HBO has put to rest the circulating rumours regarding the future of Euphoria Season 3, confirming that the show remains on track. Amid speculation about its cancellation, an official statement from HBO reassures fans that production is set to begin in 2025. The show, which stars Zendaya as Rue Bennett, had its third season renewal in February 2022 but faced delays due to ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes.
The series, which debuted in 2019 and released its second season in 2022, has seen its cast gain fame through various projects. HBO’s recent affirmation highlights their continued commitment to the hit drama. Francesca Orsi, the executive vice president of HBO Programming and head of HBO Drama Series and Films, expressed her excitement about the show’s future, emphasizing their creative partnership with creator Sam Levinson and the remarkable cast.
Initial plans had slated Season 3 to begin filming in the spring or summer of 2024. However, production delays arose from strikes and script issues. Despite fans’ concerns about potential trouble for the show’s future, HBO’s statements confirm there are no changes to the production schedule.
Since its premiere, Euphoria has become a cultural phenomenon, with Zendaya’s portrayal of Rue, a teenager battling addiction, receiving widespread acclaim. The second season concluded with dramatic events, including the death of Ashtray (played by Javon Walton) and the uncertain fate of Fezco (portrayed by the late Angus Cloud). Rue’s unresolved struggle with sobriety adds to the anticipation for the upcoming season.
The tragic passing of Angus Cloud in August 2023 due to an accidental drug overdose has deeply affected fans, raising questions about Fezco’s future in the series. Additionally, Barbie Ferreira’s departure from her role as Kat Hernandez has left viewers wondering about her character’s fate. Despite these challenges, main cast members Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Hunter Schafer are expected to return. Sydney Sweeney, who plays Cassie Howard, recently expressed her enthusiasm for reprising her role, highlighting the special bond she shares with her ‘Euphoria’ family.
While fans await the official premiere date for Season 3, they can stream the first two seasons of Euphoria on Jio Cinema.
