HBO’s popular television series “Euphoria” is set to resume filming in January 2025. The show’s entire main cast, including its stars Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney, are returning. HBO’s head of drama, Francesca Orsi, said in a statement that she is “thrilled” to begin production early next year. The delay of season three was widely reported, with the critically-acclaimed second season concluding in early 2022.
The show’s creator, Sam Levinson, was working on “The Idol,” causing further delays to production. Levinson’s work and Zendaya’s schedule, combined with a writers’ strike, would likely push back the premiere date to 2025, according to Orsi. The show also faced more delays following the passing of “Euphoria” actor Angus Cloud in August 2023.
The delays have reportedly caused financial difficulties for some of the cast members, including Nika King who shared during a stand-up comedy set that she was unable to pay rent due to the delays. Meanwhile, other HBO highly-anticipated shows like “The Last of Us” and “The White Lotus” are also expected to premiere their new seasons in 2025.
