Euphoria1/2/2024 ‘#EUPHORIA has been renewed for season 3,’ the channel captioned the clip.Īhead of season two airing, she also addressed rumours of tension between her and Levinson on the set of the show. On February 4 2022, the Euphoria Instagram account shared a short clip to Instagram to announce that season two wouldn’t be the end for Jules, Maddy, Nate, Cassie and co. While the mourning process has been arduous to say the least (seriously, what will we do without our weekly dose of Maddy’s mood swings and expertly-achieved cat eye liner?), HBO was kind enough to let us know in advance that season three of the show has been confirmed. HBO also deemed it the channel's second-most watched show since 2004 behind Game of Thrones. reported that Euphoria was the most-tweeted about show of the decade (to date) in the US with 34 million tweets. In February 2022 fans of the show tuned in to watch the finale of the eight-part season. Euphoria's edgy locker room scene is no more than a director's cut of all the butts in the locker room during Steel Magnolias.*Warning: This article contains Euphoria season one and two spoilers*Įuphoria season two came to a sweet and bitter end in early 2022, and we for one haven’t been able to stop the water works ever since.Īs of February 28 2022, episode one of Euphoria season two had approached 19 million viewers in the US, and an average of 16.3 million viewers tuned in to watch the second series’ episodes. But the closeups and the flopping and the wide shots exist as no more than a fancy technical reminder that Euphoria is able to squeeze 30 penises into one scene. But what made the scene so ineffective is that in this case, the excess of penis didn't make a point other than further suggest that Nate is surrounded by the appendage that has dictated how he views himself. The 30 penis scene ( originally slated to feature 80 penises) fits within the type of storytelling Euphoria has done across two episodes-the excess is a comment on the calamity of adolescence. The explicit nature is an obvious choice, in a way. The more grotesque or shocking or explicit, the more likely it will be perceived as noteworthy. But outside of the context of the show, it's a prime example of a growing trend in prestige television. He made a concerted effort to always maintain eye contact during those exchanges." It's all a very long-winded way of turning other penises into Nate's enemy-a reminder that his father is a serial cheater who fetishizes trans women. How they'd talk to him with their dicks hanging out. As Zendaya's voiceover explains, "He hated how casual his teammates were about being naked. That's a lot to process, so let's head back to the penises, which are abruptly folded in the crude rundown of Nate's life. Young Nate, discovering his father’s collection of homemade porn. He is only attracted to the most feminine, "perceivably weak" women, and yet at the end of the episode, he's revealed to be chatting on a hookup app with the same trans girl his father raped in Episode One. Nate's fucked up childhood manifests itself in equally fucked up anger and toxic masculinity. He's the masculine heir apparent to a very broken man who expects his son to end up like him. He's not just the son of a man who has regularly preyed upon trans women and gay men, but the son who carries that secret around after discovering his collection of homemade porn featuring his father in the act. All those penises are just a short aside in the story of Nate's life, which gets a brief overview at the top of the episode. The scene centers around Nate, the star athlete with anger issues and some serious sexual anxiety. In an era when edginess is synonymous with craft, what could have been a one-penis-five-second exchange is blown into 30 penises shot in various states, distances, and angles. But the 30 dicks of Euphoria ended up just being flopping, flaccid appendages on display in a locker room scene that fails to achieve its intended purpose. When it comes to shock value, the bar is set pretty high when the pilot of a series features Eric Dane's erect (prosthetic) penis raping a transgender teenager. On Sunday night's episode, the gaggle of penises (gaggle? crop? murder?) made their debut in the first ten minutes of "Stuntin' Like My Daddy." They were objectively fine.
