After that stunning Season 1 finale, two between-season specials, and a history-making Emmy win, Euphoria is back to toy with your emotions.

The Season 2 teaser trailer starts innocently enough, with a disheveled Rue (Zendaya) dancing around her room with a pillow partner to Bobby Darin's "Call Me Irresponsible" (if you insist!), before the mandatory dark-and-gritty hip hop remix kicks in. So do the flashes of police chases, teenage hedonism, several guns, killer outfits, and, well, lots more dancing.

The show's second season sees the return of the main cast, also including Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Storm Reid, Sydney Sweeney, and Alexa Demie, and introduces new characters played by singer-songwriter Dominic Fike (of "3 Nights" fame), Minka Kelly (of Friday Night Lights fame), and BMF's Lil Meech.

Break out the face glitter, and prepare to cry it off.

Euphoria's second season premieres Jan. 9 on HBO Max.
