Zendaya Breaks Silence on Euphoria's Season 3 Delay

Last month, it was confirmed that Season 3 of Euphoria had been delayed at HBO with the delay allowing the show's ensemble cast to pursue other projects through the end of 2024. At this point, what's next for Euphoria remains a mystery as there's no set timeframe for when the series will resume production or what that will entail — there have been reports that Season 3 could feature a time jump — and now, series star Zendaya is breaking her silence about the HBO series' delay. Speaking with Variety, Zendaya said that she doesn't know anything about Euphoria's third season and that what's next is beyond her.

"If it's right for the characters and everything turns out the way it should, of course," Zendaya said about Euphoria returning for a third season, eventually. "But it's beyond me."

Euphoria Season 3 May See a Significant Time Jump

One of the reports about the third season of Euphoria has indicated that a part of the reason for the delay is that producers haven't sorted out what the third season will look like, though one option is a five-year time jump. The time jump would create some major shifts for the series and see the characters move from high school. Hunger Schafer, who plays ules on the series, recently commented about what she would hope for her character if there were to be a time jump.

"The past two seasons have been pretty rough on Jules," Schafer said. "So, I just hope she's gotten to chill out and be a regular teenage girl.
