The release of Euphoria seasons 1 and 2 has sparked the demand for Euphoria season 3. Why is this so? Is it because of the popularity of the previous two seasons? Or is it due to the interesting storyline and the actors’ stellar performances? Whichever one it is, one can’t deny that the Euphoria franchise has consistently delivered high-quality shows. So when will the production team release the third season?
Season 3 Plot lines
Season one ended with some unsolved mysteries, which were addressed in season 2. Now, the end of season two came with lots of riddles that left the viewers puzzled. Fans of Euphoria hope the next season will solve the mysteries present in the previous season. For example, will Rue remain the focus of the story in season 3?
Euphoria 3 Delay
Fans and avid watchers of Euphoria are once again disappointed to hear that the next season has been delayed again. This isn’t the first time this has happened, however, they had fervently hoped that it would come out earlier this year. Season one first came out in 2019, closely followed by season two. Both seasons got millions of views, an amount that surpassed even the creator’s (Sam Levinson) expectations. The show broke the internet as it went viral online with numerous likes, shares, clip uploads, and discussions.
Social Media Popularity
Euphoria gained unprecedented momentum on social media, most especially on X (Twitter). After uploading clips of season 1, most fans posted a live stream of all the episodes in season 2.
Not only that, they opened various discussion threads for uploading and sharing GIFs, discussing the storyline, and proposing theories. Therefore, by the time the second season ended, the show became the highest tweeted television show on X. Since seasons 1 and 2 generated much hype on the internet, the anticipation for Euphoria season 3 is much higher.
Euphoria Season 3 – Reasons for the Delay
-
Problem with the Scripts
A media outlet exposed the reasons for the delay, citing the show’s scripts as an example. According to the reporter, the scripts are still underway and are yet to be delivered to the actors. This means that it will take a while for Euphoria season 3 to start filming, not to talk of airing it for the audience.
-
Hollywood Strike
The only problem with the scripts is that they were not finalised on time. This was caused by the Hollywood strikes that halted the entertainment industry in Hollywood. So things like acting, script-writing, live shows, and so on were paused till the strikes were resolved. Putting script writing on hold has affected several shows, like Euphoria season 3.
-
Production Quality
Similarly, a representative for the production company said that Levinson and the crew wanted to produce another top-quality show. As a result, they are taking their time to go through the scripts, and set up excellent sets.
-
Conflicting Schedules
He also alluded to the actors’ busy schedules as an additional contributing factor to the delay. Many Euphoria actors are already committed to other projects which coincide with the previous filming schedule of Euphoria season 3. Hence, the show has to accommodate them, pending the time the third season’s scripts are finalised.
Official Statements
An executive of the production company in charge of making Euphoria, in an interview, updated fans about what happened. She ascertained that the script writing process had begun before the strikes, but they had to stop when the strikes started. As a result, there were fewer scripts available, fewer than what was required. Nevertheless, all hands are on deck to ensure the smooth sailing of the new season as Hollywood has resumed work again.
-
New Release Date
A new release date is on the horizon, and it might be in the year 2025 in lieu of 2024. One of the stars hinted at 2025 during his June interview. In the actor’s words, 2024 is not the release year for Euphoria season 3, but it might happen in 2025 instead. He assured viewers at home that organisers of the show would not cancel it, despite people’s speculations. Social media users alleged that the actor’s optimism stemmed from people’s anticipation for the show to return.

Year 2025, The Supposed Release Date
Likewise, a major news channel confirmed the actor’s words by stating that 2025 is the targeted year for season 3. They affirmed that the show will debut in 2025. However, if the crew starts production in November or December this year, they will have to work around the actors’ tight schedules.
Filming Euphoria: Season 3
Since the Euphoria three’s scripts are not ready, then the filming time of the show will be affected. Sydney, one of the actresses, confirmed that she would be returning to Euphoria once she’s done with her current work. To her, going back to Euphoria season 3 is like going home, since she’s familiar with the rest of the cast. Her answer signified the return of the third season, even though a definite release date hasn’t been given.
Conclusion
Although Euphoria’s return date is unknown, it hasn’t diminished fans’ enthusiasm for the show. Instead, it greatly whets their appetite for more. As soon as the series airs, fans will definitely watch it for various reasons. Some will watch to entertain themselves, others will tune in to get answers to questions that arise in season 2. Lastly, Euphoria season 3 promises to be an excellent show if we go by the quality of the previous seasons.
