Generation on HBO Max release date, cast, synopsis, trailer, and more

If you loved shows like Euphoria and We Are Who We Are, you may want to seriously consider watching Generation when it drops. Luckily, the wait for this coming-of-age dramedy won’t be much longer, friends.

Produced by Lena Dunham and created by 18-year-old Zelda Barnz with her father Daniel Barnz, HBO Max’s latest timely teen drama will explore and illuminate the struggles of being a teenager in modern times, told through the eyes of those unwilling to conform, determined and destined to make a change for the better.

Of her decision to collaborate on Generation, Girls creator Lena Dunham told Variety, “I have fallen head over heels for this brilliant family, who have allowed their 18-year old daughter Zelda to express herself in a way that’s both effortlessly funny and plumbs the depths of the adolescent experience.”

Generation is set to premiere this month. So let’s get ready for it while we’ve still got a minute. Shall we?
