Unfortunately no one will see Euphoria for another calendar year. The president of HBO Casey Bloys confirmed that the author’s acclaimed teen drama series Sam Levinson which has as its protagonist Zendaya, Emmy winner, will return to the premium cable network in 2025 after about three years of absence.

Details about the third season are being kept under wraps, though Levinson said a Elle who sees it as a “film noir”. In upcoming episodes, the troubled but well-intentioned Rue (Zendaya) “will explore what it means to be a principled individual in a corrupt world,” the author explained. Here’s what else we know about the upcoming episodes.

So Euphoria Won’t he come back for another year?

The production of the third season of Euphoria it hasn’t started yet, partly due to the now-over screenwriters’ strike and the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. Excuse me!

What happened at the end of season 2?

The finale of the second season of Euphoria it was, to put it mildly, a real disaster. The series picks up from the second part of a very self-referential play written by Lexi (Maude Apatow) about his childhood in «Euphoria-ville». Maddy (Alexa Demie) realizes she’s a central character in the show (“Is this play about us?”) and goes on a rampage, slapping her former best friend, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney), ruining the performance.

Outside the theater, Nate (Jacob Elordi) confronts his father, Cal (Eric Dane), with a flash drive containing all his compromising videos, then tips off the police which leads to his arrest. Fez (Angus Cloud) also has a run-in with the police, which leads to a shootout in his apartment during which his “little brother” Ashtray (Javon Walton) is shot and Fez arrested. Rue has a heart-to-heart with Jules (Hunter Schafer), his ex-girlfriend, with whom he hopes to reconcile while confessing his love for her. The season ends on a note of cautious optimism: Rue reveals she stayed clean for the rest of the school year and, for once, she looks to the future with hope.

I can at least look at the stars of Euphoria somewhere else while I wait for the new season?

Yes! While Euphoria closed its doors after the season 2 finale on February 27, 2022, the cast of troubled teens has been keeping busy with other projects. Zendaya was set to star in two highly anticipated films this fall: the sequel to Dunes by Denis Villeneuve, Dune: Part Two and the tennis ménage à trois of Luca Guadagnino, Challengers with Josh Charles And Mike Faist. However, both films were pushed back to 2024 due to the Hollywood strikes.

Hunter Schafer will be present in the upcoming prequel of The Hunger Games – The Tale of the Nightingale and the Serpent, with Rachel Zegler And Viola Davis. Sydney Sweeneywho plays the lovable mess Cassie in Euphoria, he demonstrated his versatility by acting in two very different films: Reality And Anyone But You. He got some recognition for his performance as Reality Winner, an American intelligence mole, in the Max drama, which hit the streaming platform in May. He also made people talk about himself Everyone except you a romantic comedy that will arrive in Italian cinemas on January 25, 2024, a film that seems to have been jailed for a possible off-set love story with his colleague Glenn Powell.

Sweeney isn’t the only one to have been involved in films that deserve to be awarded. About her Her secret boyfriend of EuphoriaNate, played by the Australian Jacob Elordi, is the protagonist of two projects by female authors: Saltburn Of Emerald Fennellwhere he plays a wealthy Oxford student, and Priscilla Of Sofia Coppola, where he plays Elvis Presley, wonderful, by all accounts, Priscilla Presley, with his vocal imitation of the King of rock and roll. Colman Domingo who won an Emmy for his role as Rue’s sponsor, Ali Muhammed, in Euphoriahas also had a busy awards season in 2023. He’s gaining notice for his portrayal of queer civil rights activist Bayard Rustin in the Netflix biopic Rustin direct from George C. Wolfe. Additionally, he plays the evil Mister in the highly anticipated film adaptation of the Broadway musical The color purple, with Barrino fantasy And Danielle Brooks.

And what about the creator of Euphoria Sam Levinson?

Levinson has also been keeping busy: he directed the critically and commercially panned HBO drama The Idol with protagonist Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye And Lily-Rose Depp. He will have a lot of time to focus on Euphoria once the actors’ strike is over, given that The Idol it was canceled after just one season.

What will happen to the stars we won’t see again in season three?

Barbie Ferreira, who played Kat in the first two seasons of the series, has left Euphoria following tensions with Levinson. Also Angus Cloudcast member of Euphoria, will not appear in season three: The actor, who memorably played the beloved drug dealer Fez, died of an accidental overdose this summer, at the age of 25. After his passing, his colleagues Euphoria paid tribute to him: «Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty of Angus (Conor)», he wrote Zendaya in an Instagram caption that accompanied a photo of Cloud. «I am so grateful to have had the chance to know him in this life, to call him brother, to see his warm kind eyes and his bright smile, or to hear his contagious laugh… Just remembering it makes me smile again».
