Euphoria might be the messiest show in existence—not only are its teenage characters dealing with epic levels of drama, trauma, and variously illegal activities, but the show’s production has been off the rails (season three was announced four years ago) even as the cast is beefing. Add in a chaotic approach to storytelling, and you have a show that seems to have been designed for our very online times.

There’s a novelistic aspect to Rue’s narration—you could totally see the series as the adaptation of a postmodern novel series. If you’re feeling bookish and you want to get the same jittery fix offered by the show, here are some books that are perfect for you.

Drugs, emotional devastation, social stagnation—Fuccboi’s searing story at a feckless young man who is slowly realizing that his poor decisions and general cowardice have put him in a cycle of misery is a perfect fit for fans of Rue, Cassie, and Jules.
The Revolution of Birdie Randolph, by Brandy Colbert
If Euphoria's depiction the invisible pressure that kids live under in the modern age felt way too real to you, The Revolution of Birdie Randolph is a good chaser. Dove “Birdie” Randolph is working tirelessly to be the perfect daughter her parents want—until a beautiful boy who’s obviously a bad idea and a reckless relative conspire to derail her controlled existence.
The best movies like Euphoria
If you want a deeper dive into the frenetic, dramatic experience that Euphoria offers, these films will scratch the itch.
Thirteen (2003)
Thirteen is a film that speaks the same language as Euphoria. Straight-laced honor student Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood) meets new girl Evie (Nikki Reed), who shows her a world of drugs, sex, and really terrible decisions that is initially exciting, with a range of realistically bleak consequences. Rent Thirteen from Prime Video.
Thirteen (2003) at Prime Video Learn More Learn More at Prime VideoKids (1995)
Less stylized and a lot more upsetting, Kids is what unsupervised teens with access to drugs and each other’s bodies look like without flashy editing or actors who look like Zendaya. Following a gang of young teens in New York as they drink, smoke, and have unprotected sex, it’s a car crash you can’t look away from—and so controversial, it's long been tough to see (it's not streaming anywhere, but you can buy it on Blu-ray). Buy Kids on Blu-ray from Amazon.
Kids (1995) $30.65 at Amazon Shop Now Shop Now $30.65 at AmazonThe Rules of Attraction (2002)
If you’ve ever wondered what the kids of Euphoria will face when they get to college, The Rules of Attraction is the movie for you—in fact, Euphoria was very likely influenced by this film (and the Bret Easton Ellis novel on which it is based). The main character is Sean Bateman, younger brother of American Psycho’s Patrick Bateman, and his antics are based on Ellis’ own drug-soaked experiences at Bennington College in Vermont. It’s a delirious spiral into drugs, sex, and madness that fans of HBO’s show will love. Stream The Rules of Attraction on Prime Video.

Sam Levinson is the driving creative force behind Euphoria, and his 2018 film Assassination Nation is basically a dry run for the series. This tale of high school kids exploring their gender identities, sexual orientation, and taste in illegal substances (while a social media bomb detonates into pure chaos in their small town) isn’t as grounded as Euphoria, but it adopts the same neon and glitter sensibility as it explores similar themes in a much more heightened manner. Stream Assassination Nation on Paramount+ or rent it from Prime Video.

At its core, Euphoria is about relationships tested by mental health issues, substance abuse issues, and emotional betrayals. Beautiful Boy is the story of a father and son navigating the son’s addiction to meth, and is based on a true story. It doesn’t shy away from depicting the brutal impact addiction can have on even the most loving and well-intentioned relationship. Stream Beautiful Boy on Prime Video.
