When Is Filming Set to Start?

During an interview with Variety, Eric Dane confirmed that there were plans to start shooting season 3 in November 2022, adding, “It’s always going to be changing.”

Production was ultimately delayed due to the 2023 WGA strike, Levinson’s other project The Idol and Zendaya’s busy schedule. “Euphoria is one of those [shows] that we had begun writing in tandem with post-production on Idol, but at this point, we don’t have countless scripts,” HBO executive Francesca Orsi said to TV Line in May 2023. “We can’t start shooting, so the delivery of that show — ideally in 2025 — will be determined on when we can pick back up with Sam, who at this point is [not writing] and just finishing post on Idol.”

Zendaya confirmed in November 2024 that filming is set to begin in early 2025. “[Euphoria] is slated for January, I believe,” she told Vanity Fair. “I haven’t read anything yet, but I’m excited to see what everyone has been working on, and what the future looks like for Euphoria. I don’t really have much of an answer except for right now it’s set to start shooting in January.”
