Euphoria's long-awaited second season has finally confirmed its release date.
The HBO drama, which stars Zendaya as a recovering teen drug addict, aired its first season back in 2019, with two one-off specials dropping in December 2020 and January of this year.
The broadcaster has now announced that the second full season will premiere on January 9, 2022.
What to Read Next
An accompanying first-look teaser sees Zendaya's Rue Bennett dancing with a pillow around her home, before we get a montage of the intense action to come.
"When you're younger, everything feels so permanent," Rue tells viewers in a voiceover. "But as you get older, you begin to realise nothing is… and everyone you love can drift away."
It comes after the actress teased a "difficult season" earlier this year, telling Teen Vogue: "The show was intense.
"And it's very personal to, not only ourselves and all the people who work on it, but also, to other people who have been able to relate so deeply to the characters or see their experiences being reflected through Rue.
"So we take that very seriously. And it's definitely challenging, it's a challenging season."
She went on to explain: "I think Rue really deserves all of that care when it comes to her character, because I think she represents a lot for so many people. And I hope to make those people proud with our depictions of Rue [and] where all the characters go.

"I think this season's not going to be easy, though. It's not going to be a fun watch, I don't think. Sometimes."
Euphoria also stars the likes of Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer and Storm Reid, and last year won Zendaya the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
Euphoria season 2 will premiere on January 9, 2022, on HBO in the US, and Sky and NOW in the UK.
