Finally, some good news in 2022 — Euphoria is (finally, yes, finally) BACK with its long-awaited second season! Starring Emmy-winner Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Angus Cloud, Dominic Fike, Alexa Demie, Barbie Ferreira, Maude Apatow, Nika King, Eric Dane, Austin Abrams, Algee Smith, Storm Reid, and Javon Walton, we will be getting new episodes Sundays at 9PM ET/PT on HBO and HBO Max.
Just as important as Zendaya or Hunter Schafer’s characters are to the story, so is the music that soundtracks and scores each scene from this truly one-of-a-kind series.
Labrinth quite literally creates a musical labyrinth to get lost inside of, crafting a sensational score that can be wholeheartedly enjoyed as a stand-alone project.
Music supervisor Jen Malone meticulously selects and curates a batch of songs that other shows only wish they could. Some song choices seem obvious for a show like Euphoria, but the way they’re individually and collectively interpolated makes for such a special experience.
These songs fit together in such a way that is so seamless and perfect, you really can’t imagine them any other way.
Let’s get into the songs featured in Euphoria season two (note: very mild spoilers ahead)…
