Hunter Schafer Has 'No F*cking Idea' What's Going on With Euphoria Season 3

As a die-hard fan of Euphoria, I must admit that my anticipation for Season 3 has been a rollercoaster ride. From the initial confirmation to the unexpected delays and behind-the-scenes drama, it’s been quite the journey. The recent revelations about the alleged toxic workplace and creative differences between Zendaya and Sam Levinson have certainly added fuel to the fire.


The popular HBO show, titled “Euphoria“, generated a lot of buzz when it first aired, captivating both Millennials and Generation Z. Ever since Season 2 ended more than two years ago, fans have been eagerly waiting for the release of Season 3. However, speculations about behind-the-scenes drama and potential delays in airing Season 3 were rife. Originally slated to start production in December 2023, the production was pushed back due to complications. Finally, on June 13, 2024, it was officially announced that the production of this teen drama series would resume.

Despite my eagerness for the upcoming season, I must admit that the plot remains shrouded in mystery. In a recent chat with the Call Her Daddy podcast, our beloved cast member Hunter Schafer confessed her initial bewilderment about the announcement, expressing her puzzlement by saying, “I have no clue what the next season is all about.” It seems the rest of the cast shares this sense of intrigue as well. As Hunter put it so candidly, “I’ve got no idea.”

“The real tea is I have no f*cking idea what’s going on. You can ask literally all of the cast.”

The production of “Euphoria” Season 3 has been temporarily halted due to recent labor disputes and creative disagreements between lead actress Zendaya and showrunner Sam Levinson, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Subsequent reports have shed light on allegations of a hostile work environment during the production of “The Idol,” which was accused of incorporating degrading storylines against women.

Tensions escalated between Zendaya and Sam Levinson when Zendaya felt that Levinson was devoting excessive attention to The Idol, at the expense of Euphoria. Simultaneously, Levinson asserted that Zendaya was prioritizing her film career over the television series, with rumors circulating that she dismissed some of Levinson’s initial script concepts for Season 3.

Regrettably, additional difficulties emerged after the unfortunate demise of lead actor Angus Cloud. His premature departure has deeply impacted his co-stars, among them Schafer, who expressed:

“Clearly, I’m still grappling with the events that have transpired and the loss of dear ones who were an integral part of our family. Regrettably, we’ve experienced losses…I might become quite emotional.”

Sadly, not just Angus Cloud’s departure from the show’s main cast was a loss; producer Kevin Turne also passed away unexpectedly last year due to various heart issues. He had been collaborating with Levinson on the project.

Following the conclusion of “Euphoria,” Schafer has shared her intentions to depart from the television industry. In an interview with IndieWire, she expressed her newfound affection for filmmaking, stating, “I’ve fallen in love with the film format since transitioning into films.” Having found success on the show, Schafer has since taken up various significant film projects, including this year’s “Kinds of Kindness” and “Cuckoo.”

As a passionate fan of the critically acclaimed series “Euphoria,” I eagerly await the upcoming third season with bated breath. Having experienced my own struggles with addiction and mental health issues in my youth, I find solace and resonance in the raw and authentic portrayal of these themes in the show. The fact that it was inspired by creator Sam Levinson’s personal experiences only adds to its authenticity and emotional impact for me.
