Will there still be a season two of Euphoria?

Yes! A full second season of the hit Gen Z drama is expected later in the year. The special episodes focusing on Rue and Jules are just serving as bridges between seasons one and two of the show while the COVID-19 pandemic makes filming a whole eight-episode season difficult.
