Fans have been waiting for Season 3 of Euphoria for so long that many gave up caring. That was until first looks at the new season began to trend on social media. Now, it appears the show’s creator Sam Levinson isn’t letting his failed series, The Idol, deter the hype.

In February of 2022, it was reported that production for Season 3 of Euphoria would begin in 2023, which meant the new season was slated to premiere in 2024. Its now 2025 and fans are just now receiving a first look.

Despite claiming they wouldn’t care if the series returned (as characters began aging out of the storyline), Levinson has pulled his go-to trick to get people to care: strip clubs and Rue’s not-so-great decision-making.

In 2022, HBO Drama Chief Francesca Ors told Variety shared: Euphoria is one of those that we had begun writing in tandem with post-production on Idol but at this point, we don’t have countless scripts. We can’t start shooting, so the delivery of that show — ideally in 2025 — will be determined on when we can pick back up with Sam [Levinson], who at this point is all pencils down and just finishing posts on Idol.”

Of the show’s renewal, Francesca Orsi, Executive VP of HBO Programming, said in a statement: “Sam [Levinson], Zendaya, and the entire cast and crew of Euphoria have taken Season 2 to extraordinary heights, challenging narrative convention and form, while maintaining its heart. We couldn’t be more honored to work with this gifted, wildly talented team or more excited to continue our journey with them into Season 3.”

Stay tuned for more updates.
