Euphoria: the boss of HBO gives encouraging news about season 3

We were starting to no longer believe it but the boss of HBO and Max, Casey Bloys, finally confirmed it: season 3 ofEuphoria will begin filming next January, almost three years after the launch of season 2.

A long-awaited season

"We’re going to shoot Euphoria," declared Bloys according to Variety. “I believe we have a shooting start date planned for the second half of January.”

He added that he had read the scripts for this new season and was satisfied with them, and that all the actors in the series would be back.

“I know the show gets a lot of attention because it has made some of the actors into real movie stars who are working on various projects, but we are going to be filming this season and nothing has changed,” Bloys continued.

He also specified that this season 3 will be made up of eight episodes.

Last March, when production on this long-awaited new season was due to begin soon, HBO postponed its filming in order to give Sam Levinson, the creator of the series, time to refine the scripts for these new episodes.

At the time, we only knew thatEuphoria will jump back in time five years and that Rue (Zendaya) and her friends will therefore no longer be in high school for this season 3.

If Bloys indicated that the actors of the series will all return for this third season, this should at least involve Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Storm Reid, Dominic Fike or even Eric Dane. However, we know that actress Barbie Ferreira has chosen to leave the series, and that the premature death of actor Angus Cloud in July 2023 means that we will not see Fezco’s character again in the show.

In addition to filmingEuphoriathe stars of the series will be busy in 2025. Zendaya was recently announced in the casting of the next Christopher Nolan film and will also return to Marvel to play MJ in Spider-Man 4while Jacob Elordi will participate in the adaptation of the novel Wuthering Heights with Margot Robbie.

The schedule of HBO and its Max streaming platform being rather busy for 2025, there is little chance that season 3 ofEuphoria will be broadcast next year, even if its filming will take place at the beginning of the year.
