Euphoria, the HBO teen angst drama with generous proportions of sex, drugs, violence, and other tasty stuff, is something I, you, and we all tweet about. From memes about who could “end Nate Jacobs” to reactions to Rue exposing Cassie, tweets about the current Euphoria episode flood the timeline and trend on Twitter.
On Sunday, during the second season finale of Euphoria, several fans encountered technical difficulties with HBO Max. At 9:00 p.m. ET, the episode “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name” premiered. In an email comment to Variety, a WarnerMedia official addressed the incident.
We’ve seen the tweets from some of our users who had trouble accessing HBO Max around 9 p.m. ET and are engaging directly to help get them back into the platform. This short interruption has since been resolved.
On Sunday night, according to DownDetector, at least 52,000 complaints were filed regarding the problem. The second season of Euphoria has dominated television over the last few months, with an average audience of 6.6 million, up nearly 100% from season one.
HBO Programming Executive Vice President Francesca Orsi announced last month: “Sam, Zendaya, and the entire cast and crew of Euphoria have taken season two to extraordinary heights, challenging narrative convention and form, while maintaining its heart.”
Euphoria follows a group of high school students as they navigate identity, trauma, drugs, friendships, love, and sex. Even the Super Bowl episode “Thousand Little Trees of Blood,” which aired during the game, drew 5.1 million people on its first night. Euphoria has already been renewed for a third season by HBO.
