About “Euphoria” in a few words:

Euphoria is… well, it’s a trip. HBO, teens, chaos, emotions spilled all over like spilled soda. Rue Bennett—Zendaya, duh—is trying to survive high school, love, family drama, drugs, feelings. Everyone else? Also chaos, also complicated. It’s messy, it’s gorgeous, it makes you laugh, it makes you squirm, and somehow, you can’t look away. High school never looked this glamorous—or this exhausting.

Meet the characters from Euphoria

Rue Bennett

Oh man, Rue is like the heart and soul of Euphoria, right? She’s this raw, turbulent whirlwind of emotions, struggling with addiction and trying to find her place in the world. One minute she’s cracking jokes and being all relatable, and the next she’s spiraling and breaking your heart—like, seriously, it’s so intense! And can we talk about her narrating? It’s like you’re hearing her thoughts, and it makes everything feel so real and personal. Love her chaotic energy, but it’s also so painful to watch!

Jules Vaughn

Okay, can we just take a minute to appreciate Jules? She’s this beautiful, free-spirited artist who’s all about exploring her identity, but she’s got this depth that just hits you, you know? The contrast between her bubbly vibe and the struggles she faces is like, wow. And that hair! I mean, it’s basically iconic at this point. Oh, and her relationship with Rue is all kinds of complicated—like, you root for them, but it’s also messy, and you can’t help but be anxious about what’s gonna happen next!

Nate Jacobs

Ugh, Nate is such a complicated character! Like, one minute you’re thinking he’s just a toxic jerk, and then he has these moments that make you feel like there’s more beneath the surface. He’s all about control and power, and boy, does he take it to the extreme—like, that whole thing with his dad? Yikes. But then he’s also got this vulnerability that sneaks up on you, and it’s just…ugh, it’s infuriating and fascinating all at once! Like, you wanna hate him, but then you’re like, “Wait, what’s his deal?”

Lexi Howard

Lexi is like the underrated queen of the group! She’s got this quiet strength and a super sharp wit that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Seriously, her play was such a genius idea! It’s like she’s always observing everything around her, and you can’t help but feel for her as she navigates her friendship with Rue and the chaos of high school. Lexi’s got this relatable awkwardness, too, and I just wanna give her a hug! Such a breath of fresh air amidst all the drama!

Maddy Perez

Maddy is the definition of fierce! Like, she’s got this confidence that’s just through the roof, and you can’t help but admire her for it! But oh man, she’s also caught up in some seriously toxic stuff with Nate, which makes you wanna shake her and be like, “Girl, you deserve better!” Her fashion sense is on point, though—like, can we talk about those outfits? Iconic! She’s a total ride-or-die friend, but there are moments when you see her insecurities peek through, making her super relatable. Love her complexity!

Cassie Howard

Ah, Cassie! She’s like the sweet, endearing one but also can be a total hot mess, right? I mean, her desperation for love is just so relatable, yet it’s so heartbreaking to watch. She’s got this naive optimism that kinda makes you wanna root for her, but then she gets caught up in drama and it’s like, oh, girl, no! And that moment when she decides to take control of her own narrative? SO empowering! I genuinely wanna see her find happiness, even if she stumbles a bit along the way!
