    LOS ANGELES: Actors Dominic Fike, Minka Kelly and musical artiste Demetrius ‘Lil Meech’ Flenory Jr are set to star in the second season of the acclaimed HBO series “Euphoria”.

    Revolving around a group of teenagers, an official synopsis of “Euphoria” says the show “follows a group of high school students as they navigate drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship”.

    It is based on a 2012 Israeli miniseries of the same name created by Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin.

    The first season of the show stars Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, and Maude Apatow.

    Fike told Variety exclusively that his character is a “homie” who hangs out with Rue and Jules, played by Zendaya and Schafer.

    Lil Meech, who is set to make his acting debut with the series, also described his character as a “degenerate” who reminds him of his younger self.

    “Euphoria” began filming again earlier this year for its long-anticipated season two.

    It also stars Alexa Demie, Barbie Ferreira, Sydney Sweeney, Eric Dane, Algee Smith, and Austin Abrams.

    The series is directed by Augustine Frizzell and written by Sam Levinson.
