When is 'Euphoria' Season 2 expected to release?

The official announcement for the series' renewal was made in July 2019. Last year, HBO ordered two special episodes before the second season was released. The first episode, titled Trouble Don't Last Always, focused on Rue dealing with the aftermath of her leaving Jules at the train station and relapsing. The second episode, F*ck Anyone Who's Not a Sea Blob, followed Jules' side of the story.

The second season of Euphoria is all set to release on January 9, only on HBO Max but no official poster for the series has been released yet. According to the lead, Zendaya, there would be some strong development in the series' characters. She also added:

"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."

The upcoming season of Euphoria will see the lead cast returning with Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Angus Cloud, Eric Dane, Storm Reid, Algee Smith and Colman Domingo. The series will also see recurring guest stars as well.
