What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. with Clevver News,
and we are all patiently waiting for Season 2 of Euphoria.
The cast of Euphoria has been given the green light to begin filming for
the show’s second season, fans are going to work and eagerly
predicting what could possibly happen following last season’s shocking finale.
As we all continue to lose sleep over the major cliffhanger that went down after the
first season of HBO’s Euphoria, new updates have been made regarding Season 2’s production.
We can all now sleep peacefully knowing that Season 2 is underway, all thanks to many fans,
who have shared footage to social media featuring some of the cast while filming.
Photos have also been posted to social media of
Zendaya and her costar Hunter Schafer wearing masks onset.
Z also made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last month,
where she revealed to Jimmy’s guest host Ben Platt that we may get a little something to
hold us over until they figure out how to film an entire season during a pandemic.
She said QUOTE, “We might end up doing a little bridge episode.
I don't really know how to describe it, but an episode that we can do with a limited
amount of people in a safer environment that can, I don't know, give people something.”
But while we wait for a confirmed release date for the upcoming season, fans can’t stop
thinking about what to expect, including some of the most talked-about season 2 fan theories.
But before we begin, I just wanted to issue a quick spoiler warning,
so if you haven’t yet finished Season 1, first off, WHY NOT, and secondly,
please only continue watching if you’re ok with hearing how it ends.
Alright, so at the end of Season 1, which took place at prom,
we witnessed the devastating breakup between Zendaya’s character Rue and her love interest
Jules, as Rue decided to not to board the train with Jules after planning their escape together.
What is probably the most obvious conclusion following the finale
was that Rue overdosed once again, and potentially this time it was fatal.
While wearing her dad’s hoodie during the final scene, Rue stumbles through the house
in what appears to be a narcotic relapse as her father is the only one who can actually see her.
One fan theory, however, suggests that Rue DID actually relapse, but that she didn’t die.
Reason being, as this user put it, seeing her dad was a near-death experience, because QUOTE,
“When she was going through the house, Gia and her mom couldn’t see her, but her dad could.
Almost like she was close to death and then he pushed her away.”
The user also pointed out the familiar song in the final scene, adding,
“Everytime Rue is tempted by drugs when sober, this song plays.”
Another theory suggests that the song, which many pointed out was the same song that played
when Rue first overdosed, suggests that this scene is merely a flashback to the first time,
and that this finale scene is some sort of rebirth
given the fact that she chose to stay back with her family instead of escaping town with Jules.
This Reddit user said, “I think it’s just what Rue was seeing while she was blacked out from
her overdose during the summer before junior year. If you didn’t realize already “All For
Us” was playing in the background while they put her in the ambulance after Gia called for her OD,
“All For Us” was also the song used at the ending of Euphoria after Rue’s relapse.”
Speaking of Gia, the future appears to look pretty grim for Rue’s little
sister as many believe that she is set to spiral and follow in Rue’s footsteps
after experimenting with weed at the school carnival earlier in the season.
Although she seems to be fully aware of how drugs can lead to a dark path after taking
a backseat to Rue’s experience, fans believe Gia may be getting herself into much deeper trouble.
Storm Reid, who plays Gia, even teased her own storyline in the upcoming season, saying QUOTE,
“Gia’s becoming her own person… and she’s getting
her own storyline which is very exciting so I’m excited to start that very soon.”
Many even believe that Rue and Gia could potentially switch roles,
as Rue strives to get her life back on track while Gia takes a downward spiral.
One character who could potentially spiral, however, is Cassie,
especially after she made the decision to have an abortion in Season 1.
The fact that fans never really found out how Cassie emotionally dealt with the aftermath
has left many to believe that she may spiral and end up ODing herself.
One Reddit user suggested this wild theory regarding Cassie,
predicting that she will also begin to spiral after becoming depressed
about secretly wanting to keep the baby, while McKay felt differently.
The theory also ropes in Fez, as well as Mouse, who previously had it out for Fez,
but rather than killing him, Mouse lets him live.
The theory then says, “I feel like her character is the next to have a mental breakdown, so
what’s stopping her from doing drugs? Nothing -- she already
drinks to get drunk to help solve her problems or numb her pain.”
The Reddit user also shared a romantic part to this theory, adding, “Where would she get the
drugs to OD off of? Fez. She is 18, so if they did somehow have a romantic connection in the future,
it wouldn’t be that surprising. She is one of the nicest characters,
and Fez, I’m pretty sure everyone loves him.
His character is kind and looks out for Rue and it’s adorable. I would honestly ship it.”
Another theory suggests that Mouse’s dark nature should not be underestimated,
and that although Fez agreed to cough up more money than was deserved, Mouse would then turn on
him and kill him as a means of not wanting to take any chances with the baggage that Fez may carry.
Many fans are also rooting for Lexi to have a much bigger role in Season 2,
suggesting that she may end up coming to a gay realization.
This user said, “There’s definitely something going on there with her,
and there’s been hints that she’ll have a bigger role later.”
They also added that there were “several moments in the finale that hinted she was
having a more memorable night than the others might’ve suspected.”
For one, it was her empathy with Nate’s date and that she may have also been
talking to herself when suggesting this would be a “night to remember.”
Kat and Ethan are another potential couple that
many fans are keeping on their radar in the upcoming season.
After Kat lost her virginity in Season 1 and began experimenting with her sexuality, fans are rooting
for these two as Ethan could be a good influence on Kat and essentially keep her grounded.
And finally, during the finale, it was revealed that Maddie ended up watching
the video of Nate’s dad hooking up with Jules.
According to this Reddit user, someone on Tumblr believes that Maddie is set
out to seek revenge on Nate, break up with him and start dating Fez.
Others agree that while Maddie may not seek revenge by getting with Fez,
she is deeply outraged by the video,
so mentally prepare yourselves for what’s about to ensue come Season 2!
As we previously stated, the second season of Euphoria has appeared to begin filming, and if
everything goes according to schedule, we may be getting a new season to binge come early 2021.
