She is so brilliantly talented and such a perfectionist. I talked to Lab about it and Lab had revised certain lyrics toward the end, and then we went into the studio and Z recorded it and just watching her was one of those moments where you’re so taken aback and you realize there’s absolutely no ceiling for her as an artist. I can’t totally imagine it right now.” And then just in terms of working with Labrinth and “All for Us” becoming this thematic thread of the temptation and also the guilt and the shame of addiction and the emotional turmoil that existed within the character of Rue, it just felt right for it to be that song. I’m curious how you’re going to pull this off, but I trust if anyone is going to do it, you could do it in some way that feels right. I don’t know if you’re fully dancing but you’re definitely singing.” She was like, “Let me see it first. I remember after we shot the pilot I told her that I wanted to do a musical number and she was like, “Are you for real? Are you fucking with me?” And I was like, “No, no, I’m serious.” And she was like, “With dancing and singing?” And I was like, “Kind of. Also Z is just so unbelievably fucking gifted that it felt like something that we had to tap into because it’s an expression of the character and it is so much of this show and it becomes another way to enter her emotional experience. I had had a musical number written into one of the episodes earlier on just because I really love musicals and I thought we could do an interesting take on it given the nature of our show. It came together in a way that was more emotional than I ever anticipated.ĭid you know from the beginning that you wanted Zendaya to do a musical performance at the end? What were those conversations like? I think the idea is in the back and forth of Rue getting shoved towards this mountain of bodies and the metaphor of that, and what it means to be an addict and also the people that we’ve lost to addiction and being pulled up that mountain.
A lot of credit is due to Ryan Heffington for his choreography, which is just absolutely magnificent and beautiful. It just felt like that was the right decision emotionally for the piece, so I had written it in there and it came down to the planning and coordination of it. I was writing as we were shooting, and I knew where Rue was headed and I knew what was going to happen, but it felt like in some ways seeing her relapse felt dark to me in a way that doesn’t fully encapsulate the cycle and the madness of addiction - how you’re thrown back into it and thrown out of it and it’s dizzying and at times beautiful but also really fucking terrifying. Luca Guadagnino's Zendaya-Starrer 'Challengers' to Open Veniceįollowing the dramatic finale, The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Euphoria creator Sam Levinson - who has said he mined his own past for much of the show - about that final scene, Rue’s fate and what to expect in season two. The season ends with Rue relapsing after three months sober and a vocal performance by Zendaya in the new song “All for Us,” which she performs among a crowd of dancers clad in her signature hoodie. Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) has an abortion and breaks up with McKay (Algee Smith), Kat (Barbie Ferreira) and Ethan (Austin Abrams) finally admit their feelings for each other and Fezco (Angus Cloud), desperate to pay off the drug dealers blackmailing him, takes a dark turn with a high-risk robbery.
Back at school, Nate (Jacob Elordi) and Maddy (Alexa Demie) try to make each other jealous by bringing separate dates to the dance, and end the episode with a discussion about their toxic relationship - which they may or may not continue. Set under the lights of winter formal, Rue ( Zendaya) and Jules (Hunter Schafer) continue their uncertain romantic relationship, with Rue suggesting that they run away together, only to back out once on the train and have Jules leave without her.
Sunday night marked the end of season one for HBO’s boundary-pushing drama Euphoria, wrapping up eight episodes with breakups, hookups, a drug relapse and - bet you didn’t see this coming - an emotional musical number.
