Why Zendaya Had to Issue a Warning to Her Fans About Euphoria
The drama, a dark slice-of-life story about teens, debuted on Sunday after days of stories about just how graphic the show is going to get, from the slightly comical, like how they had to remove 80 penises from a scene in the second episode, to the much darker, like how much of the show's depiction of addiction is based on the life of executive producer Sam Levinson. She stars as the show's main character, a teen drug addict who just got out of rehab but has no plans to stay clean, and it's definitely a far cry from the work most of her fans know her from, like Disney Channel's K.C. Undercover and Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming. The star even put her own warning on her Instagram, reminding her fans that Euphoria is for "mature audiences." One scene in the first episode that has gotten a lot of attention involves Eric Dane going full frontal, with a prosthetic penis, and committing statutory rape with a 17-year-old trans girl (Hunter Schafer). He signed on for the show because he thought it was "wonderfully written," and a chance to do something different. He also thinks it portrays something "pretty realistic."
