The teaser felt like we are in a spin-off series of Euphoria itself. It had the same dark carnivalesque party tone of the show. People aimlessly indulge in drugs, sex, and booze. You know it is a Sam Levinson show for sure. The contrast is the 80’s Hollywood background lurks behind in the teaser. The colorful Hollywood mansions and huge amounts of cocaine ingestion are at the center of the teaser.
