“Let the show go”- Despite ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 Cancelled Rumors Denial, HBO Faces Stark Outrage Over the Drama

Published 11/08/2024, 11:12 PM CST

Once a cultural mega-hit that sparked a divisive mess with its bold portrayal of suburban teen life- unfortunately, Euphoria has been seemingly shedding its fan following. Back in 2019, Euphoria had become the teen show everyone loved to talk (and argue) about. But over time, it seems the collective excitement for the show has slowly worn off. The main reason is likely the long delays after season 2. And now, even though there are positive updates trickling in, they have not done much to bring the hype back among fans. 

Rumors about Euphoria being canceled and the cast and crew walking away have been circulating for a while. However, a representative for HBO recently confirmed to The Independent that “Nothing has changed.” The representative reassured that “Euphoria is going into production in 2025.” Many of the cast members in Euphoria have gone on to become Hollywood darlings- including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi. While Zendaya was always popular in the ensemble, the HBO show helped her reach a new level of stardom.

Meanwhile, Sweeney has been keeping busy with a wide range of roles, including an upcoming Oscar-worthy performance as female boxer Christy Martin. And Elordi, on the other hand, has been starring in one blockbuster after another over the past two years. This left fans wondering whether the actors would be willing to return to Euphoria. However, HBO's top executive, Casey Bloys, confirmed earlier this year that “the same core cast” will be back for season three. Even so, fans are not exactly thrilled about the show’s continuation.

Fans took to X to call for the makers to wrap up Euphoria once and for all, rather than dragging it out any longer. 

Fans do not seem as drawn to Euphoria season 3 as they once were

The waning excitement around Euphoria is a prime example of the frustration TV fans face today. Fans often end up waiting years for just 8 to 10 episodes- unless, of course, it is reality TV or some network filler. And it is tough to stay hooked when the content trickles out so slowly, and all anyone can do is hope the show is strong enough to pull them back in when it finally drops. Clearly, Euphoria does not have that pull among fans anymore, and all they want from the creators now is to “let the show go.

Among the large crowd of fans who have lost interest in the show, there are still a few who look forward to what happens next.

The delays with Euphoria have largely been due to the strikes, the packed schedules of its cast, and the major changes in the storyline planned for season 3. But, given the mood among fans, it is hard to say if season 3 will leave the same impact as its predecessors.
