Very few shows manage to break the cultural mold and completely take over the social media discussion, and HBO had their golden goose with Sam Levinson’s Euphoria. A rumor had recently been going around that the third season has been cancelled, but that apparently isn’t the case.
According to The Independent, a representative from HBO has confirmed that the series isn’t dead and “Euphoria is going into production in 2025. Nothing has changed.” A third season had been greenlit way back in 2022, but because of the writers’ strike and several issues with show creator Sam Levinson, the third season hasn’t managed to get off the ground.
If anything, it wouldn’t be a total surprise if the third season got cancelled. Besides all the complaints about Levinson’s work ethic and behaviour on set, several main actors in the series have only gotten more famous since the last season. Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, and Jacob Elordi have come out to be rising stars, and everyone is worried that they won’t manage to be free by the time Euphoria Season 3 starts production.
Can they even still play convincing high schoolers?
A rumor has suggested a time skip for whole timeline, and it’s interesting to see what could change. I’ll admit, being in high school is only half the drama of the show, but it feels like something is going to be lost when everyone makes the shift from teen to young adult.
If anything, as long as the vibes are right, I’m sure Euphoria 3 is still going to be a jam. In the meantime, the series still has no set release date on HBO yet.
