Word spilled out earlier this week that HBO’s already delayed third season of Euphoria was indefinitely paused with its cast freed up to pursue other projects. The big three, of course, are Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Jacob Elordi, who are all juggling a variety of roles elsewhere, and Variety has now published an extensive dive into the “fight” to save this show from withering on the vine without a definite return date. It’s an engrossing read with plenty of possibilities thrown into the air, like an alleged idea to continue the show without Sam Levinson despite the recent insistence that “HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season.”
