‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ Recap: Worst Trimester

When will Euphoria season 3 start filming?

The Euphoria season 3 delay comes down to significant script rewrites (not to mention how busy the cast is!). According to Variety, the current plan is for the Euphoria cast to work on other projects throughout 2024, and to come back with a 2025 filming plan on October 1. Filming could take at least 25 weeks. However, it looks like that plan could change at any time.

In a March 2024 interview with Who What Wear, Sydney Sweeney shared her excitement to return. "It’s going to be very, very wild,” she says. And regarding the time gap between seasons 2 and 3, Sydney “actually [likes] it because there’s so much room for growth for both me as a person and also Cassie as a character."

Storm Reid, who plays Rue's (Zendaya) little sister Gia in the series, expressed her hope (and a bit of hesitance) in for Euphoria season 3 in talks with E! News at the Challengerspremiere in April 2024.

"We're on pause right now, but we're anxious to get back," she said. "If it's meant to be, we'll be back soon and we'll give the audience what they want and deserve. Hopefully, we will be back."

On the other hand, according to an article published by Vanity Fair, another cast member (who wished to remain anonymous) says, “I just don’t think it will happen.”

The anonymous actor also shed some light on the show's delay.

“Since January of 2022, we have had a start date of March that turned into June, that turned into January,” they say. “And then they kept pushing every month from then on. It was two full years of HBO telling all the actors we were going back soon, so we couldn’t take some jobs.”

Now that Euphoria season 3 is officially on hiatus, the cast members aren't barred from taking further jobs, they say: “Before last week I couldn’t take any TV jobs. Since they have put it on hiatus, I can now take any job. But what sucks is that we all had more momentum right when the show came out but now it’s been 2 years of waiting.”

When is the Euphoria season 3 release date?

Now that the tentative filming date has been pushed back to 2025, we’re expecting the beloved show to return sometime in 2026. Luckily, fans are familiar with waiting a long time for new releases (remember that 2 ½-year wait for Euphoria season 2?), and hopefully the pent-up hype will be worth it when the show finally comes to streaming.

Why is Euphoria season 3 delayed?

We've been waiting for Euphoria season 3 for about two years, but (in addition to Zendaya being #BookedAndBlessed), there's a very good reason for the delay.

“[Sam Levinson is] a person who writes and rewrites and writes and rewrites again, because I think he's wrestling with what's important,” Colman Domingo tells GQ. “He's responding immediately to what the ills of the world are. I know that the one thing I can tell you is that he's very much interested in the existential question of who we are right now. Our souls. That's what he wants to figure out with season three.”

“HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” HBO says in a statement to Deadlineabout the show's official, if temporary, pause. “In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.”

So much has happened in the real world since the end of Euphoria season 2 that could have an impact on the new installment, and I can't wait to see what that looks like!

Will there be a time jump in Euphoria season 3?

Multiple stakeholders in the Euphoria-verse expressed their interest in seeing the characters out of high school. When asked about season 3 in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Zendaya expressed her eagerness to see what post-East Highland will look like for the cast:

“I think it’ll be exciting to explore the characters out of high school,” said Zendaya. “I want to see what Rue looks like in her sobriety journey, how chaotic that might look. But also with all the characters, in the sense where they’re trying to figure out what to do with their lives when high school is over and what kind of people they want to be.”

Heidi Bivens, the HBO show’s costume designer, hinted further at a time jump between seasons 2 and 3 when talking with Vogue: “There is talk of [season 3] being approximately five years in the future, and that they’re not in high school anymore. Dorothy’s not in Kansas anymore.”

What's going to happen in Euphoria season 3?

Season 2 of Euphoria left us with a lot to unpack: Rue’s (potential) sobriety, Lexi’s chaotic play, Fez and Ash’s shootings, Cal’s insane sexual spiral, and of course, the glorious girl fight between Maddy and Cassie. The third season has some loose ends to tie up, and we can’t wait to see how it’s done.

Sam Levinson tells EllethatEuphoria season 3 is more of a “film noir,” and that Rue's plot line will “explore what it means to be an individual with principles in a corrupt world.”

Originally, Sam showed multiple story ideas to both Zendaya and HBO (and although Z doesn't have total creative control, as an executive producer, she does get a say in where her story goes). The show will feature a time jump, bringing the characters closer to the actors' ages. According to Variety, the first draft of the script gave the "meaty" storyline to Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi, and featured Zendaya's Rue as a private detective in more of a background role. More recent rewrites incorporated Z's idea of making Rue, who would now be sober, a pregnancy surrogate. Unfortunately, "the new scripts simply didn’t feel like the show tonally."

Who's in the Euphoria season 3 cast?

And the cast list for Euphoria season 3? We know that Barbie Ferreira (Kat) won’t be returning for season 3, due to butting heads one too many times with the show’s creator, Sam Levinson.

At the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, Dominic Fike (who played Elliot in Euphoria season 2) told Variety it “would be dope” to come back for Euphoria season 3, but that “I don’t really talk to them anymore.” And after Angus Cloud's (Fez) tragic passing, some fans were calling for HBO Max to cancel the series.

But when we finally do see the series again, it’s safe to say that we’ll see more of the main cast: Zendaya (Rue), Sydney Sweeney, (Cassie), Hunter Schafer (Jules), Alexa Demie (Maddy), Jacob Elordi (Nate), Maude Apatow (Lexi), and more – but who knows? The production team may surprise us with new additions, like they did with Dominic Fike’s Elliot.

How many Euphoria seasons are there?

There are currently two seasons of Euphoria — both of which you can stream on HBO Max now. And it sounds like Euphoria season 3 will be the final installment. The Euphoria cast is contracted for the junior season, and according to a Variety source, they're all committed to seeing the story "through to the end with a third season."

Your Latest Look At Bridgerton Season 3

Eloise Bridgerton has always been sassy, and it looks like that won't stop in Bridgerton season 3.

I can't wait to see Hannah Dodd step into the role of Francesca Bridgerton and to play some amazing music. The show is known for its classical covers of pop songs — will we see Francesca play some Taylor Swift?

Nicola Coughlan's Penelope Featherington might be the star of the show this year, but (based on her expression) that doesn't mean the season will be smooth sailing. Is she annoyed with Colin? Her mother? Her sisters? The answer is probably D: all of the above.

Speaking of Penelope's mother, Lady Featherinton looks very springlike in shades of purple, pink, and green. Just like Penelope is redoing her wardrobe this year, it looks like her family could be following in her footsteps. I'm here for it!

Alice and Will look amazing in their new fashions, but it looks like there might be some trouble.

There is a lot going on in this Bridgerton season 3 pic and I need to dissect it immediately. Eloise looks distressed, Benedict looks concerned, and no one else is paying attention. I've always loved Benedict and Eloise's relationship, and I can't wait to see how that develops this season, and even in season 4!

I wish I could spend my days sitting in a garden with impeccable jewelry and a fan. However, my real question is: who's Penelope looking at? I'm betting it could be Colin Bridgerton. An early clip from Bridgerton season 3 showed Penelope finally confronting Colin about his horrible comments in season 2 and I need him to apologize more than I've ever needed anything.

Adjoa Andoh looks absolutely radiant as Lady Danbury, and I'm sure she will continue to slay all season long.

Colin Bridgerton looks as moody as ever. No one should be this moody after a bunch of summer travels!!

Penelope Featherington might be wearing pale seafoam for a lot of Bridgerton season 3, but it looks like she is also adding some darker jewel tones into the mix. Is she in her Reputation era?

It's up to Queen Charlotte to pick another Diamond of the Season, and judging by the look on her face, it won't be an easy task this year. But no matter how tough things get, I love that Brimsley is always right by her side!

It looks like tensions continue to mount between Penelope Featherington and Cressida Cowper...

...but that a new friendship might be blossoming between Cressida and Eloise Bridgerton? Needless to say, I am *shocked.*

Penelope looks incredible in her new fashions, and I'm convinced this is yet another tease for Penelope and Colin's highly-anticipated mirror scene.

There's nothing like a sibling card game with a glass of fresh lemonade, IYKYK. I hope Hyacinth beats all her siblings at every game from here on out.

I love the Bridgerton home more than anything. The shades of blue! The texture! The lighting! Add this to an Architectural Digest celebrity home tour STAT.
