‘Euphoria’ Season 3 Postponed Indefinitely—Throwing HBO Series’ Future Into Uncertainty

The show has already suffered numerous delays, and its busy cast of actors, who play high schoolers in the series, are now in their late 20s.

HBO said it is “allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities” while production on “Euphoria” is postponed, likely a nod to how many members of its star-studded cast—including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi—have booked major film roles since starring in the series. The third season was once set to begin filming in late 2023, according to a Vogue profile of “Euphoria” star Maude Apatow, though production was pushed following the writers’ and actors’ strikes and the unexpected death of cast member Angus Cloud in July 2023. Elordi addressed these concerns in an interview with Jimmy Fallon in January, joking that he hopes filming is “soon, or they’re going to have to Benjamin Button me or something.” He said he assumes the third season may jump forward in time, “otherwise, it’s going to seem like a weird bit.” The show’s costume designer, Heidi Bivens, told Vogue last year “there is talk of it being approximately five years in the future, and that they’re not in high school anymore.”
