“Euphoria” can now be found on the Disney Plus platform.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Executives at HBO decided this week that hit teen drama \u201cEuphoria\u201d will be leaving their streaming platform and will be a product of Disney Plus moving forward. The agreement came after a pitch from Disney Plus to take over the show because of its \u201cwholesome family content\u201d that will gel excellently with the content that the Disney Channel has been known to offer. Viewers can now find \u201cEuphoria\u201d among the likes of other generation-defining cult classics like \u201cLab Rats\u201d and \u201cBizaardvark.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The shift in networks means that actor Zendaya, who plays the protagonist and teen drug fiend Rue, will be returning to her Disney Channel roots. \u201cI\u2019m so happy to be back in the Disney family,\u201d Zendaya said. \u201cIt\u2019s very full circle for me. I really want to continue Rue\u2019s story through a new lens and I think this will widen the show\u2019s audience to be more inclusive of young children.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, toddlers can learn about addiction at the same time they are learning to walk. Showrunners and Disney executives believe that the show celebrates individualism, showcasing a vast array of characters from abusive boyfriend Nate Jacobs to kind motherly figure Laurie, who takes Rue into her home during her darkest period (though refuses to let her out). \u201cIt truly is an immersive show,\u201d said \u201cEuphoria\u201d creator and writer Sam Levinson. \u201cI\u2019m so glad that people finally recognize how there\u2019s a message for the whole family.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEuphoria,\u201d at its core, encourages viewers to embrace who they are. A prime example of this heartfelt message is character Cal Jacobs\u2019 monologue in episode four of season two, where he concludes with the sentiment \u201cI am who I am\u201d before abandoning his family. \u201cI\u2019m really proud of that scene\u2019s message. Everyone should see it,\u201d said actor Eric Dane.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the post-Disney Plus version of \u201cEuphoria\u201d has already garnered significant criticism, with fans complaining about \u201cawkward gaps\u201d and \u201cblatantly obvious plot holes\u201d as a result of the sidelining of characters like drug dealer Fezco, whose lines do not come without profanity. Episode runtimes went from around 59 minutes to 15 minutes with the creation of the necessary censored versions. However, fans shouldn’t stress, as the characteristic drawn-out scenes of Cassie crying and Maddy yelling while aggressively clapping her long nails will remain in full. \u201cIs there a better way to portray a healthy relationship than through a Nate-Cassie-Maddie love triangle?\u201d Levinson added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scenes have been added of the characters sitting in a classroom and learning subjects like physics or geometry, a completely new direction for the show despite revolving around a high school. However, actors will still be adorned with the classic glittery makeup and low-coverage latex outfits with the addition of CGI backpacks and textbooks to better fit the Disney Plus style of television.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your \u201cEuphoria\u201d Sundays might have gotten a lot shorter, but the network has high hopes for the show\u2019s transition. Now, the show will extend from its GenZ bubble and shape the next generation of drug addicts and emotional teens.<\/span><\/p>\n
