Following &#8216;The Idol&#8217; Backlash, &#8216;Euphoria&#8217; Creator Makes Major Promise for Zendaya&#8217;s Season 3 as Rue

Mainly known for his HBO drama series, Sam Levinson has still faced his fair
share of criticism and controversy, with the most recent being his now-canceled
series with The Weekend, The Idol. But he seems to have bounced back with
upcoming plans for the hit series, Euphoria, starring Sydney Sweeney

Zendaya, and others. While there has been a lull over the third season, the
director decided that it was time to hype up the fans.

Sam Levinson gave fans little less than a sliver to go on. But he did give fans
of the series a little sneak peek into his ideas for the upcoming season, while
also making a promise about the character of Zendaya.


THE DIRECTOR’S MAJOR EUPHORIA PROMISE

After the stomach-churning end of the second season of Euphoria, which was
rumored to be skipping five years into the future
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-is-sydney-sweeney-and-zendayas-euphoria-skipping-5-years-into-future-with-season-3/],
it is not surprising that fans have been waiting on edge for any kind of update
about the third season. And it seems that the wait is finally over. According to
a post from a fan page, Sam Levinson recently revealed his plans for the third
season of Euphoria. The director, in an interview with Elle
[https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/a44763838/zendaya-interview-september-2023/],
announced that the season would be a “film noir.”

But that was not all. The director also told fans what they can expect from one
of the main characters who is portrayed by Zendaya. Levinson teased fans by also
sharing plans to “explore what it means to be an individual with principles in a
corrupt world.”

While Sam Levinson has not given fans much to go on, there are still a few who
are looking forward to the third season. However, some former fans of the show
do not seem interested in the franchise at all.


HOW EUPHORIA MAY HAVE BECOME THE MOST HATED SHOW ON TV

Anyone on social media in 2022, back when the final episode of the second season
dropped, knows how much the whole thing blew up. From heartbreak to the death of
a beloved character and a whole lot of drama in between, everything seemed to
escalate extremely fast. The only good thing that fans got from the end of the
season was Zendaya’s character, Rue, getting sober.

Right from the beginning days of the show, the criticisms came flooding in, but
season two may have gotten the worst brunt of it all. With claims that the show
glamorizes substance abuse, the director may have taken it too far when he
depicted a teenager, portrayed by Zendaya, “shooting up” outside a motel in LA.

With each season having more violence, abuse, and death, there are still some
out there who are hoping that the third season of Euphoria will be a little
toned down. It is expected to come out in 2025, with no confirmed date as of
yet.
