Last year, audiences were introduced to “Genera+ion” (“Generation“), HBO‘s answer to… well, some argued HBO’s “Euphoria,” Evidently there’s more than enough teen drama to go around, but to be fair, this is a show with a more playful vibe. Regardless, the series was interrupted by COVID-19 and those related issues; the sixteen-episode first season had to be broken up into two parts. Today, HBO Max announced that “Genera+ion” returns with eight new episodes to finish the season.
On June 17, “Genera+ion” returns with three new episodes. Then, the series continues with two episodes on June 24, two episodes on July 1, and one episode on July 8. Here’s the synopsis if you haven’t seen the show.
