“The only types of claims would be over right of publicity or defamation claims.”Ĭaplan explains that in terms of right of publicity, the images are not being used for commercial purposes - even if they appear on a pay-cable channel series - adding that there are a “number of defenses” that would make a defamation claim fail. “First of all, this is a First Amendment-protected work,” Brian Caplan, an intellectual property lawyer at the New York firm Reitler Kailas & Rosenblatt LLC tells Billboard about his assesment of the legal protections afforded this kind of parody. Caplan, who has represented the Lumineers and the estates of James Brown and George Gershwin, was speaking as a legal expert, with no first-hand knowledge of the HBO series’ internal legal deliberations.

Previews of the new season have depicted similar visual and emotional themes as the first, but if season two cannot find a thesis to accompany its visuals, Euphoria will find itself right where it left off. With the second season comes an opportunity for the show to redeem itself and retract that permission-or to double down on its faults. It felt like tacit permission for all of our most irresponsible decisions. Like many of my peers, I was riveted by the first season of Euphoria’s acting and production and the relatability of its characters.

Teenagers may have already been overexposed and over-adultified and already participating in the kinds of things Euphoria depicts-but the last thing we needed was a vehicle to further romanticize our self-destructiveness. At my high school and at neighboring schools, similar stories were not uncommon.Īlexa Demie in a scene from Euphoria's second season. Jules Vaughn, played by Hunter Schafer, has her earliest sexual experiences with a rotation of much older men she meets online.

Kat Hernandez, played by model Barbie Ferreira, reacts to an experience of nonconsensual recording during sex by becoming a camgirl in a misguided attempt to reclaim control of her sexuality. Maddy Perez, played by 30-year-old Alexa Demie, is in an on-and-off relationship with her physically and verbally abusive boyfriend, Nate Jacobs, played by 24-year-old Jacob Elordi. For each of the show’s dysfunctional lead characters, I could point to a peer with similar problems. But even beyond the geographic proximities of the cast, the show felt like it spoke to my classmates and me. Its star, Zendaya, had been born and raised in Oakland and was something of a hometown hero Angus Cloud, a first-time actor who became a fan favorite as the lovable drug dealer Fezco and the show’s breakout star, had been raised in Oakland too, and he and Zendaya had gone to the same high school at different times. Euphoria debuted the summer before my senior year of high school in Oakland.
