Sweeney recently appeared on the Awards Chatter podcast of The Hollywood reporter. While talking about various topics, the host questioned her about Euphoria. He referred to the time when, during the promotion of season one of the show, Zendaya said that the characters of the show are inspired by some parts of Levinson. Sweeney commented on this, “I’ve always said that I’ve felt like we’re all different veins or a part of his internal system.”
Sam Levinson took the anecdotes of the show’s incidents and characters from his real life. This is the sole reason the show felt so realistic and relatable. However, the stars worked on their respective characters too and made a huge contribution to the show’s success.
