Euphoria (Hebrew: אופוריה, Oforia) is an Israeli teen drama television miniseries created and written by Ron Leshem and directed by Dafna Levin, broadcast on Hot 3 from 30 November 2012 to 1 February 2013. The series follows a group of 17-year-olds who spend their time carelessly having sex and taking drugs, with seemingly no parental authority. Adults appear in the series only rarely, and are always filmed at an angle that obscures their faces. Some of the series plot is based on a true story.[1] [2] Skins has been named as an influence on the creators of the series.[2] The show was met with controversy by Israeli officials such as Orli Yehezkel of the Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Council who called for the miniseries to be taken off the air.[3]

In 2019, Euphoria was adapted into an American television series of the same title,[2] which premiered on HBO on 16 June 2019.[4]
