The real tea is I have no f–king idea what’s going on, and you can ask literally all of the cast.
I think everyone feels a certain sense of anticipation for if we are supposed to do season 3. Obviously I’m still coming to qualms about what’s happened and losing people that we really loved and were a part of this family and everything. If we do go back, that’s going to be tough.

Euphoria season 3 has been in development hell for years and there’s been some speculation that a feud between Zendaya and Sam Levinson is the cause.
That is not the only issue with season 3, however, as the hit drama has been clouded by the negative reception toThe Idol.

There have been questions, from general fans and industry analysts alike, about whether Levinson’s stylish show will still maintain its impressive audience if and when it comes back.
Already marketed as a salacious show, Euphoria’s various scandals might keep it alive.
However, given the rising status ofEuphoria’s stars, like Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, and Zendaya, there will likely be a lot of initial intrigue around the Emmy-nominated drama’s return.
