What will Euphoria season two be about?

The official synopsis for season two reads: "Season two returns as the complex group of high school students navigate love and friendship. They'll need to lean on each other as they try to find their own way through the dark world of drugs, sex, trauma, and social media." However, the trailer has given us more details about what to expect. In it, Rue relapses from sobriety and begins to deal drugs, carrying a suitcase with her wherever she goes.

It also looks like things are slowly mending between Rue and Jules, who fell out after Jules left her abandoned at the train station after running away.

Meanwhile, Cassie is causing confusion among her friends after starting to dress differently, and tells them in hysterics that she has "never been happier". We can't wait to find out exactly what will be going down…

Will Nate finally get his comeuppance? 

Chatting about what to expect from her character, Hunter told IndieWire: "[I hope] this growth and interrogation of Jules... and what she wants and ultimately finding newer and healthier intimacies in her relationships, which I hope will be more queer and more healthy... [I hope] that will continue."

Sydney added: "Cassie has a crazy storyline in season two that I did not expect. Every time I read a new episode that Sam [Levinson] writes, my jaw is on the ground and I can't believe this is something coming out of someone's mind."
