Euphoria became one of HBO's breakout series after its premiere in 2019. The teenage fiction, starring Zendaya, attracted a large number of followers, who however have had to experience some disappointment due to the delays in its broadcast. . Only last November, Casey Bloys, head of HBO and Max, announced that the third season of the series would arrive in 2025, with one of the reasons being Zendaya's busy schedule.

Nika King, one of its protagonists - she plays Leslie Bennet, mother of Rue, the character played by Zendaya - has acknowledged that the delays in filming are beginning to take a toll on her economic and personal situation, having been unable to pay for six months now. the rent.

"Please stop asking me about season 3," the actress titles the video of one of her last monologues on her social networks. "Season 3 is about to premiere... I don't know. Don't ask me.

The second season premiered in 2022 and was very well received, and its creators already warned that they would take a long break until the premiere of the next one due to the commitments of its creator, Sam Levinson, with other series on the network (The Idol ).
