Is the town from “Euphoria” a real place?
As you might have guessed, no, the town in “Euphoria” is not a real place. However, it is an amalgamation of shooting locations in and around Los Angeles County.
To give the feel of Los Angeles suburbia, the production cleverly and expertly utilized genuine locations that set the stage for such a real and raw feeling show. The show hints at being set near the city but doesn’t expressly say it. Distractify has the details of where it’s purported to be set. “There are plenty of mountains and palm trees visible in scenes throughout the show, and the few aerial shots of the town and its surrounding areas seem to largely resemble a Southern California suburb somewhere outside of Los Angeles. This is further confirmed by Jules (Hunter Schafer) who said in one of the show’s early episodes that she “moved from the city to the suburbs”.
So if you were watching the show and wondering to yourself: ‘where is “Euphoria” filmed?’ We now know that it was generally in Los Angeles and San Bernardino County. But what about some of the specific locations? Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty!
Where is the high school from “Euphoria”?
Some fans may prefer to call it “Euphoria High,” but in the show, the high school is “East Highland High School”. If you were wondering to yourself “Where is “Euphoria” filmed?” you probably also want to know where the fictional high school where constant drama takes place is.
It turns out that Rue and friends are walking the same high school halls as many other fictional characters! The school in question is Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, and according to Snakkle it has quite the history with Hollywood. “Some of the school’s major roles include Saved by the Bell’s iconic exterior shot and Six Feet Under’s interior classroom shots. The school was also used for both the TV and film versions of Clueless. Other productions that used the grounds include My Name Is Earl, Not Another Teen Movie, Ghost Whisperer, Reno 911!, The United States of Tara, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Malcolm in the Middle, Life Goes On, Ferris Bueller, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, The Office, and Reba”.
It’s hard to imagine Cassie Howard in the same class as the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, but it’s funny to picture.

Next, let’s take a look at some of the other spots that answer the question “Where is “Euphoria” filmed?” For fans of the show, it would probably be a dream to visit some of the locations in the show that the characters themselves were in.
