‘Euphoria’ Creator Sam Levinson Reveals Drake’s Role As Executive Producer On Show

Euphoria, the show’s creator, Sam Levinson, spoke about the extent of Drake’s role on the series as an executive producer. In an interview on Popcast with Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, Levinson talked about the ending of the season, some of the themes of the show, and working with many of the show’s high-profile stars. Near the end of the interview, during which they tucked into some cilantro Doritos, Levinson was asked about what it was like to work with Drizzy on the show. “Drake had gotten a hold of the scripts very early on in the process,” he shared around the 1-hour-10-minute point of the podcast. “This is when HBO was, you know, they still weren’t sure about the show. We were pushing some boundaries. He said, ‘I want to come on as a producer, I want to come on as an EP.’ He brought a level of confidence to HBO that I will forever be grateful for. I think that they couldn’t believe that Drake was coming on. He explained that Drake was “more involved in promotional and marketing aspects” of the show, rather than any big creative decisions. “You need your champions to give other people confidence, and he was a champion,” Levinson added.
