From the jump, this season is already geared to be more dramatic, more violent, and more intense.
There's always been a lot of talk around the unique artistic direction the show takes in filming, but even more so in Season 2. In light of that, here are 16 behind-the-scenes facts about Euphoria Season 2.
1.Season 2 was shot entirely on film. Euphoria cinematographer Marcell Rév said Kodak had to resurrect a specific type of film for the show.
2.In fact, to create that snapshot effect, they used a spotlight to film the party scene.
3.The now iconic scene where Fez beats up Nate and smashes his head with a bottle was real (to an extent). Angus Cloud (Fez) was given a bottle "made out of sugar" and actually shattered it over Jacob Elordi's head.
In the Season 2 opener, Cassie is trapped in a bathroom hiding from Maddy and pulls the shower curtain aside to see a man sitting, fully nude, on the toilet. According to the penis's owner, Ansel Pierce, that was indeed his own apendage. "Yes, that is me, in the bathroom, not a prosthetic," Ansel told TikTok.
6.Angus Cloud was cast as Fez after an agent saw him walking down the street and asked him to read for the part.
7.Jacob Elordi said he started to get "phantom pain" from shooting those scenes with his head in a cast.
8.The Season 2 makeup is meant to be Season 1's "more introverted sister."
9.Newcomer Dominic Fike (Elliot) had never acted prior to Euphoria.
Gregg Doyel flashed a heart sign at Caitlin Clark at her introductory press conference on Wednesday afternoon to kick off an incredibly strange back-and-forth.
