It Sounds Like Euphoria Season 3 Really Will Be The Show's Final Outing

Rumours that Euphoria will be coming to an end following its third season appear to have been confirmed by the show’s lead, Zendaya.

Earlier this week, the two-time Emmy winner made an appearance on Drew Barrymore’s talk show, where the host began by asking if the upcoming run of episodes would be the last for Euphoria.

“I think so, yeah,” Zendaya responded.

When Drew then asked if fans should go into the new season “enjoying” it as if it will be the last, Zendaya repeated: “I think so. Yeah. Closure is coming!”

Later in the interview, the star of The Drama praised the hard-hitting show, saying: “Euphoria cracked my heart open. Rue taught me so much about life. That crew, also, has seen me grow up, I owe so much to that show.

“Rue taught me so much about empathy and about redemption and… she taught me a lot, and I’m very grateful for all of it.”

Meanwhile, the show’s creator Sam Levinson told Variety at the new season’s premiere that he writes every iteration of Euphoria “like it’s the last”, and has “no plans” to continue it in the future right now.

“I want to finish this as strong as I can,” he noted. “I’m cutting [episodes] seven and eight still. I’m putting some finishing touches. I just want to deliver a fucking slam dunk season.”

The head of drama at US broadcaster HBO, Francesca Orsi, previously hinted to Deadline that Euphoria would end with its third season.

“We’ve talked about it,” she explained. “I don’t think anything is over until it’s over, but it’s been discussed that this is the end.

“I think you will be very satisfied with this season, and how we bring each of the characters’ whole narrative.”

Euphoria launched in 2019, quickly making international household names of cast members like Zendaya, as well as Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer and Colman Domingo.

The wait for its third season has been over four years, with the story picking up with the characters long after they’ve graduated high school.
