The long-awaited third season of Euphoria is officially up and running.
HBO says production has begun on the drama series and shared a first photo from the season, with Zendaya’s Rue looking over her shoulder in a dimly lit room. HBO also shared the photo on its social channels, with the brief message “Euphoria season 3 is in production.”
The start of filming for the show comes three years after season two premiered on HBO and is more or less in line with the cable network’s pledge last summer that filming would begin in January.
The reasons for Euphoria’s unusually long hiatus are numerous and range from aligning schedules for the in-demand cast to creator and showrunner Sam Levinson’s working on HBO’s ill-fated The Idol in the interim. As The Hollywood Reporter detailed in a cover story last year, Zendaya and Levinson’s relationship also cooled during the long break.
Euphoria’s core cast, including Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and Colman Domingo, is set to return for the eight-episode third season, though Storm Reid is not. Zendaya said in a podcast interview in October that the season will feature a time jump that moves the show’s younger characters out of high school.
A premiere date for season three hasn’t yet been announced.
