The show Euphoria is a Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin original. The show follows a group of high school teenagers as they struggle with drugs, sex, trauma, and social media while also balancing friendship and love.

The Israeli network HOT showed the Tedy productions-produced original version. With Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, and Sydney Sweeney as its main cast, the HBO U.S. translation of the show quickly gained popularity and is now scheduled to return for a third season.

Lennart Pohlig, a producer, and Zeitsprung Pictures’ CEO Michael Souvignier stated, “Euphoria is one of the biggest and most successful IPs and we are very happy to develop the story for a German adaptation of this unique coming-of-age series together with the outstanding writers Jonas Lindt and Paulina Lorenz. We strongly believe that the universal topics facing Gen Z such as identity, mental illness, addiction and sexuality, which they navigate whilst constantly standing under great pressure to succeed and perform, must be told in a very specific local way – in this instance from the perspective of young German teens.”

“Right from the outset we recognised that ‘Euphoria’ is a special series that would resonate far beyond the Israeli market – tapping into the experiences of young people in a real way – which is underscored with the response to HBO’s gritty and compelling remake. Although raw and often disquieting, the themes and storylines in the show strike a chord with teen audiences in many markets around the world. We are looking forward to seeing how the German version brings another perspective to young audiences,” Hadas Mozes Lichtenstein, founder of ADD Content, added.
