Storm Reid, known for her role as Gia in the hit series Euphoria, recently addressed the delay of the show's highly anticipated third season. Reid expressed her hope that viewers would have the opportunity to see the show through to its completion, emphasizing the care and dedication the cast has put into the series.
Reid's comments came amidst speculation surrounding the delay, with an HBO spokesperson confirming the network's commitment to delivering an exceptional third season. Reports of a potential cancellation were debunked, highlighting that scripts for the upcoming season were still in progress.
The delay in Euphoria's return was attributed to various factors, including creator Sam Levinson's involvement in another series and lead actress Zendaya's busy schedule. The impact of industry strikes further contributed to the hiatus, with production costs potentially rising as a result.
Euphoria, which premiered in 2019, follows the journey of Rue Bennett, played by Zendaya, as she navigates sobriety and high school life post-rehab. The ensemble cast, featuring talents like Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, and Jacob Elordi, has garnered critical acclaim for its portrayal of addiction and mental health issues.
The upcoming season is expected to delve into the fate of Fezco, portrayed by the late Angus Cloud. The second season's conclusion left fans speculating about the character's future following a tragic event involving his younger brother, Ashtray.
Despite the delay, cast members like Sydney Sweeney have hinted at a return to production, suggesting that work on the third season may be underway. Euphoria's dedicated fan base eagerly anticipates the continuation of the series and the exploration of its complex characters and storylines.
