revealed a surprising update on the status of Season 3.
Euphoria Season 3 is gearing up to start filming in January 2025. Zendaya, who stars as Rue, confirmed the date in an interview with Vanity Fair. However, the two-time Emmy winner has yet to see a script for the upcoming season.
“I haven’t read anything yet, but I’m excited to see what everyone has been working on and what the future looks like for Euphoria,” Zendaya told Vanity Fair. “I don’t really have much of an answer except for right now it’s set to start shooting in January.”
If Euphoria Season 3 begins production in January, it will mark three years since the Season 2 premiere. Euphoria Season 3 has experienced several setbacks, including unexpected deaths within the creative team, the Hollywood strikes, and turmoil between creator Sam Levinson and HBO.
Reports that the third season was dead began to surface due to the busy schedules of stars Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, and Sydney Sweeney. In response, HBO and Max boss Casey Bloys recently denied those reports and confirmed Euphoria will begin filming in early 2025.
“I think we have a start date, mid to late January. Nothing’s changed,” Bloys said. “Somebody said something online, and then this whole thing started. We are shooting the season. I have read the scripts. We’re happy. We’re moving ahead. All of the actors. Is the show.”
Zendaya’s schedule includes Christopher Nolan’s new movie, which will be shot in early 2025. Still, Zendaya remains committed to Euphoria and doing right by her character for the fans.
“My most important thing is to do justice by the people who love and care about Rue and make sure that she’s looked after as a character,” Zendaya added. “I think that’s my number one duty.”
