02/03/2022 - 09:19 AM

Between all the memes and fan theories, "Euphoria" [1] is having a moment! Following the show's highly anticipated season two finale, Variety reports that "Euphoria" pulled in 16.3 million viewers [2], making it HBO's second-most-watched series. In 2019, "Game of Thrones" saw 19.4 million viewers for its season eight finale. As if that wasn't impressive enough, "Euphoria [3]" is also the most-tweeted TV show of the decade in the US with a whopping 34 million tweets.

Directed and executive produced by Sam Levinson, the Emmy Award-winning drama starring Zendaya [4] follows the lives of East Highland High School students as they navigate love, loss, addiction, and trauma. The show was recently criticised by D.A.R.E. for glorifying substance abuse [5] and "anonymous sex." Ahead of its season two finale, "Euphoria" was renewed for a third season [6], which likely won't air until 2024.
