The acclaimed drama, whose second season aired more than two years ago, saw the careers of its cast explode. It has several movie stars, Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and the recurring actor Colman Domingowho just received an Oscar nomination, and Storm Reid won an Emmy earlier this year for The Last Of Us. They are all in high demand, prompting HBO’s decision to allow them to take on other work during the production delay, as series regulars take the top spot on Euphoria.
Casey Bloyspresident and CEO of HBO and Max Content, said in November that the plan was for Euphoria season 3 to premiere in 2025. That remains the goal.
In an August interview with Elle, Levinson described season 3 as a “film noir” and teased that Zendaya’s character, a recovering addict, would “explore what it means to be a principled individual in a corrupt world.”
Domingo recently gave a look at the upcoming season while talking about the delay.
“[Sam es] a person who writes and rewrites and writes and rewrites again, because I think he’s struggling with what’s important,” she told GQ in an interview. “He’s responding immediately to the ills of the world. I know that the only thing that “What I can tell you is that he’s very interested in the existential question of who we are now. Our souls. That’s what he wants to discover with season three.”
What Euphoria is about
Euphoria is set in the fictional town of East Highland, California, which searches for hope while balancing the tensions of love, loss, and addiction. The series is based on an Israeli show of the same name created by Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin.
The series has won nine Emmy Awards during its first two seasons, including two for Zendaya, making her the youngest two-time Emmy winner, and one for Domingo.
