Season 3 ofEuphoria is always something to be doubtful about. This time, it's an important actress who will not return.
Season 3 ofEuphoria will it be released before 2030? This is the question that the American media ask almost every month. The HBO series, currently made up of two seasons and two special episodes, should have a sequel. But the sticks are piling up in his wheels. Firstly, she is a bit of a victim of her success: having propelled a good part of her cast (Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer) to the firmament of the star system, she has to deal with more than busy schedules.

However, this is far from being the end for Reid, who also pursued a Hollywood career in the wake ofEuphoria. Recently seen in another HBO series, The Last of Usshe will headline Teyana Taylor's first feature film, Get Litepour Paramount.
As for this season 3, despite the rumors of yet another postponement and the general perplexity at the sight of the overloaded schedule of Zendaya, Jacob Elordi or Syndey Sweeney, it should enter production in July 2025.
