For example, production of Season 2 had to be delayed due to the pandemic and finally premiered in 2022. Despite the waiting, it was hugely successful and became one of the most-watched series for HBO since “Games of Thrones.”
How many seasons of Euphoria will there be?
While there were reports that Season 3 of the show was canceled, an HBO spokesperson confirmed to Variety that the third installment was moving forward: “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.”
According to the reports, Levinson, who is the main writer of the series, is still working on the scripts for Season 3. This hasn’t been the only reason that production has been delayed, as it also coincided with the Hollywood strikes.
While Season 3 is confirmed, it’s still unlikely that the show will get a fourth installment, especially as the cast gets older and more in-demand. Thanks to the show, Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney and Hunter Schafer have all launched their careers, and are now booked and busy.
The rest of the cast consists of Maude Apatow, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Nika King, Storm Reid, Colman Domingo and Austin Abrams. Angus Cloud, who played local drug dealer Fez, passed away in July 2023. In a recent stand-up comedy show, King said that she hasn’t been able to book roles outside of the show, despite its success.
When is Season 3 expected to be released?
In November 2023, HBO announced that the third season of the show was set to come out in 2025. With such a long wait, speculation arose that Season 3 might feature a five-year leap in time. However, this hasn’t been confirmed yet.
