The first episode of a “Euphoria” two-part special titled, “Rue” began streaming on HBO Max Dec. 4. The “special episodes” are not to be mistaken as the beginning of the second season; they are merely here to update us on the main character, Rue, as we move closer to the release of the actual second season. Since the show’s debut last year, Zendaya became the youngest person to win an Emmy Award for outstanding lead actress in a drama series in her role as Rue. As we saw in the first season, Rue is a recovering drug addict who falls in love with the new girl at school, Jules (Hunter Shafer).
