HBO Confirms 1 of Its Biggest Shows Ends After Season 3
-------------------------------------------------------
HBO is officially ending one of its biggest series with its third
season. It premiered in April and ran for eight episodes. Unlike
the previous installments, it drew a largely mixed-to-negative
critical and audience reception.
Euphoria's Season 4 gets disappointing confirmation
Euphoria Season 4 isn't happening, as it is ending with Season 3.
The news comes shortly after the release of the finale, "In God
We Trust."
Sam Levinson, the showrunner, confirmed the drama's conclusion on
The New York Times' Popcast. In it, the interviewer reminded him
that when they interacted a few months back, he left the door open
for more installments. Clarifying that he didn't know Rue's tragic
fate at the time, he asked if there was still a possibility of
future seasons.
Levinson replied that with the story they aimed to tell, about
drug addiction and its consequences, Season 3 "felt like the end
to [him]." He continued, "It was such a fulfilling journey in
terms of this cast, the crew, what we were able to accomplish.
There are thousands of things that have to go right in order to
make something like this."
Expressing great pride in the cast and crew's work on the story, he
noted, "It's a tragic one in the end, but it's also the truth."
Highlighting the dangers of drug abuse, Levinson said Season 3 was
"a way of honoring Angus [Cloud]." He also called it "a prayer for
the future." Notably, Cloud died in 2023 of a multiple drug
overdose.
After the interviewer again asked if the third installment was the
conclusion, the showrunner replied, "Yeah. I mean, what else is
there to say?"
This isn't entirely surprising. Zendaya shared on The Drew Barrymore
Show last month that she believed it was the last, teasing, "Closure
is coming."
Since its launch, Euphoria Season 3 has faced backlash for its
controversial plotlines and characterization. This is reflected in
the poor Rotten Tomatoes scores - a 40% rotten and a 39% audience
score.
All eight episodes are currently streaming on HBO Max.
