Euphoria Season 3’s Delays Explained
Why Sam Levinson’s HBO Drama Is Taking So Long
Euphoriahas been a big hit for HBO, and it’s helped further propel the careers of actors like Zendaya, Sweeney, Schafer, Jacob Elordi, and more. Both seasons have earned positive reviews from critics and audiences, with particular praise levied at the strong performances of the lead cast.Euphoriaseason 2’s endingpaves the way for a continuation of the story, but season 3 has struggled to get off the ground for a variety of reasons.
Euphoria Season 3 Update Finally Puts A Major Concern About The Show To Rest
Euphoria season 3’s production updates provide a huge relief for viewers of the show, and now audiences can expect a better show than before.
The tragic death of series star Angus Cloud last summer was reportedly a contributing factor to the delay of season 3, with Levinson having to carry out some substantial rewrites. One of the show’s producers, Kevin Turen, also passed away last December, which was another major blow to the show. On top of these losses, it’s been reported for months now thatZendaya and Levinson have long been butting headscreatively over the direction of Rue’s character arc.
One point of contention between Zendaya and Levinson is said to have been the latter’s focus onThe Idol, HBO’s controversial series starring Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd, overEuphoria.
Earlier this month, however, HBO revealed that season 3 goes into production next year, and a subsequent report added that coreEuphoriacastmembers are all expected to return. If season 3 filming does get underway in early 2025,it’s likely that the show won’t return until 2026, meaning it will have been four years since audiences last saw Rue, Cassie, and the rest of the gang. Nothing has been confirmed just yet, but the reports of behind-the-scenes creative issues could be seen as a sign thatEuphoriaseason 3 will be the last.
