In an article released yesterday on The AV Club, they interviewed Zendaya and Hunter Schafer about their biggest and most intimate scenes from Euphoria's second season premiere. At the end of the first episode in the second season, we see Zendaya's character, Rue, tell Hunter's character, Jules, how she feels about her. We could have guessed how she felt based on their actions in the previous season!
However, if you don't watch the show, then you might not realize that the women broke up towards the end of the first season and they both had extreme fallout reactions to the breakup. We see them both go down difficult paths, so this scene that showed them coming together again was very hopeful. That being said, a big part of Rue's character arc in this season is clearly her drug addiction and it appears that she can only be honest about her feelings when she is high.
Zendaya explained: “It’s interesting and quite sad that the only time she feels comfortable fully expressing herself is when she’s high. Although I’m excited they can be together and have this beautiful moment, it’s not ideal. It’s rooted in a layer of pain.”
The show is obviously intense and filled with sex, drugs, violence, and everything in between. And don't they still have to finish high school? Rue and Jules are a power couple on the show - Rules, as fans call them - and so far the season seems to be on their side. Zendaya also said, “We wanted to start the show by giving Rue everything she says she wants. We give her her ideal dream situation and see how it works. She tries to balance two lives. We’ll see how well that goes for her.”
We will certainly see how well that goes for her and we hope that it means we might get to see some nudity. Obviously, the two of them have shared even more intimate moments before this in the show's groundbreaking first seasons. Hunter has shown off her hooters, but Zendaya has remained clothed. Will she finally give us the euphoric moment that we've all been waiting for and ditch her clothes? I am hopeful!
Let's rewatch one of their sexy scenes and hope for the best this season:
