Euphoria originally premiered in June 2019, followed by two special episodes in December 2020, and Season 2 came out in January 2022.
Zendaya's teen drama Euphoria is set to be back with season 3. But fans aren't too thrilled about the upcoming season of the hit HBO drama. Why? There is an update stating that Euphoria season 3 would have eight episodes, just like its previous seasons. While season 2 was released within just two years after season 1 premiered, Euphoria fans have been waiting for nearly four years for new episodes.
And when reports suggested that season 3 would have only eight episodes, fans were highly upset. Taking to social media, they vented out their frustration on getting just eight episodes after such a long wait, which is not yet over. On an Instagram post, one fan said, 'This season could've been an email, tbh." Another commented, '4 years???….the plot better be good…like really freaking good…"
A different fan of the show joked, 'Me graduating high school and getting my bachelor's degree in the meantime." Another upset fan wrote, 'It's sad to say, but I'm honestly over it LMAOO. Like they should have just made a little follow-up special to tie it up and called it a day at this point." Someone else penned, 'These episodes better be 3 hours each if it took 4 years to make."

Euphoria originally premiered in June 2019, followed by two special episodes in December 2020. Season 2 came out in January 2022, which was still manageable by the fans. Now, it looks like fans have to wait until 2026, which is more than four years, for season 3, as there still has been no confirmation on the release date.
There are definite reasons for the delay in season 3 of Euphoria, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the rising fame of the star cast, and the sudden demise of actor Angus Cloud. Moreover, Euphoria's showrunner Sam Levinson was busy with another HBO project, The Idol, featuring The Weeknd, Lily Rose-Depp and BLACKPINK's Jennie. Still, fans aren't convinced with such excuses.
Back in November of last year, HBO's CEO Casey Bloys reassured fans that Euphoria's next chapter was on track and confirmed the start date. The shoot for season 3 reportedly began in January this year. The upcoming season will feature the usual faces, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Storm Reid, Alexa Demie and Eric Dane.
