HBO has just announced some heartbreaking news for fans of the hit show Euphoria. The Zendaya-led series will not be airing season three until the year 2025 due to the ongoing writer’s strike. This news has left many fans furious and upset.
According to Deadline, HBO’s head of drama, Francesca Orsi, gave updates on many of the network’s shows. “We are really proud of the exciting return of The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, White Lotus, Euphoria and not to mention The Sympathizer, The Regime, True Detective, and The Idol,” she said. Unfortunately, due to the writer’s strike, many of these shows, including Euphoria, will be pushed back to 2025.
Euphoria had already seen a two-and-a-half-year pandemic-related gap between season one and season two. Now, fans will have to wait even longer for season three. The show’s creator, Sam Levinson, has committed to The Idol, and Zendaya has a packed schedule, leaving the writers’ strike as the primary reason for the delay. Francessca stated, “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.” Unfortunately, they cannot start shooting until the strike is resolved.
The news has left many fans outraged, taking to social media to express their disappointment. Fans pleaded, “Please be a joke,” and one user even wrote, “We lost.” The ongoing Writers Guild of America strike is a critical issue for the entertainment industry, and it could change the way television productions are run.
The strike officially began on May 2, 2023, after the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers could not reach an agreement on a new three-year film TV contract to replace one that expired on May 1. As of May 26, the strike is still going on and has no clear end date.
In conclusion, the beloved show Euphoria will not be returning until 2025 due to the ongoing writer’s strike. This news has left fans outraged, many taking to social media to express their disappointment. The Writers Guild of America strike is still ongoing, and it poses a significant issue for the entertainment industry. Fans of many popular shows, including Euphoria, will have to wait until the strike is resolved to see their favorite characters on screen again.
