Fans of the HBO series Euphoria have been left disappointed as the highly anticipated third season faces delays. The American high school drama, which last aired between January and February 2022, has encountered setbacks in production due to the Hollywood strikes and the tragic passing of cast member Angus Cloud, known for his role as Fez, the local drug dealer.
Since its inception in 2019, Euphoria has served as a platform for launching the careers of its cast members, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, and Jacob Elordi. The success of the show has made scheduling coordination among the actors more challenging.
An HBO spokesperson assured fans that the network and show creator Sam Levinson are dedicated to delivering an exceptional third season. Scripts for the upcoming season are still in the writing phase, dispelling earlier rumors of the show's cancellation.
Despite HBO's announcement that Euphoria season 3 is set to premiere in 2025, fans have taken to social media to express their frustration over the prolonged wait. Speculation about a potential five-year time jump in the new season has also circulated.
Cast members, including Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney, have shared their thoughts on the production delay. Elordi humorously suggested that the show might need to feature a futuristic setting due to the extended hiatus, while Sweeney expressed her excitement about returning to the Euphoria family.
Although Sweeney hinted at filming for season 3 before the production delay was announced, details about the timeline remain uncertain. The show's loyal fan base eagerly awaits updates on the progress of the new season and the eventual return of their favorite characters.
