HBO revealed the news on its social accounts. The series starring Zendaya had doubled the amount public between the first and the second
HBO released on social networks the news that Euphoria fans were waiting for: the series will have a third season. The production, starring Zendaya, launched its second part a few weeks ago and quickly became a success in terms of views and comments. It is not surprising that it has been renewed for one more season.
The confirmation was made in a fairly simple way, and with a tiny video, HBO revolutionized Twitter.
According to a report by Variety, the production of Sam Levinson doubled the number of views in the second season - which is barely half - compared to the initial one. In total, it had 13.1 million viewers at its launch, and it remained at similar figures during the following chapters. The growth is remarkable when compared to the first installment, which reached a maximum of 6.6 million with its debut in 2019. That justifies the hiring of the third, with an expectation of growth.
Each episode of Euphoria has been a trend on the networks. She also made a cultural splash with three awards at the 2020 Primetime Emmys, including one for Zendaya for Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
This story of a group of high school students moving into adulthood while exploring topics such as drugs, sex, gender, identity, love, friendship, trauma, prostitution, and social media is based on the Israeli drama of the same name, created by Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin.
In the first season the central character, Rue Bennett (Zendaya), returned to her house after detox therapy. She wanted to re-offend more than to take care of herself, but she met a new girl, Jules (Hunter Schafer), and she fell in love with her: it changed her perspective and gave her motivation to try to stay sober.
Between other underlying issues, such as mental health affected by bipolar disorder and the trauma of loss, the horizon brightens. But then her paths separate, as Jules wants to escape to Los Angeles.
In the second season, Rue has suffered a relapse. Returning to school, Rue faces new obstacles in staying sober; conflicts between Nate (Jacob Elordi), Maddy (Alexa Demie), and Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) are also on the rise. These chapters, currently in development, will come to an end on February 27. Then the wait will begin for season 3 that she has just hired.
The Euphoria cast is completed by Maude Apatow, Nika King, Eric Dane, Angus Cloud, Algee Smith, Barbie Ferreira, Javon Walton, Dominic Fike, Storm Reid, and Austin Abrams. Levinson is an executive producer along with Zendaya, Drake, Leshem, Levin, Kevin Turen, Ravi Nandan, Adel Future Nur, Will Greenfield, Ashley Levinson, and Hadas Mozes Lichtenstein.
