Euphoria season 3 delayed because of the WGA strike
Euphoria’s season 3 has been delayed because of the WGA strike. Euphoria is not the only show that is affected by the ongoing strike. Highly anticipated season 5 of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” is also delayed due to the strike and the Duffer brothers also revealed that they will respect the strike. HBO also revealed that the network will be respecting the demands of WGA AND SAG-AFTRA writers and actors and that is why the production of a lot of TV shows has been delayed.
According to NBC News, 11,000 actors and writers are on strike. This will be the first Hollywood strike in 60 years. However, fans are not happy because it will be too late for Euphoria’s season 3. Also, according to some sources, there is going to be a time jump in season 3. It will be hard for the writers to explain the time gap. Euphoria 3 is delayed till 2026.
Also, Sam Levinson was also busy working on The Idol. But, The Idol is canceled and will not return for another season. So, there is a possibility that Euphoria season 3 might release before 2025 if the strike ends.
