While it seemed like Euphoria season 3 was maybe never going to happen, the last year has changed that, and yes, it is in fact headed to HBO. But when? That’s the problem.
There’s news out that Euphoria season 3 has just finished filming. Cool, but there’s a post-production past that, giving us our eventual release date, plus the fact that this has been an absolutely inexcusable wait for a show that did not need to have it. However, it’s mostly good news from here.
- Euphoria season 2 ended filming around November 25, 2021, and the season was released on January 9, 2022. That’s barely two months for post-production, which is wild.
- That means if Euphoria season 3 is finished filming now, we could see it in January 2026. But past indicators are that it will not hit until spring, which is usually thought to be March, April or May. But still, it’s not that far away, and some other shows take a year or more for post-production. This will be a few months at most, it looks like.
- The gap between these seasons is still insane. Season 1 and Season 2 had around a year and a half gap between them. With these estimates, Season 2 and Season 3 will have at or around a four year gap in between them, longer than even the absurd distances between series like Wednesday or Stranger Things.
What happened here? Showrunner/writer Sam Levinson seemed wobbly on season 3 from the start, and during the gap, made the much-derided The Idol, which was immediately cancelled after it aired.
Past that, the cast, especially three key members, have been insanely busy. That would be Zendaya with projects like Spider-Man, Dune and Challengers, Sydney Sweeney with Anyone But You, Immaculate and Christy, and Jacob Elordi with Saltburn, Priscilla and the just-released Frankenstein. This was all the result of the cast being released to do other projects during this long gap, before it all came together again.
Still, I’m going to count this filming wrap as good news, given that post-production time should take far less time than other shows, as we’re not talking about some massive blockbuster with months and months of VFX work ahead. Granted, I wish this had aired 2-3 years ago, but honestly, I’m glad we had (most of those) projects from these actors rather than some being shelved to film season 3 of Euphoria. This will be the last season of the show, so no, we do not have to do all this again in 2030.
