These delays are much like the three-year hole “Severance” followers have simply gone by way of, or what “Home of the Dragon” followers are struggling by way of now. However even exterior the rising pattern of dragged-out TV present productions, the “Euphoria” season 3 manufacturing was uniquely troubled.

One other main delay was a tragedy past Levinson’s management: Angus Cloud, who performed one of many present’s standout characters, Fez, handed unexpectedly in 2023 at solely 25 years previous. Fez was a significant participant within the sequence, and it is unknown to what extent his dying has altered the Levinson’s plans for the sequence.
Issues had been sophisticated additional by solid member Barbie Ferreira’s departure from the present after season 2, in addition to the more and more busy schedules of almost each main actor nonetheless concerned. Since season 1 premiered, Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and Hunter Schafer have every change into a number of the most acclaimed and sought-after stars in Hollywood. “Euphoria” season 3 could also be taking without end, however contemplating all of the real-world issues concerned, typically it looks like a miracle this closing season is occurring in any respect.
