![]() ![]() It turns out to be possibly one of the most ambitious school productions in fiction or otherwise, but could be just as explosive as her sibling’s own behaviour. Cassie’s younger sister Lexi (Maude Apatow), who felt underused last go-around, uses her status as someone on the sidelines to steal the spotlight, writing a play based on her and her classmates’ lives. The show delves into the backstories of Fez (and his grandma and adopted brother Ash) and Cal, both via flashbacks to their respective youths, the illuminating scenes explaining more about why they are the way they are. This time, we get to see more of the lives of characters who intrigued in season one. Nate’s relationship with his dad is just as tumultuous as ever, while Fezco is still hellbent on getting even with Nate for causing his house to be raided last season. Whether she’s terrifyingly calm about drug-fuelled close calls or portraying scenes of pure desperation, fear, rage and withdrawal, Zendaya’s performance is even more moving and sublime than before.Įlsewhere, Cassie can’t get comfortable with single life – although, arguably, she doesn’t put much effort in – and her search for companionship feels like a ticking time bomb set to blow up in the faces of the friendship group. Rue is back in the throes of addiction and her struggles get her into more scrapes, including one plot where she’s convinced she’s come up with an absolute galaxy brain “business” idea, but ends up plunging even closer to rock bottom. Our return to East Highland coincides with New Year’s Eve, but that doesn’t mean its residents are turning over any new leaves. Rue’s friend and dealer Fezco (Angus Cloud) gets a bigger role this season. Jules stuck to their plan and left without her and, even as she seemed to begin to grasp the impact her struggles with addiction had had on her family, Rue returned home just to break her three-month sober streak by relapsing. Rue and Jules, meanwhile, had decided to skip town together after confessing their true feelings for each other, but Rue had second thoughts while getting on the train. Nate had a breakdown after an intense argument with his dad (Eric Dane), and dealer Fezco (Angus Cloud) went against his moral code to cover his debts to his boss Mouse, robbing a wealthy doctor but killing his victim after getting caught in the act. Relationships were in tatters – Maddy (Alexa Demie) and Nate (Jacob Elordi) broke up at the winter formal, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) aborted ex-boyfriend Chris’s (Algee Smith) baby – and danger lingered like a stubborn patch of black ice. Way back in 2019, we left the students of East Highland High School in disarray. But the second full instalment of the HBO show somehow ratchets up the misery even further, bringing nearly all of its major players deeper into its web of suffering. ![]() “It’s gonna be hard and it’s gonna be devastating sometimes.” After season one’s foreboding ending and two powerful and intense special “bridge” episodes – one focusing on her character Rue and another on Hunter Schafer’s Jules – that seemed almost a given. ![]() “It’s a difficult season,” Zendaya told Teen Vogue about Euphoria season two last year. ![]()
