Fans of Euphoria have been eagerly awaiting the show’s return for over two years, and the wait isn’t over just yet. HBO addressed recent rumors that the hit teen drama is getting an ax and announced that the Season 3 shot has been delayed because the scripts aren’t done yet.
Despite the chatter about Euphoria’s potential cancelation, HBO made it clear they’re all in for Season 3. They shared a statement with several major outlets, saying they “remain committed to making an exceptional third season” alongside its creator Sam Levinson.
The start of production has been pushed back to give Levinson more time to work on the scripts. While waiting for the Euphoria train to roll again, the show’s star-studded cast has been given permission to pursue other opportunities in the interim.
Many of the show’s stars established themselves as successful actors outside of Euphoria since this show first premiered in 2019. Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, and Hunter Schafer all starred in several high-profile projects, while their supporting star Colman Domingo scored an Oscar nomination for Rustin earlier this year.
Maude Apatow, Alexa Demie, Eric Dane, Nika King, and Storm Reid also starred in the first two seasons of Euphoria. Angus Cloud tragically passed away between Season 2 and 3, while Barbie Ferreira announced her departure in 2022.
