Zendaya says even she’s not sure if the series will ever return for a third season, according to Variety.HBO announced March 25 that Season 3 of “Euphoria” was being postponed — but that the network and series creator Sam Levinson “remain committed to making an exceptional third season.”“In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities,” an HBO spokesperson told Variety at the time.Zendaya, who plays Rue on the HBO series, told Variety Tuesday night — at the LA premiere of “Challengers” — that she wants the show to return, but is unaware of when or if Season 3 will begin production.“If it’s right for the characters and everything turns out the way it should, of course” she told Variety about a third season — adding that she’s “not in charge” of whether or not the show will return, even though she’s an executive producer of the series.“But it’s beyond me,” she said.Production on Season 3 had already been delayed due to the double-whammy WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in Hollywood and the death last July of co-star Angus Cloud, who played drug dealer Fez. Cloud was 25 and his death was ruled an accidental overdose due to a combination of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, benzodiazepine and other drugs.HBO announced last November that “Euphoria” would return in 2025 — but that was before the March postponement.Days after HBO announced the postponement of “Euphoria,” co-star Storm Reid, who plays Rue’s younger sister, Gia, spoke publicly about the news in an interview with Variety at the opening of USC’s new School of Dramatic Arts’ Drama Center.“I would hope the viewers, the audience will be able to finish the show,” she said.

Earlier this week, HBO gave an update for “Euphoria” Season 3 amid rumors of the network axing Sam Levinson‘s hit series. And no, it’s not canceled, only delayed, so that Levinson may finish his script and accommodate a time jump between S2 and S3.

Sydney Sweeney has said she “doesn’t know” when Euphoria season three will start filming.Fans of the hit HBO series, which stars Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sweeney, have been awaiting a third instalment for more than two years, after its cliffhanger season two finale aired in February 2022.The third season suffered delays to filming and production as a result of last year’s acting and writing strikes, as well as creator Sam Levinson’s delay in completing the script.In a recent statement, HBO announced that the upcoming season is still on hold, and that its in-demand cast are free to explore other acting opportunities in the interim.Speaking exclusively to NME, Sweeney has now admitted that she doesn’t know when production will continue, despite previously hinting that she’s already read the season’s scripts.“Um, I don’t know how soon I’m going home [to Euphoria],” she said. “I’m just doing all the press for Immaculate right now and then we’ll see.”Sweeney, who plays Cassie in the series, is still busy promoting her nun horror movie, having kicked off the year with the hit rom-com Anyone But You.In a recent interview with GQ, fellow Euphoria star Colman Domingo opened up about the possible reasons behind the third season’s delay.[Sam is] a person who writes and rewrites and writes and rewrites again, because I think he’s wrestling with what’s important.“He’s responding immediately to what the ills of the world are.

Yesterday, “Euphoria” fans received bad news. Following reports that season three of the hit HBO series was scrapped, spokespeople for the cable channel nearly admitted as much, reaffirmed their commitment to making it, but conceded the show was being delayed again.

Euphoria doesn’t seem to be arriving on screens anytime soon, following multiple delays.Fans of the hit HBO series, which stars Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney, have been awaiting a third instalment for more than two years, after its cliffhanger season two finale aired in February 2022.The third season suffered delays to filming and production as a result of last year’s acting and writing strikes, as well as creator Sam Levinson’s delay in completing the script.A statement made by the network (as per Deadline) revealed: “HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season.

The third season of Euphoria was set to begin filming this spring, but HBO has announced that the season is officially being delayed even further.

A flagship show with nine Emmy wins to date from 25 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series in 2022, HBO has been desperate for more of their critically acclaimed hit “Euphoria.” However, as showrunner Sam Levinson has taken detours (like 2023’s poorly received and canceled “The Idol”), the much-anticipated series was pushed to 2025. Now, amid new rumors that the third season would be scrapped entirely, HBO tells Variety that the series is still in the works and the show is still alive; however, its shooting schedule has been delayed again.

Euphoria season three is on hold.

With creator Sam Levinson still working on scripts for the upcoming third season of HBO’s Euphoria, filming plans have been temporarily put on hold, with the cast given permission to take other acting jobs in the interim.

Ellise Shafer “Euphoria” Season 3 has been delayed at HBO. “HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” an HBO spokesperson told Variety. “In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.” The scripts for Season 3 are still being written.

2024 didn’t get off to a great start for Hollywood rising star Sydney Sweeney with the dismal critical response to “Madame Web.” But that’s one lull for the young actress in three straight years of ascendant stardom.

Nika King, star of Euphoria, says she has not paid her rent in six months as production for Season 3 of the HBO series continues to be delayed.

Colman Domingo is opening up about Euphoria Season 3.

Colman Domingo explains why Euphoria Season 3 has been delayed, with the HBO show last airing in February 2022.

It’s already been more than eight months since the premiere of The Idol, The Weeknd‘s widely (and overly!) loathed HBO series, co-created with Euphoria‘s Sam Levinson. Bad reviews and middling ratings led to the show’s cancellation, and like most trending topics, the show has faded from our collective cultural memory.
