The highly anticipated third season of "Euphoria" has officially kicked off, igniting excitement among fans. HBO has announced the commencement of production for the acclaimed drama series, unveiling a captivating first-look photo from the upcoming season. The snapshot features Zendaya's character, Rue, glancing over her shoulder in a dimly lit room, setting the tone for what promises to be another intense journey. Alongside the image, HBO's social media channels echoed the excitement with the concise message, "Euphoria season 3 is in production."
The resumption of filming marks a significant milestone, occurring three years after the Season 2 premiere on HBO. This timeline more or less aligns with the cable network's commitment from last summer, promising a January start to production. The extensive hiatus between seasons has been attributed to various factors, ranging from coordinating the schedules of the show's sought-after cast to creator and showrunner Sam Levinson's involvement in HBO's troubled production of "The Idol." As detailed in a cover story by The Hollywood Reporter last year, the extended break also witnessed a cooling in the relationship between Zendaya and Levinson.
The core ensemble of "Euphoria," including Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and Colman Domingo, is poised to reprise their roles for the eight-episode third season. Notably absent, however, is Storm Reid. In a podcast interview in October, Zendaya revealed that the season will incorporate a time jump, propelling the show's younger characters beyond the confines of high school and into new territories.
While a premiere date for Season 3 remains under wraps, fans eagerly await further updates. Meanwhile, another major HBO series has also shared production news over the weekend. At a fan convention in Orlando, stars Matt Smith and Fabian Frankel of "House of the Dragon" revealed that they are well into production for Season 3, with filming having commenced last month.
