Fans of the hit HBO series “Euphoria” have been eagerly anticipating the release of its third season. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing writers’ strike by the Writers Guild of America, the release date has been pushed back to 2026. The show’s creator, Sam Levinson, has been focused on his new series “The Idol,” which means writing for “Euphoria” has been put on hold. The future scheduling plans for the teen drama and other HBO shows affected by the strike, such as “The Last Of Us” and “The White Lotus,” currently remain uncertain.
Despite the disappointment of the delay, there is a silver lining for fans. The production team now has more time to work on the show, which could ultimately benefit its popularity given that fans will most likely still be anticipating the next season three years from now. There have also been rumors that Season 3 of “Euphoria” may include a five-year time jump, though exact plot details remain unknown. For those who are new to the show or want to relive the first two seasons, they are currently available to stream on HBO Max.

“Euphoria” follows a group of high school students as they navigate various challenges, including drug addiction, sexuality, and trauma. The show has become one of HBO’s most-watched series and has received critical acclaim for its raw and unflinching portrayal of youth culture. Levinson’s new series, “The Idol,” debuted on June 4th and is equally shocking and thought-provoking as “Euphoria.” While fans may have to wait a little longer for Season 3 of their favorite show, the good news is that most of the cast, excluding Barbie Ferreira, are expected to return.
Levinson’s new series, “The Idol,” debuted on June 4th and is considered equally shocking and thought-provoking as “Euphoria.” While fans may have to wait a little longer for Season 3 of their favorite show, they can look forward to experiencing Levinson’s unique storytelling in his upcoming project.
Although it’s disappointing news for fans, it’s important to remember that the writers’ strike is an important issue that affects the livelihoods of writers in the entertainment industry. It’s a reminder that these shows are made possible by the hard work of many people behind the scenes, including writers who deserve fair compensation and treatment.
According to various reports, Zendaya has renegotiated her contract with HBO and will now earn around $1 million per episode for season 3 of the show. This puts her in the league of actors who receive seven-figure salaries for their TV roles. It is reported that Zendaya’s successful acting career outside of Euphoria, including her roles in the MCU’s Spider-Man films and Dune, has contributed to her deserving such a high salary.
This significant pay raise reportedly makes Zendaya one of the highest-paid Black actresses in television history. However, it is worth noting that while the $1 million mark has been considered a milestone, it may soon become a thing of the past due to the current saturation of TV shows and streaming services tightening their budgets. In fact, the highest-paid actress on television currently surpasses this mark.
Despite this, it is clear that Zendaya’s talent and hard work have paid off, both on and off-screen. Her performance in Euphoria has earned her two Emmy wins, and her career continues to soar with exciting projects in the pipeline.
