SEASON SYNOPSIS

Provocative, authentic and unforgettable, this intense Emmy®-winning HBO drama, based on the groundbreaking Israeli series, puts a compelling spin on the coming-of-age narrative. Serving as a guide through the teenage landscape of substance-enhanced parties and anxiety-ridden daily life is 17-year-old Rue Bennett (ZENDAYA), a drug addict fresh from rehab trying to make sense of her future in Season 1. Between seasons, two special episodes set over the Christmas holiday explore the aftermath of the season finale. Season 2 follows Rue and her friends as they enter a new year, questioning their choices and what they want for themselves. Regret for the mistakes they’ve made leads to a longing for redemption as reality, fantasy, past and present collide.
