Euphoria season 3 is one of the most highly-anticipated upcoming series on TV, with the HBO show garnering a big audience over its first two seasons. So when is the projected release date for its third season, and when is it coming out? Here’s what we know so far.
Is there a Euphoria Season 3 release date?
Euphoria season 3’s release date likely won’t arrive until 2025 at the earliest. This is based on comments made by HBO’s head of drama Francesca Orsi.
Orsi made the comments via Deadline, revealing that the show would “ideally” return in 2025. This would mean a three-year gap between season 2 and 3, which was released back in January 2022.
The second season of the show was affected by the pandemic, which delayed filming and ensured that fans of the drama had a two-and-a-half-year to endure after watching the first season. This delay between seasons 2 and 3 is now the result of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike, as writing has been paused at HBO leading to few scripts for Euphoria season 3 being delivered.
“Euphoria is one of those that we had begun writing in tandem with post-production on Idol but at this point, we don’t have countless scripts,” Orsi said of the delay. “We can’t start shooting, so the delivery of that show — ideally in 2025 — will be determined on when we can pick back up with Sam, who at this point is all pencils down and just finishing posts on Idol.”
Euphoria season 3 will continue following the lives of its gang of high schoolers, as they contend with issues such as drug addiction, love, and loss. The series stars Zendaya as Ruby “Rue” Bennett, a drug addict out of rehab who is the series’ narrator.
