The North Road Company has inked a deal with the Israeli-based film and television company Sipur for “Bad Boy,” a drama series hailing from “Euphoria” creator Ron Leshem and director Hagar Ben-Asher.
The crime drama series, which began principal photography in January, follows Dean, a successful comedian whose stint in a juvenile detention facility as a teenage threatens to shatter his career and life when information regarding his past resurfaces. While in jail, as Dean bonded with a mysterious teenager convicted of murder, he learned to harness his creativity and intelligence — traits Dean still holds with him years later.
The collaboration marks North Road’s first international co-studio deal since its formal launch in July 2022, and North Road and Sipur, formerly Tadmor Entertainment, are co-financing the series alongside Israeli platform Hot and Tedy Productions.

Less than a week after Euphoria’s dramatic Season 2 finale, HBO is addressing claims about a toxic and unsafe workplace environment on the set of the Zendaya-led drama.
Earlier in February The Daily Beast published a report that detailed the inner workings of Euphoria season 2, including alleged 15 to 17 work days, “hellish” night shoots and more. The Daily Beast also reported that background actors made complaints to SAG-AFTRA over failure “to provide them meals on time and refusing to let people use the bathroom,” among other allegations of a toxic production.”
The premium network shared the following statement in response to the allegations of SAG-AFTRA violations:
“The well-being of cast and crew on our productions is always a top priority. The production was in full compliance with all safety guidelines and guild protocols. It’s not uncommon for drama series to have complex shoots, and Covid protocols add an additional layer.

It looks like Rue could be selling drugs, but we can't confirm until we lay eyes on the finished product.
At the very least, she's making some bad decisions that look to come back and haunt her.

It's been a long time since we've had a fresh installment of Euphoria.
The award-winning Zendaya-led drama series first premiered in the summer of 2019.
It landed a quick renewal because it was a big hit with younger viewers HBO was trying to capture.
Unfortunately, the pandemic meant that production on the new season was scuppered, but HBO opted to schedule two specials; one in December 2020, and another in January 2021.
These episodes did not advance the stories of anyone aside from Rue and Jules, so fans will need to wait until 2022 to catch up with the rest of the characters.
The series is currently set to return on Sunday, January 9, according to Zendaya.
Production on the second season kicked off in April, so it's likely the season will air weekly without a hiatus in the middle.
