After a loved and hated second season, more of the button-pushing teen drama has been on pause but production is soon to officially begin

You would be forgiven for thinking that Euphoria was all wrapped up with. After all, as things stand, it has the entire world stacked against it. No new episodes have been seen for two years and nine months at this point. Narratively, season two ended without any big cliffhangers to clear up, or even all that many interesting plot beats to continue.

And then there’s its cast. Since Euphoria went off the air, its troupe of young actors have all been rocketed into the stratosphere. Jacob Elordi has become Emerald Fennell’s go-to muse, appearing in both Saltburn and her upcoming Wuthering Heights adaptation. Maude Apatow has gone away and directed her first movie. Colman Domingo was nominated for an Oscar for Rustin, and may well be nominated for another for Sing Sing. Sydney Sweeney has become an old-school four-quadrants movie star thanks to her ability to appeal to young women and horny teenage boys in equal measure. And the last few years have seen Zendaya become even more Zendaya than ever, which is impressive because she was already pretty Zendaya to begin with.
