Euphoria Will Not Return For Season 4, Its Creator Has Finally Confirmed

The season finale of Euphoria has now premiered, and with it, its creator has announced that the show will not be returning to our screens.

Speculation has been rampant since even before season three had even started airing that the latest run of episodes would be the show’s last.

Finally, on Sunday evening, it was confirmed that the award-winning drama has reached its end.

After the episode aired, executive producer Sam Levinson said on the New York Times podcast Popcast: “In terms of the story that we set out to tell, which is a story about addiction and its consequences, this feels like the end to me.”

In the run-up to season three’s release, series lead Zendaya indicated that she didn’t see a future for Euphoria past the episodes that had already been shot.

“I think so, yeah,” she told Drew Barrymore when asked if she thought Euphoria would end with season three. “I think so. Yeah. Closure is coming!”

Sam Levinson also told Variety at the new season’s premiere that he writes every iteration of Euphoria “like it’s the last”, and has “no plans” to continue it in the future right now.

“I want to finish this as strong as I can,” he noted. “I’m [putting the finishing touches on episodes] seven and eight still.”

He added: “I just want to deliver a fucking slam dunk season.”

It’s fair to say that Euphoria’s third season has been the most divisive in its entire run, with some critics suggesting the show lost its footing in growing its characters up from high-school students to young adults.

The show’s depiction of women has also been called into question, with the penultimate episode and finale also serving up back-to-back deaths of major characters.

All three seasons of Euphoria are available to stream on Sky and Now in the UK.
