NOC Interview: Nika King Talks HBO’s ‘Euphoria’ Season 2

Nika King portrays Leslie Bennett in the hit drama, Euphoria. The series has been renewed for a third season. New episodes air Sundays on HBO and HBO Max. The following interview will include spoilers for episode 2×05, “Stand Still Like the Hummingbird.”

Amidst the intertwining lives in the town of East Highland, 17 year old Rue (Zendaya) must find hope while balancing the pressures of love, loss, and addiction.

I had a chance to chat with the actress and break down episode 2×05’s biggest moments, talk about what the character of Leslie has given to her, what’s next in the story, how fans relate to the show, and much more!
