Fans have been understandably concerned amid reports suggesting that Euphoria is canceled. Fans rejoiced as the series was officially renewed for Season 3 in February 2022. Furthermore, HBO announced that the third season was slated for a premiere in 2025. However, amid ongoing delays and swirling rumors, fans have been wondering whether Euphoria Season 3 has been canceled or simply delayed.
Here is everything to know about the fate of Euphoria season 3.
Is Euphoria canceled or renewed for Season 3?
No, Euphoria Season 3 is not canceled; it is simply delayed.
Euphoria Season 3 is still in the works but has faced delays for varied reasons. According to Variety, an HBO spokesperson confirmed that both the network and creator Sam Levinson are dedicated to delivering an exceptional third season. They further added that, in the meantime, the cast members are free to pursue other opportunities, indicating that filming for Season 3 might take some time. Deadline also reported that Levinson is still working on the script for the new season.
The cast members expected to return in Season 3 are Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, and Alexa Demie.
Why Euphoria Season 3 is taking so long to arrive?
Euphoria Season 3 is delayed for several reasons, including Hollywood strikes, an unfinished script, and the death of Angus Cloud.
Like several other shows, Euphoria Season 3 was delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. Additionally, Angus Cloud, who portrayed Fezco O’Neill aka Fez, a local drug dealer in the show, tragically passed away in 2023. Furthermore, several main cast members, such as Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney, have taken on other Hollywood projects, making it more challenging to coordinate the production schedules.
In the end, fans need not worry. Euphoria will indeed return for its highly-anticipated third season.
