HBO has released the first five minutes of the new season of Euphoria<\/a> ahead of the full release on April 12th.<\/p>\n Before the new clip of Sam Levinson\u2019s hit show was released, it was revealed that Zendaya\u2019s Rue is in debt to drug dealer Laurie, Hunter Schafer\u2019s Jules is an art school student, Alexa Demie\u2019s Maddy is an aspiring talent agent, and Maude Apatow\u2019s Lexi is a showrunner\u2019s assistant to Sharon Stone. <\/p>\n Additionally, Sydney Sweeney<\/a> and Jacob Elordi\u2019s characters are to be wed.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot of people ask what I\u2019ve been up to since high school. Honestly? Nothing good,\u201d Zendaya\u2019s character, Rue, reveals at the very opening of the new season, before a title card shares that she is \u201csomewhere in Chihuahua.\u201d<\/p>\n Viewers soon come to learn that Rue\u2019s car is stuck in the desert. She is forced to rely upon a helping hand from a gaggle of strangers before she is on her way once more, driving maniacally as Christopher Cross\u2019s 1979 tune \u2018Ride Like The Wind\u2019 plays.<\/p>\n Rue is carrying a curious bag in the back of her vehicle; she is seen attempting to drive her car over the top of a gate by some makeshift pillars put in place by a faceless man in exchange for the cash she hands him.<\/p>\n Throughout the first few minutes, she struggles to tip the vehicle over what appears to be the border between Mexico and the USA.<\/p>\n Abandoning the vehicle, she removes herself, along with the bag, and shimmies down the pillars.<\/p>\n Though the opening segment of the series focused only on Zendaya\u2019s plotline, plenty of famous faces are set to turn up across the forthcoming eight episodes. The series will also welcome a host of new names<\/a>, including Trisha Paytas, Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, and Eli Roth.<\/p>\n However, some familiar faces won\u2019t be returning. Storm Reid revealed in November 2024 that her character, Rue\u2019s sister Gia, would not be featured in the new season. Additionally, Barbie Ferreira, who played Kat, has since admitted<\/a> that she left the show because \u201cI wasn\u2019t showing my potential as the actress that I know that I am.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch the first five minutes below.<\/p>\n
