Without giving out any specific reason, Storm Reid announced that she would not be returning for Season 3 of the hit show, Euphoria. However, the season is all set to begin production in January 2025. It is worth noting that previously, the production was to begin in December 2023, however, it was then postponed, majorly due to the Hollywood labor disputes.
The first season of the Sam Levinson show was released in June 2019, and the second came in January 2022. On the other hand, The Wrap mentioned that previously, there was speculation that Euphoria was being canceled, however, the rumors were later dispelled by Casey Bloys, the CEO of HBO, who said:
“Nothing has changed. Somebody said something online, and then this whole thing started. We are shooting the season. I have read the scripts. We’re happy.”
Furthermore, it is not just Storm Reid who announced their exit from the show. In August, this year, Barbie Ferreira, who played Kat in the show, also announced her departure. However, other cast members like Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Maude Apatow and others are expected to return with the new season.
