Zendaya weighs in on ‘Euphoria’ delay: “It’s beyond me”

Zendaya has addressed the delay to season three of Euphoriaclaiming she also has no idea when, or if, it will start production.

Just over two years have passed since the hit HBO series’ second season concluded with a cliffhanger finale.

The third season suffered delays to filming and production as a result of last year’s acting and writing strikes, as well as creator Sam Levinson’s delay in completing the script.

In a recent statement, HBO announced that the upcoming season is still on hold, and that its in-demand cast are free to explore other acting opportunities in the interim. The network added that it and Levinson “remain committed to making an exceptional third season.”

Now, Zendaya has commented on the situation. Although she serves as an executive producer on the show, she has said she’s “not in charge” of it.

“If it’s right for the characters and everything turns out the way it should, of course,” she told Variety. “But it’s beyond me.”

Meanwhile, speaking exclusively to NME, Sydney Sweeney has now admitted that she doesn’t know when production will continue, despite previously hinting that she’s already read the season’s scripts.

“Um, I don’t know how soon I’m going home [to Euphoria],” she said. “I’m just doing all the press for Immaculate right now and then we’ll see.”

Furthermore, in a recent interview with GQ, fellow Euphoria star Colman Domingo opened up about the possible reasons behind the third season’s delay.

[Sam is] a person who writes and rewrites and writes and rewrites again, because I think he’s wrestling with what’s important.

“He’s responding immediately to what the ills of the world are. I know that the one thing I can tell you is that he’s very much interested in the existential question of who we are right now. Our souls. That’s what he wants to figure out with season three.”

Elsewhere, Nika King, who plays Rue’s mother in the show, recently shared in a stand-up show that Euphoria’s delay is causing her financial problems.
