Euphoria Season 2 Star Believes Rue & Jules' End Was For The Best
Euphoria season 2 star Hunter Schafer says that the show's choice to end Rue and Jules' relationship was probably for the best. Schafer stars in the hit HBO Max series as Jules, the beautiful yet damaged high-school girl who begins an intense friendship with Rue, played by Zendaya. Their relationship develops in capricious, multifaceted ways throughoutthe two seasons (so far) of Euphoria.
The hit show Euphoria follows Rue, a smart, loving, but deeply troubled high schooler who struggles with drug addiction and other mental illnesses. The show navigates her drug abuse's impact on her familial, platonic, and romantic relationships; however, the show frames Rue's story with immense empathy and intimacy, never shying away from the harsh realities of addiction but also lovingly leaning into genuine moments of tenderness presented in between the scenes of heartache. Both ends of this emotional spectrum present themselves through the tumultuous passion of Rue and Jules in Euphoria, whose close friendship slowly turns romantic over the course of the show; however, the romance between them eventually can't withstand the devastating blows of Rue's increasing reliance on drugs and other emotionally destructive tendencies rooted in the trauma of her past, as well as the less conspicuous nature of Jules' own demons.
