Euphoria Season 3 Production Delayed Amid Script Reworks and Creative Differences

HBO and Sam Levinson work to reconcile differing visions for the show's future, as the cast explores other opportunities.

HBO delays the start of production for Euphoria Season 3 due to creative disagreements and script reworks, including a proposed time jump and new character arcs.
Zendaya's suggestions for her character Rue, including working as a private detective and being a pregnancy surrogate, were vetoed by HBO, aligning with fan reactions that the ideas didn't fit the show's tone.
The cast of Euphoria is freed up to pursue other projects in 2024, with HBO promising a solid plan by October 1 to begin filming in 2025.
Sam Levinson, the creator of Euphoria, faces challenges in reworking the script after the deaths of actor Angus Cloud and producer Kevin Turen, and considering Zendaya's input.
Despite uncertainties, HBO and the cast remain committed to producing an exceptional third season, exploring options like one-off movies and specials from the Euphoria universe.
