Thought Sam Levinson’s teen drama Euphoria was achieved for? Suppose once more, as HBO/Max boss Casey Bloys has confirmed it is nonetheless on observe regardless of latest cancellation rumors.
This replace comes from the newest HBO/Max press occasion, which occurred on November 12 (through Selection). This, nonetheless, does not even start to reply how the primary actors’ capturing schedules will make sense if the corporate is concentrating on an early 2025 begin.
“We’re capturing Euphoria… I believe we have now a begin date, mid to late January. Nothingβs modified. Someone stated one thing on-line, after which this entire factor began. We’re capturing the season. I’ve learn the scripts. Weβre pleased. Weβre transferring forward. All the actors are within the present,” Bloys stated.
After all, “all the actors” does not embrace Angus Cloud, who died at age 25 in July 2023, nor solid members like Barbie Ferreira, who’re transferring on. Nevertheless, it does appear that Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Storm Reid, Alexa Demie, and Eric Dane are all on board. You might need observed quite a few large names there when you aren’t aware of the present; that is why placing this manufacturing collectively has been (and will nonetheless be) so tough.
For instance, Zendaya can be capturing at the very least some scenes for Christopher Nolan’s subsequent film in 2025 earlier than leaping into Sony Footage and Marvel Studios’ fourth Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland. As for Elordi, he is acquired at the very least Emerald Fennel’s Wuthering Heights lined up. In the meantime, Sydney Sweeney continues to rise, with productions corresponding to Scandalous! and The Housemaid prepping to shoot subsequent 12 months too.
“I do know the present will get plenty of consideration now as a result of, you recognize, it has created some real film stars, they usually have numerous initiatives which are engaged on, however we’re capturing this season, so nothing has modified… Itβs eight episodes,” Bloys insisted.
Nothing is thought at this level concerning the plot, however a soar in time is to be anticipated even when HBO hasn’t moved ahead with Levinson’s proposed story arc for Rue (Zendaya) that will have her working as a non-public investigator. HBO briefly “pressed pause on the sequence” earlier this 12 months to transform the pitch and assemble scripts that had been extra “in line” with the 2 earlier seasons.
