Big Bang Theory.

They said that the actress carries the show and it's her acting that makes Euphoria phenomenal. Her talent has not gone unrecognized and she deserves to be paid well for her role.

What is Euphoria about?

Created by Sam Levinson, the show follows teenagers in the fictional town of East Highland, California, who seek hope while balancing different aspects of their lives.

Its official synopsis reads,

"An American adaptation of the Israeli show of the same name, "Euphoria" follows the troubled life of 17-year-old Rue, a drug addict fresh from rehab with no plans to stay clean. Circling in Rue's orbit are Jules, a transgender girl searching for where she belongs; Nate, a jock whose anger issues mask sexual insecurities; Chris, a football star who finds the adjustment from high school to college harder than expected."

It continues,

"Cassie, whose sexual history continues to dog her; and Kat, a body-conscious teen exploring her sexuality. As the classmates struggle to make sense of their futures, the series tackles the teenage landscape of substance-enhanced parties and anxiety-ridden day-to-day life with empathy and candor."

Augustine Frizzell, Sam Levinson, Jennifer Morrison and Pippa Bianco serve as its directors.
