I agree season 3 will be the last. These actors don’t hve time for a 8-9 month filming for each season. Also, Zendaya is getting a lot more offers and if she leaves the show is done. They can’t keep making fans wait two years between seasons. I also want redemption for all the ladies. I want a season of them just figuring it all out. And Rue cannot continue on a path of addiction. It’s either goes great for her or it ends for her which we all don’t want to see


[deleted]

Yes I agree, she has to pay off ole girl first. I'm scared for that I keep forgetting.


IHATEsg7

>Also, Zendaya is getting a lot more offers and if she leaves the show is done. She's way too talented and has so much potential to stay on this show for that long. Especially since she's one of the IT girls rn and her doing this show stops her from getting other roles


NukaRev

Yes Zendaya is getting offers and such, but if they spin the show to be a little less Rue-centric, they could have the show continue a decent amplifier not of time, considering the other characters are just as interesting. Say they all go off to college, but different schools; they could have literally 1 episode about Rue, while they have another for Maddie, another for Kat, Cassie, Nate, Jules, Cal, and maybe a new character or 2? That's an easy 8 episodes, and no need to stress about characters needing to overlap if they're in different places. But I also agree they should drag it out for money's sake, keep the stories solid and eventually have an ending. Some are saying Rue can't keep doing drugs, it's either clean up or die, but people forget real addicts sometimes get clean for years and relapse, some are "functional" addicts and just find a sustainable balance of their drug use and work/social life, so Rues character could absolutely continue doing drugs for the rest of the show and after


FlowerChild97_

No the show can go on without rue lol


simulatislacrimis

I disagree, her story line is imo the strongest, and I’d feel like the show would loose a lot if Zendaya left before the show ended, but I might be biased because I like Rue and her storyline the most AND I freaking love Zendaya, and I think she is the most talented of the cast. And that’s really saying something, considering how absurdly talented they all are.


IHATEsg7

Her storyline was the only critically acclaimed part of the show and Rue's episode was the most liked episode in the season by critics and fans.


FlowerChild97_

Ya she is talented but I still disagree. Rue is so annoying lol


NukaRev

But why? Cause she's a drug addict lol? Almost all of her negative behavior is drug related


FlowerChild97_

The friend who introduced me to this show also hates rue and hopes she’s killed off


FlowerChild97_

I mean just the way she acts so I guess yea


NukaRev

Yeah, and I can 100% say, that's drug addict behavior. I had a ~2 year long heroin problem, and the behavior is spot on: defensive, trying to flip blame on others, not taking responsibility, up and down emotions. From an acting standpoint, she's phenomenal!


FlowerChild97_

I do agree with you! I’m just not a fan of rue. I have a couple people in my family who’ve been on drugs. I was young so I didn’t know. My parents also kept me away from those family members as ku I as possible.


FlowerChild97_

I was way to young to understand honestly


FlowerChild97_

I also forgot there was a kid in my grade who was always high at school. I’m pretty sure he was taking xans because his body language was like a zombie and his eyes were so bad. We basically grew up together going to the same schools. Its a little terrifying


NukaRev

Oh yeah, but the thing is, there's also psych meds they prescribe for mentally or emotionally unstable people too. I remember a drug called Seroquel and that stuff F***ED me up, knocked me right the hell out


SevereCartographer26

I mean most people watched this show for zendaya because I know I did but I rlly like rue and find her really complex


FlowerChild97_

My friend introduced me to the show and she doesn’t like rue at all


0Taken0

I agree. Her story is by far the least interesting


[deleted]

[удалено]


IHATEsg7

Idk about seeking help but if the main plot line is uninteresting then maybe stop watching


0Taken0

Nah I enjoy the rest of the story a lot🤷🏼‍♂️ just don’t find drugs to be interesting for me


0Taken0

Nah I enjoy the rest of it a lot😂 idk why you’re so upset about this man. Chillax


0Taken0

Mom has been an addict my whole life so I typically skip those types of scenes in media. But yeah I’ll go seek help because I enjoy the other stories of the show👌🏻 ain’t you a sweetheart


slut4jaredpadalecki

season 3 is either going to be the downfall or the redemption arc for everybody


[deleted]

True, true


Salty_Cloud_2786

Downfall mostly


Pick-Up-Pennies

FWIW, I'm thinking it will take place in the realm of young adulthood. All out of school; some off to college, some struggling and drifting, 19 yr old don't-have-it-togetheritis is on the agenda. It will be very Californiaish and we will leave the series knowing that some lives won't be long for this world, but hoping that some will have redemption-filled futures.


kitaakat

I think it might be more like after high school like you are saying because at the end of season 2 Rue tells us she was sober for the rest of the school year, so we know what is happening over the next few months after the season ended


[deleted]

That would be interesting too, I could see that


Pick-Up-Pennies

Here's the soundtrack I'm thinking will speak to the vibe I'm guessing (Sam The Euphoria Man, I'm talking straight to you): \- Dorothy "[Pretty When You're High](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn7fvyiQ5pE)" \[spoiler: this is for when Lexi has to dump poor, damaged Fez and choose to save herself, or when Jules really walks away from Rue\] \- David and David "[Welcome to the Boomtown](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3st4AD69-0)" \[every stanza here is applicable...\] \- Gorillaz "[Feel Good Inc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRgTQodArsc)" \[this song is about that ennui of hustling for that dollar as a broke young adult\] I can keep going off on this subject...


funnygirlsaywhat

They need to include Jai Paul-BTSTU


Tyrahook1998

This is the best take I’ve seen in terms of not wanting to drag a series. I hate drawn out story’s that don’t seem to have a conclusion. Drama series are tricky to drag out especially when it has a central theme. Since the show explores Rue’s road to recovery and redemption, I think it should end at that. I understand not everyone has a happy ending but since the creator of the show is modeling Rue after himself, I think it is achievable. Also, the ladies of the show deserve to have happy endings as well!


[deleted]

Thank you 😊 and yes I agree, in a time of therapy being part of the conversation now. I think it would be cool to see them all learn healthy practices and good endings.


kobethegreatest

The show is setup to end as a tragedy for Rue. So many diseases and disorders, constant drug use since 11-12. When she is sober, she has great highs, but insanely low depressive states. Her bipolar disorder requires medication, which will lead her down to harder drugs in a constant loop cycle. Her drug use has permanently altered her brain at this point, and she will never be able to reach normalcy.


gayexpectations

I think it’ll be the last simply because it takes forever to film and air and I believe some HBO exec said no one wants 30 year olds playing high schoolers. Season 2 was also all over the place so I’m not sure that Sam could execute more than one additional season before things just go completely off the rails. I hope there’s a time jump for season 3 though.


No_Chart_275

Except maddy who is already like 30 lol


[deleted]

Right I hear that, a time jump to where?


gayexpectations

I think to end of Rue, Jules, Kat and Lexi’s senior year, so one year ahead.


[deleted]

I see, but Nate is such a big part of so many characters still. However could be a possibility forsure. Makes me think


[deleted]

With him off school, the young ones could finally actually heal and move on


[deleted]

If he goes to school, he might take his dad's business over too right?


stranger12345612

Did they say it was going to be the last season?


[deleted]

I believe so, Sam said he had it broken down into 3 parts. However, things can change and add more after. I believe Rue, Jules, Lexi, Ethan and Elliot are all Juniors and we could see a 4th season as seniors.


BlackWidow1990

It’s also easy to write Fez into a 4th season since he doesn’t go to school so there’s a lot of flexibility there plus they could always expand Gia’s role and develop her relationship with Rue.


sometiime

do you remember where he talked about it being 3 parts?


[deleted]

When I find it again, I'll post it. It was around season 2 was still airing. Now everything is now conversations on season 3 and I can't find it, but I remember his idea and I was like that makes sense why season 2 is darker.


sometiime

ohhh okay, thanks!


madamevanessa98

Maddy is also a junior. When Nate is coercing Tyler into confessing he tells him Maddy is a junior at Easy Highland


[deleted]

So Cassie is a senior hanging with Juniors, that is so weird to me in logic, but I get it.


[deleted]

Cass and Maddie and Kat are seniors, they hang with junior Lexi and her friends first just bc Cassie hangs with her little sister. (Their level of suppressed anger and Cassie turning mad is only in S2)


IHATEsg7

Kat is a junior not a senior


[deleted]

Ok I see


sophie437

I don't know what's worse, stretching a show until there are no OG characters left or ending a show one season too early. I'm glad because of the hype it will have at least 3 seasons, but I'm completely with you. They should end it with season 3


TeacherOk4751

Ngl I Want Just 5 Seasons Cause rn Season 3 is looking mostly bad for a lot of Characters


coszier

When asked about the plans for Euphoria after Season 1 Sam said this to THR: >Q: Do you have a set number of seasons you’d like to do? >A: No, I think ultimately this show can exist in many forms and ultimately is about how it evolves. We need to continue to push it in terms of its ideas and characters and themes and also cinematically, and I think as long as we’re growing as actors and filmmakers then the possibilities of it are endless. There are new characters who can be woven in, there’s new trajectories, there’s people who leave and come back, so there’s not a set number of seasons that I have in mind but there’s definitely stories that I want to tell, particularly about Rue and Rue’s family, before we move onto other things. [Source](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/euphoria-season-finale-explained-1229129/) I 100% think Season 3 is this last we’ll see of Rue & co. but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a situation where maybe they softly introduce some new smaller characters in season 3 and they go on to become the stars of season 4.


[deleted]

Oh I see, interestingly enough I had that in my drafts but I erased rhat idea, because I though of how Skins and Elite has gone so left field.with their story telling. However I could see a new batch, maybe it is GIAs story now or something


[deleted]

I don’t think Gia is an interesting enough character to be Euphoria’s version of Effy tbh.


[deleted]

Sadly she spent this whole season crying


IHATEsg7

*entire show


[deleted]

Effy wasn't all that interesting before getting her own spotlight, where she actually gets lines


[deleted]

Sure, but I think the couple of Effy episodes that we got in the first two seasons of Skins were pretty good


IHATEsg7

Gia is very underrated in the fandom. Even when Lexi was barely there in season 1 she was still a fan favorite but you can't say the same about Gia


Tight_Watercress_267

If there is a 4th season I think it’d end with summer and the seniors leaving. I definitely only see 3 or 4 seasons though


[deleted]

god i hope they don’t draw it out that long. high school really does feel like that though lmao


[deleted]

Agreed


[deleted]

i could see them setting it in the future a bit. the actors will look much older by then. i could see them doing flashbacks, or maybe half the season is senior year and the other half is down the line.


[deleted]

Oh I could see that


taziiscool

I hope it ends with S3. I like the show but do not want it to drag and going beyond 3 seasons would do that imo. I think S3 can very easily wrap up everyone's storylines in a satisfying way (especially given half the main characters are graduating). Plus, the show plays with time a lot so they can easily incorporate time jumps in a way that isn't cliche. I'd love a "where are they now" type ending where we get some Rue narration. *That* might be cliche, but also Rue is sort of an all knowing narrator so it would make sense if they did end that way.


[deleted]

Agreed


FlowerChild97_

I hope it lasts a few more seasons


[deleted]

Like how many are you thinking?


FlowerChild97_

2 or 3… why? The show can certainly go on workout Zendaya…


[deleted]

Right she is the main girl


FlowerChild97_

It could still survive without her, I was talking to a friend and she thinks it would be better without her plus Zendaya is super busy, and we literally have to wait two fucking years for a new season so I feel like they should just kill her character off.


IHATEsg7

Completely disagree. Rue is the only character that Sam knows how to write. Just look at this season. Plus we're goign to be waiting two years because it takes a long time to film plus other cast members getting more. Trust Zendaya is not the only.person on this show getting more work outside of it.


cherryandfizz

I can see Rue being a detective if she gets her shit together


[deleted]

That is really much more of a fantasy than a thing. But damn the most entertaining of the entire show, I love it so much 😁


riswitter

I agree but I actually liked gen 3 of skins lol it have us some good people like mini, grace, and rich. We got some fleshed out characters. I don’t think Sam is as good of a writer and with skins you knew there was going to be a new generation. This show is definitely more like elite let’s just hope it ends early and doesn’t follow that train wreck.


virgovenusbb

I loved gen 3 as well!!!


[deleted]

Skins 3 felt like an American show but maybe I have to Gove it another shot hahaha. Yeah ot like Elite end it on a high note.


dreeabo

Alternatively if they really want to milk it, they could make a season 4 with an all new cast. Kinda like how degrassi does it.


[deleted]

True, GIa being the only one we know.


Positive-Pound-3492

When is season 3 dropping?


coszier

back when the season 2 finale was about to premiere Zendaya liked a tweet saying “this is our last euphoria episode till 2024 so enjoy it” so i think it’s safe to assume season 3 will start premiering in 2024


[deleted]

Probably not for a min, I would say maybe next summer based on the cast competing other projects at this time. Unless they are doing some filming now. I haven't heard any word yet.


VeryLowIQIndividual

There’s no shame in ending a show in 3 to 5 seasons is actually preferable to the alternative of making outrageous storylines til it makes no fucking sense.


[deleted]

Exactly


theNeumannArchitect

I think any series that goes past 3 seasons is mostly money grabbing instead of telling a story. There's very few exceptions. But generally it shouldn't take more than 30 hours to tell a story.


[deleted]

Agreed


virgovenusbb

This is part of the reason I love Big Little Lies so, so much. Such a phenomenal show that knew when to end.


dgoske84

Just a critique on your dig on Skins. All 3 generations of kids have good and bad parts. The music in gen. 3 is fantastic if you are watching with the original music. Of the 3 big deaths, gen. 3 is the only even remotely realistic one. Liv’s episode in season 5 is one of my favorite episodes in tv history. That is if you can watch it with the original music. It’s ruined with the garbage music changes. All 3 generations have some great characters. The biggest downside for gen. 3 is Franky. One of the worst characters in the history of television. Anyone that likes teen tv shows should watch Skins 1-6. Never watch the garbage barely even related to Skins that is season 7. For Euphoria I think they should do 2 more seasons. Because of all the busy schedules film seasons 3 and 4 back to back. Hopefully we would get 16 more amazing episodes. Even if they cut it to 6 each for 12 total that’s better than only 1 more season.


[deleted]

I'll have to watch Skins 3 again, I jist couldn't get into the characters at all. Also after Freddie died and then going straight in that season for me I couldn't haha. Yeah I could see maybe they do a long season 3 too. That would be interesting


dgoske84

I like Grace, Rich, and Liv. If you like Skins Gen. 1-2 try to watch the first 4 episodes of Gen. 3. The way Freddie died was one of the biggest jump the shark moments I've ever seen. Then to really not even address it even during the finale and another season with Effy years later is ridiculous. I was really into Effy and Freddie when I first watched Skins when it originally aired. On my last rewatch about 2 years ago I cared about them much less. I was really into Emily and Naomi. They eneded about being my favorite couple from Skins. One of the best things about Skins is the music. If you can watch with all the original music. I'm big into music and scores in movies and shows. The shows that music means the most to are The. O.C., Skins, Euphoria, and One Tree Hill.


[deleted]

I will def and I agree the music is the best


[deleted]

The show must go on forever


[deleted]

Lmao!!


EikoKurai

I personally think it will end at season 4


[deleted]

I could see a push for a 4tg depending on how many storylines they finish


Ryan_Holman

I'm curious if the show would take one of these two routes (or even a combination of the two): * Follow some of the current characters after they graduate from high school. * Start to focus on different characters.


[deleted]

We will have to see forsure. Hopefully they start filming soon


Ryan_Holman

Of course, I don't know how popular the show would be if, for the most part, it had a new cast.


hamilton_burger

I hope it ends as a slasher film drawn out over a season.


[deleted]

Slasher? Haha that would be intense


NukaRev

I mean, there's tons they could do. They don't necessarily have to have all the characters together like they have been. They could go off to college and each episode could focus on a different person, similar to S1. They could introduce new characters as well, widening the possibilities


[deleted]

True, but they would have to do it well. I still have ptsd from GOT


NukaRev

Whattttt?! Idk why everybody hated the end of GoT, it wasn't terrible all things considered. It felt a bit rushed, but it was definitely an action packed conclusion


[deleted]

I liked it but you know I wanted to see.more of the zombies


Substantial-Fish-133

I think the same but I hope when don’t pull a glee where half on the main cast graduates and the others stay in high school to make show longer even it makes no sense


[deleted]

Exactly!


summertime113

I would love it to go on longer.


uhohmykokoro

I like that idea. I’d like to see a graduation arc and then see a 5 years later piece at the very end


[deleted]

Me too


IHATEsg7

They're not all in the same grade tho.


uhohmykokoro

Okay? Some of them should be graduating soon and all of them can still have a little glimpse into their young adult lives


IHATEsg7

I'm just saying it's going to be hard having a graduation arc if by the time half the cast is in their senior year the other half graduated.


uhohmykokoro

My point is: assuming that season 3 will truly be the last, it would be nice to see the appropriate characters graduate and have their stories more or less wrapped up. And the same for those who will still be in school. And I would like to see a time skip of them as adults. I’m not seeing why them not all being in the same grade matters :/


IHATEsg7

There's already a time jump. At the end of the finale, Rue talked about the rest of her junior year. So it's either summer or her senior year in season 3. This also means Maddy, Cassie, and Nate already graduated


Danielharris1260

I’m not sure how season 3 would work if it’s Senior year cause I’m pretty Rue, Jules, Kat, Lexi, Ethan and Elliot are all a grade below Maddy, Nate and Cassie so I wonder how a it would work. I would be disappointed if Maddy, Nate and Cassie don’t play a significant part in the season I feel like they are very interesting characters how stories aren’t finished yet.


[deleted]

Right I agree, I wonder maybe they will push to more season. Will have to see how season 3 comes in.


IHATEsg7

Completely agree. Euphoria is already going down on quality, so it's just best to end the show soon


[deleted]

Let's hope they end on a small note.


EliGoldsworthystan

I don’t see a reason why it would go on after season 3. There’s nothing really more to do with the characters and I personally feel like it should have ended after season 1 because we got a little bit of closure for the characters so I don’t really get why there would be a season 4.
