15 Improvised Scenes In Euphoria Season 2

  • Some of the most memorable scenes from Euphoria were actually a result of total improv! From the hilarious one-liners to the brutal arguments, Euphoria took advantage of just how skilled their actors were.
    Rue’s fights with her family are next level. Both her aggressive and violent argument with her mom in the first season and with her mom and Gia in the second came from the actors themselves. These performers are close and trust each other enough to be able to let themselves go to those dark and angry places, knowing they are just acting and will take care of each other when the cameras stop rolling.
    Maude Apatow is pretty perfectly cast as Lexi - especially when we see her in action backstage bringing her play to life. Many of her one-liners and even her confessional style writing were loosely based on the way the actress behaved when she was in high school and running a show! Though the stakes definitely weren’t as high then - and we doubt their budget was as big as this one!
    One actress was pushed so far by their co-star, that they wound up yelling out curse words during a take, revved up by the sass they were being served. A newbie to the scene happens to be one of the best improv talents around, many of their best parts coming directly from the actor. Euphoria is next-level intense, so when certain actors get a script that they feel is missing a bit of heat, they’ll speak up. When this does happen - you can bet that new dialogue gets improvised by both the actors and the creator of the show!
    Keeping the set open to the flow has made the show that much better, letting us appreciate just how great these actors are!

      So heartbreaking. I had to pause the episode and walk away from my laptop when that scene got to its peak because it damn near caused a panic attack tbh. It gave me flashbacks from when I was still in active addiction. The fight was so similar to the ones my mother and I had. That whole scene was so fucking gut wrenching, Zendaya and Leslie are insanely talented for that improv. They should both get an Emmy for that scene alone!

    I think improv and letting the actors put more into the dialogue instead of following a strict script is what makes a show/movie good. You can tell when a show or something is super scripted, if just doesn’t feel as natural and isn’t a good movie to me. I love how much depth is in the shows and how amazing these actors are to be able to bring these characters to such high levels.

    Knowing how Sam just shows up to set with a "vibe" and no specifics, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that the entire season was improvised. It would explain why so many questions remain unanswered; the cast simply couldn't remember the plot points they improvised.

    If you actually work on film and tv this show sounds like a nightmare. No pre planning is why you have these 16-18 hour camera days. Brutal. That’s not counting the couple hours before and after a lot of people work. Gross.
    Edit: I’m not saying it doesn’t look good or it’s not a well done show… these things can be achieved without human beings having to work 20 hours a day. Everyday. For a few months. Not just once or twice like the Background complaining had to do. There are hundreds of people involved in making film and tv and the director and actors work the shortest hours.

    I’ve often wondered if a lot of scenes (not just these) are improvised. I know there’s a script and actors are supposed to feel a certain way, so I’m sure it brings out things that weren’t initially meant to be there.
    It’s prob hard enough for 1 person to write an entire show by themselves and try to put themselves in other peoples brains…so by improvising, it could def show a POV that the author or director never thought of. It makes the scenes better imo.

      She didn't like the direction they were putting her character in (they were going to give her an eating disorder), so she didn't stay on set a lot. That's why she lacked a lot of scenes this season.
      Plus, we see with each episode she's in in Season 2 that she just doesn't love him. She doesn't know why but even if he's wonderful to her, she doesn't reciprocate. It happens.
