Drake is venturing back into the world of television. The OVO superstar will executive produce a new HBO series titled Euphoria, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
HBO announced it picked up the show, a teen drama based on a 2012 Israeli series of the same name, for 10 episodes.
Euphoria tells the story of high school students as they “navigate drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship.” Francesca Orsi, SVP of drama at HBO, described it as “Kids meets Trainspotting, and what might exist when parents don’t exist” when the pilot was ordered in March.
Drake’s manager, Future The Prince, will also serve as an executive producer. Zendaya, best known for playing MJ in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and her work on the Disney Channel, is set to star in the series.
Additional cast members include Maude Apatow, Brian “Astro” Bradley, Angus McLoud, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Nika King, Storm Reid, Hunter Schafer and Sydney Sweeney.
According to THR, screenwriter Sam Levinson will pen all 10 episodes of the series’ first season.

Let me guess, it will really be ghost produced by a REAL producer and Baby will keep all of the money? Yup. Spot on.
It will be more like him implementing his ideas and making sure it’s straight before releasing, much like his music. What he isn’t gonna do is doing is this to seek attention so people are aware he’s dropping a half assed album full of fictitious hustling stories @ 40 yrs oldd
Still can’t get King Push outta your head, huh? Sad.
Like how Pusha Tea couldnt get Drake out of his head?? Desperate 40 year old washed up bum with dirty braids been obsessed with and jealous of Drake for like 8 years sneak dissing him for literally no real reason on some hoe shit!!!!
Triggered!
“It’s about to be a surgical summer” he said.
Well? Where’s it at, Push? It’s certainly not on the Billboard 200…
It’s funny how all the Drake fans are still talking about Pusha. If he really wasn’t shit to y’all, then he wouldn’t be mentioned in the comments. Stay salty.
I disagree. Pusha finally got the response he wanted (granted it took nearly a decade before Drake even acknowledged him) and he dropped the ball. Saddest thing is Pusha put his all into “Adidon” and it did NOTHING. Drake been no.1 for a MONTH on Billboard, while Daytona is nowhere to be found on the top 200. I mean WTF? How do you sell 70k the first week and fall off the charts by week 3?
What do you mean it did nothing? “Adidon” ruined Drake’s character for a moment. Come on, the blackface, the news about his porn star baby mama and his kid. It was the topic of discussion two months ago and it still is now, apparently. Drake was trying to claim damage control and J Prince had to come to Drake’s rescue and tell him to not drop another diss track. And no duh Drake has been at #1 for a month, he’s a pop star. Pusha T is an MC. Daytona’s 7 tracks destroy the disjointed effort that is called Scorpion easily. Post Malone been in the top 20 for a year and a half. You gonna say Stoney is a better album than Daytona?
BIG W

OVO meets HBO
Drake finna go end dem pretenders in Hollywood too?
Well, when Daytona is at the top of a plethora of year-end lists, and Scorpion is an honorable mention at best, Pusha will get the last laugh. Fuck sales.

Tell your fellow Drake stans to stop bringing him up in the comments first. Obviously, they’re the ones still hurting if they have to keep mentioning him.
