HBO’s Intensely Bingeable Syndey Sweeney Drama Series Surges Ahead of New Season
A few years ago, it seemed impossible that a new season of Euphoria would ever make it back to the small screen. The show was one of HBO’s biggest breakout hits of the last few years, and it turned several of its regulars, like Sydney Sweeney, Zendaya, and Jacob Elordi, into massive breakout stars. However, despite several bumps in the road, it’s now been confirmed that the third season of Euphoria will premiere this April. After HBO released the first trailer for Euphoria Season 3 a few weeks ago, fans have begun rewatching the show, which has pushed it back to the top of HBO Max streaming charts.
Although there was a three-year gap between the first and second seasons of Euphoria, almost no time passed on-screen. This isn’t the case with the second and third seasons, though, which will experience a five-year time jump. Not only are most of the core characters no longer in high school, but they’re also out of college and pursuing other careers. Plot specifics about Euphoria Season 3 are being kept under wraps, but it has been confirmed that Jules (Hunter Schafer) will be a sex worker, and Nate (Jacob Elordi) and Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) have entered a relationship.
Euphoria was written and created for TV by Sam Levinson, who is also the primary director on the show. Levinson has worked on other projects for HBO, including The Idol, which was panned by critics and audiences and canceled after one controversial season. Around the same time as Euphoria Season 2, he also wrote the script for Deep Water, the erotic thriller starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas that’s streaming on Hulu.
Will There Be a Fourth Season of ‘Euphoria’?
It’s far too early to predict whether there will be a fourth season of Euphoria or if the show will end at Season 3. It took quite a while to get Season 3 into production and ready for the small screen, which certainly could hinder HBO from greenlighting a potential fourth season. The show is expected to be a massive streaming juggernaut during its third season, and if ratings demand another season, HBO could push hard for Season 4. Working around the busy schedules of its budding stars will certainly make things more difficult, though.
