Zendaya’sEuphoriais a record-breaking hit even though critics call it a glorious mess or an excessive fantasy. As fans continue to wait for Season 3, which was supposed to be released this year, its delay has come as upsetting news as the season gets pushed back to 2025. And yes, there is more than one reason for this delay, one being Sam Levinson himself.
EuphoriaSeason 3 Dogged By Two Reasons
Sam Levinson‘sEuphoriais now likely to air in 2023 due to the ongoing writer’s strike, and of course, the director’s controversial series,The Idol,which is scheduled for release on July 11, 2025. It was previously reported that Levinson was enrolled after Amy Seimetz, quit the series after 80% of shooting amid irreconcilable creative differences with The Weeknd (who scrapped most of the script)

In a recent interview with Deadline, HBO drama chief Francesca Orsi said:
“Euphoria’ is one of those that we had begun writing in tandem with post-production on ‘Idol’ but at this point, we don’t have countless scripts.”
“We can’t start shooting, so the delivery of that show — ideally in 2025 — will be determined on when we can pick back up with Sam, who at this point is all pencils down and just finishing posts on Idol.”
Besides Orsi, the series’ costume designer Heidi Bivens also shed light on the fate ofZendaya‘s upcoming season, as she hoped the upcoming season to start shooting this June. Calling the season a possible time jump, she added,“There is talk of it being approximately five years in the future,”which means the cast won’t be in high school anymore.
