Breaking: HBO Confirms Euphoria Season 3 Production Schedule for 2025

HBO CEO Casey Bloys has put an end to months of speculation by confirming that everything is set for the production of Euphoria's highly anticipated third season. The Emmy-winning series, which has captivated audiences worldwide since its 2019 debut, is scheduled to begin filming in January 2025.

Star-Studded Cast Returns Despite Busy Schedules

The delay in production has largely been attributed to the increasingly packed schedules of the show's now-superstar cast. However, HBO has confirmed that all major players will return, including:

Zendaya (Rue Bennett)

Sydney Sweeney (Cassie Howard)

Jacob Elordi (Nate Jacobs)

Hunter Schafer (Jules Vaughn)

Storm Reid

Alexa Demie

Eric Dane

Notable Cast Changes

The new season will mark the first without Angus Cloud, who tragically passed away in July 2023. Additionally, Barbie Ferreira, who played Kat Hernandez, has officially departed from the series.

Creative Direction and Time Jump

Creator Sam Levinson has pitched a bold new direction for the third season, including a five-year time jump. Early reports suggest significant character developments, including Rue potentially working as a private investigator. However, HBO has mandated that the show maintain its signature tone that fans have come to love from the first two seasons.

What to Expect
