Following the cancellation of the salacious and controversial HBO drama 'The Idol', Sam Levinson has announced his newest project, which will buck the trend of his previous projects by featuring sad, naked, coke-thin women having horrible sex.
'We’re really breaking new ground here,' the Euphoria director tells us. 'Euphoria was about teenagers having degrading sex, doing drugs, and being traumatised. The Idol was about a female singer having degrading sex, doing drugs, and being traumatised. I have always centred women in my stories, and I always will. Especially when they’re in pain and naked.'
Levinson’s newest project features a young, beautiful, and damaged Instagram influencer called Isabella, who begins an Onlyfans account because her dad died or something. Levinson admits that he was drawn to the idea of teenage girls expressing their angst by getting naked on webcam: 'It’s such a subversive and controversial form of empowerment,' he says. 'I believe that I’m the perfect person to depict the nuances of this experience. I know all about those websites.'
While Levinson has disclosed that there will be protracted scenes of the character performing weird sex acts on screen, there will also be a short sequence in which she cries at her own reflection while applying red lipstick, proving that the material will be carefully balanced. 'To all the prudes that are worried about me exploiting teenage girls, it won’t all be about sex. There’ll also be a few party scenes too, some coke snorting and a hot tub sequence.'
"Spice, toot, bump, skooma, mamba - you can see they're getting desperate", says Sergeant Gary Jones of Scotland Yard. He believes there'll soon be gang wars over the last few remaining combinations of letters in the English language.
Drug dealer Mark Wilde agrees the situation is critical: "When I should be out stabbing rivals in turf wars, I'm stuck behind a Scrabble board trying to see what words we've got left. Would you believe I had to name my last drug "phthisis"? It was either that or "pterodactyl". I even tried going through some old 1950s phone books - but "Mrs Agatha Hardbarking" is hardly a suitable name for a party drug, is it?
Meanwhile, Sergeant Jones reassures people that the illegal drug trade will go into terminal decline around 2027, when the dealers finally use up the last word in the English language. "However", he warns, "they could always move to France and start all over again".
