It’s been a long, long wait for fans but Euphoria is finally returning to our screens – and a lot has changed for the trouble-making teens we first met.

It’s been five years since the dramatic conclusion to season two, and they’re now out of high school and dealing with life as adults. Nate and Cassie are engaged to be married, but he’s less than impressed with her raunchy online business.

Hacks Season 5 (Sky Atlantic)

In the fifth and final season of this beloved comedy, Deborah and Ava are heading back to Las Vegas more determined than ever to cement Deborah’s legacy.

However, they hit a slight snag after their time in Singapore, after it was falsely announced in the news that Deborah had died.

After her unceremonious exit from her late-night talk show, the pair have a fight on their hands as network bosses are holding her to the non-compete clause she signed in her contract – meaning she can’t tell a single joke without getting sued.

Looks like they have their work cut out for them.

Available from April 24th.
