Sam Levinson, Euphoria’s creator and writer, apparently wants to spend more time on season 3’s script than anticipated. Although we reported not long ago that shooting for new episodes would begin soon, it turns out that filming of the series has been delayed.
After a wild season 2 finale, we are all eagerly anticipating new instalment of Euphoria. Unfortunately, as much as we’d like it, Levinson’s series won’t return anytime soon – the creators are still at the stage of writing the script for season 3.
Of course, this doesn’t mean we don’t have any information about the new episodes of the controversial series. We’ve gathered all the news about this outstanding HBO teen drama.
Euphoria season 3 potential release date
HBO originally announced that Euphoria would return to Max in 2025.
In an interview with MTV’s Josh Horowitz, Sydney Sweeney reveals that she’ll soon be working on the set of Euphoria.
However, according to the latest information provided by HBO, shooting for season 3 won’t begin anytime soon. The script for the new episodes isn’t ready yet, and it’s not sure when it will be completed, as the cast has been given permission to work on other projects.
That being said, HBO is still set on continuing the show, as a spokesperson told Variety:
HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season. In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.
Whether Euphoria season 3 will hit its 2025 release window remains to be seen.
Euphoria season 3 plot
Spoilers for Euphoria season 2 below.
The second season of Euphoria was full of drama and ended on a typical sour note.
Cassie and Nate’s romance led to a tumultuous end to the girl’s friendship with Maddy. Nate himself reported his father, Cal, to the police, who was arrested for possession of juvenile explicit material.
The highlight of the season was a school play prepared by Lexi, inspired by the lives of her and her classmates. However, the hilarious performance had unforeseen consequences. A furious Nate broke up with Cassie, who then trespassed the stage and was assaulted by a vengeful Maddy.
Unfortunately, Fez, who became friends with Lexi during the season, didn’t make it to the show. Just before leaving, the dealer and his brother Ashtray got into a shoot-out with the police. As a result, Fez was wounded, and Ash was killed.
The only positive element of the season’s ending was Rue’s reconciliation with Jules and Elliot after her dramatic drug crisis.
If you hope to find out in season 3 what happened right after the messy school play, you may be surprised. According to costume designer Heidi Bivens, there will be a time jump between seasons as much as 5 years into the future. This means that the next time we see Rue and her schoolmates, they will be young adults.
When asked about season 3, Sam Levinson revealed to Elle he wanted to use the convention of film noir to “tell the story of Rue, who explores what it means to be an individual with principles in a corrupt world.”
Euphoria season 3 cast
In the next instalment of the series, we can expect the following cast members to return:
- Zendaya – Rue
- Hunter Schafer – Jules
- Sydney Sweeney – Cassie
- Jacob Elordi – Nate
- Alexa Demie – Maddy
- Maude Apatow – Lexi
- Storm Reid – Rue’s sister, Gia
- Dominic Fike – Elliot
- Nika King – Leslie
- Eric Dane – Cal
- Colman Domingo – Ali
- Austin Abrams – Ethan
Sadly, in Euphoria season 3 won’t return Angus Cloud who played fan-favourite Fezco. In July 2023, the actor passed away due to a drug overdose. It’s yet unclear how the show creators are going to explain Fez’s absence in the upcoming season.
In the new episodes probably we won’t see Javon Walton as Ashtray. Fez’s bizarre brother was most likely killed during the Scarface-like shoot-out with the police.
In 2022, Barbie Ferreira, who starred as Kat Hernandez, announced that she’s leaving the series.
Is there a trailer for Euphoria season 3?
Of course, there’s no trailer for season 3 yet. But if you really miss Euphoria, you can rewatch the trailer for the second season:
