The news was announced by Variety recently. As surprising as it may seem, the rapper is not at his first attempt. In front of or behind the camera, Drake knows how to do it!
Drake engaged in cinema?
Singer, rapper… and also a Canadian actor. The interpreter of Hotline Bling has begun to reveal his acting in the series Degrassi: The Next Generation. In the role of Jimmy Brooks, he was one of the leading characters of this series in the 2000s. He then moved on to the executive side where he was producer of the documentary The Carter Effect, which illustrates Vince Carter 's significant impact on Canada. Finally, he leaves the basketball world behind to collaborate with the giant Netflix on a remake of the police series Top Boy.
What is Euphoria about?
First, this production happens to be inspired by an Israeli series. Named HOT, it highlights a group of high school students who sink into the quest for identity. They find themselves lost among drugs, sex, social networks, love and friendship. To best interpret this drama series, Drake and his team set out to add a star to the cast: Zendaya. This former Disney Channel actress (Raquel Blue in Shake It Up) and sensational in The Greatest Showman, will have a major role in the series. Many actors have also been announced: Storm Reid, Maude Apatow, Brian Bradley, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Nika King, Hunter Schafer and Sydney Sweeney.
However, we must specify that Drake will not be alone in the production of Euphoria, far from it! Sam Levinson (writer of The Wizard Of Lies), Future the Prince (DJ), and the two creators of HOT, Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin will collaborate with him. The writing of the episodes will be the business of writer Sam Levinson. Finally, HBO commissioned Augustine Frizzel to direct the pilot last March.
