RTL+ Sets Oct. 2 Launch for German ‘Euphorie’ as Lead Details Demanding Scenes

Derya Akyol says the role pushed her into explicit, physically punishing work, prompting questions about on‑set safeguards.

Overview

  • All eight episodes of Euphorie will stream on RTL+ on 2 October 2025.
  • Akyol said the sex scenes were her biggest challenge and that she had been reluctant to appear that way on television.
  • She described spending a full day performing simulated vomiting across multiple scenes, requiring numerous takes with a jelly‑smoothie mixture.
  • The production has not confirmed whether intimacy coordinators were present, and Akyol did not address their involvement.
  • Early episodes screened at Filmfest München, with the series set in Gelsenkirchen and centered on 16‑year‑old Mila after a psychiatric stay following a leaked intimate video.
