Case Study: Euphoria

Euphoria

Euphoria is aimed at youngsters aged 17 and up, according to the show's creator, Sam Levison, according to movieweb.com. Because a 17-year-old has had quite different experiences than a 14-year-old, you can exhibit more explicit content while still effectively communicating your point. The hit show Euphoria is about drug use, nudity, violence, and a typical adolescent life crisis. Furthermore, because the show emphasizes the good and "the good inside the bad" aspects of adolescence, it's reasonable to believe that teenagers will relate to and connect with the series' plot.


The television show Euphoria is classified TV-MA by filmmmyrating.com, which means it is intended for mature audiences. As a result, minors under the age of 17 are not permitted to view this series. Euphoria, a teen drama directed by Sam Levinson, was released in June 2019. Rue, the primary character, is played by Zendaya. She's also known for her appearances as Rocky and KC in the Disney series "Shake It Up" and "KC Undercover." Zendaya is a well-known actress who has acted in films, music videos, and fashion shows. Her popularity aided the film series' success, and her experience and history aided the show's commercial representation. Jacob Elordi (from "The Kissing Booth") and Eric Dane (from "Grey's Anatomy") also star in Euphoria. Because these are films that most teenagers grew up with, and they would be familiar with the performers, these prominent figures were vital to the depiction of the film to its intended audience.

According to TheThings.com, Euphoria's first season cost $165 million to produce, with each episode costing $11 million. According to Dilynewscatcher.com, Zendaya earns $500k as Rue, Hunter Schafer as Jules Vaughn earns $300k, Sydney Sweeney as Cassie earns $300k, Jacob Elordi as Nate Jacobs earns $200k, Storm Reid as Gia earns $200k, Alexa Demie as Maddy earns $250k, Barbie Ferreira as Kat Hernandez earns $250k, Maude Apatow as Lexi Howard earns $200k, Angus Cloud In retrospect, the major cast members all made between $200k and $500k for the entire second season of the show. According to Variety.com, HBO's "Euphoria" Season 2 episodes are currently averaging 16.3 million viewers, which is the best performance for any HBO series season in the last eight years, aside from "Game of Thrones," which averaged 46 million viewers during its eighth and final season in 2019.
