HBO renewed Euphoria for a third season in February 2022 — but didn't offer a premiere date yet. Based on the show's past filming schedule, Euphoria was expected to return in late 2023 or early 2024.

However, the dual WGA and SAG strikes initially pushed production back and HBO later confirmed that Euphoria was delayed again. “HBO and [creator] Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” a spokesperson for the network told Us Weekly in March 2024. “In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.

During an interview with Variety , Eric Dane confirmed that there were plans to start shooting season 3 in November 2022, adding, "It’s always going to be changing." Production was ultimately delayed due to the 2023 WGA strike, Levinson’s other project The Idol and Zendaya’s busy schedule. “Euphoria is one of those [shows] that we had begun writing in tandem with post-production on Idol, but at this point, we don’t have countless scripts,” HBO executive Francesca Orsi said to TV Line in May 2023.

“We can’t start shooting, so the delivery of that show — ideally in 2025 — will be determined on when we can pick back up with Sam, who at this point is [not writing] and just finishing post on Idol.” Zendaya confirmed in November 2024 that filming is set to begin in early 2025. “[Euphoria] is slated for January, I believe,” she told Vanity Fair .

“I haven’t read anything yet, but I’m excited to see what everyone has been working on, and what the future looks like for Euphoria. I don’t really have much of an answer except for right now it’s set to start shooting in January.” Credit: Eddy Chen/HBO What Will Season 3 Explore? The season 2 finale seemingly wrapped up Rue's ( Zendaya ) journey to reach sobriety.

In August 2023, Levinson revealed during an interview with Elle that he views season 3 as a “film noir” that will explore “what it means to be an individual with principles in a corrupt world” through the eyes of Rue. Maddy ( Alexa Demie ) and Cassie's ( Sydney Sweeney ) fight also presented an opportunity for their former friendship to be explored in season 3.

"I think it’ll be exciting to explore the characters out of high school," she told The Hollywood Reporter when asked about her hopes for the third season in August 2022. "I want to see what Rue looks like in her sobriety journey, how chaotic that might look. But also with all the characters, in the sense where they’re trying to figure out what to do with their lives when high school is over and what kind of people they want to be.

" HBO CEO and chairman Casey Bloys confirmed in June 2024 that Levinson was planning a major time jump. “One of the issues I think that Sam is thinking about is that he doesn’t want to have it in high school anymore,” Bloys shared at the time. “That’s where it was set and what made sense then.

So when you take it out of that, there’s a lot of back and forth about where to set it and how far in the future to set it and all that stuff. But I think he’s got a take that he’s excited about, and he’s busy writing.” Credit: Eddy Chen/HBO Will Elliot Return? During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in February 2022, Dominic Fike confirmed that he will "absolutely" be coming back for the third season.

So, you know, he needs to make the most of it.

He's a 13-year-old boy in the show, you know, he has a lot to live for.” That August, the Georgia native told E! News that he had "no clue" if his character would make a comeback. "And I'm not just saying that.

"Woah girl, you trying to get me fired," King joked to Us in September 2022.

"No, girl. I can't tease. Ain't no teasing.

But it's gonna be an amazing season 3. I mean I think every character has more life to them and Sam is going to bring those characters to life, and I just can't wait to see what he cooks up."

“I don’t know [when we resume filming]. Do you know?” Elordi joked with the host. “I hope it’s soon, or they’re going to have to Benjamin Button me or something.

I’m going to have a bad back walking down the hallway, you know?” Elordi mentioned his hopes for a potential time jump, adding, “I’m assuming that we’ll have to go forward, otherwise it’s going to seem, like a weird bit.” In order to view the gallery, please allow Manage Cookies For access to all our exclusive celebrity videos and interviews – Subscribe on YouTube!.
