Hunter Schafer has shared an update on Euphoria season three.
In February 2022, HBO renewed the critically acclaimed drama for a third season.
“Sam, 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,” said Francesca Orsi, EVP of HBO Programming.
“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.”
While Euphoria received an official renewal and, most recently, a production start date, fans have been kept in the dark about the new storylines and its release date.
Even the show’s stars – like Schafer – are reportedly out of the loop regarding the future of the series.
When asked about the status of season three on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes star said: “The real tea is I have no f**king idea what’s going on, and you can ask literally all of the cast. The real tea is that a lot has happened.”
Schafer went on to seemingly address the tragic death of Angus Cloud (Fez) and producer Kevin Turen, who both passed away in 2023.
“We’ve, and it’s hard to talk about, but we’ve had deaths,” she continued while holding back tears.

“I think everyone feels a certain sense of anticipation if we are supposed to do season 3. Obviously, I’m still coming to qualms with what happened and losing people that we really loved and were a part of this family and everything.
“I think if we do go back, it’s going to be tough. I think there’s a world in which we can channel that into making a beautiful season three if it’s supposed to happen, but I think that shit really threw everyone for a loop.”
While Schafer acknowledged that there may be other factors in Euphoria‘s delay, she reiterated that the emotional response to the aforementioned deaths has played a significant role.
Weeks before Schafer’s heart-wrenching interview, Orsi announced that the series would be starting production in January 2025.
“We could not be happier with our creative partnership with Sam and this incredible cast. We look forward to bringing this new season of Euphoria to life for fans,” she said in a statement.
