‘Euphoria’ won’t be coming back anytime soon
Euphoria doesn’t seem to be arriving on screens anytime soon, following multiple delays.Fans of the hit HBO series, which stars Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney, have been awaiting a third instalment for more than two years, after its cliffhanger season two finale aired in February 2022.The third season suffered delays to filming and production as a result of last year’s acting and writing strikes, as well as creator Sam Levinson’s delay in completing the script.A statement made by the network (as per Deadline) revealed: “HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season. In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.”Elordi, who plays the toxic lead male character, Nate Jacobs, received acclaim for his recent feature films, dark comedy thriller, Saltburn and memoir-adapted biopic Priscilla, in which he portrayed Elvis Presley.Meanwhile Sweeney, who plays divisive and naïve Cassie, has been promoting her latest project, horror movie, Immaculate, after kicking off the year with romcom, Anyone But You.Zendaya, who has earned Emmy awards for her portrayal of the show’s central role, Rue, a troubled teenage drug addict, has been celebrating the success of Dune: Part Two, and will soon be promoting upcoming romantic sports film, Challengers.Also recognised for his performance in Euphoria is Colman Domingo, who received the award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama in 2022, for his portrayal of recovering drug addict Ali.
