Inspired by the Israeli series of the same name, “Euphoria” follows a group of high-school students as they navigate drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship. Zendaya, who rose to fame playing the role of Rocky Blue in the Disney Channel series “Shake It Up”, will be joined by Storm Reid, Maude Apatow, Brian “Astro” Bradley, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Nika King, Hunter Schafer and Sydney Sweeney.

Sam Levinson, who penned “The Wizard Of Lies”, is to write all of the episodes of the series and to act as producer along with, and among others, Drake, Future the Prince, and the duo who created the original show, Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin.

The pilot, which was commissioned by HBO last March, will be directed by Augustine Friz.
