The third season of Euphoria isn't canceled, it's just taking its time. This was confirmed by HBO, denying a rumor that circulated on social networks last Monday, gaining so much strength that it became a trend. The good news is that the acclaimed drama series starring Zendaya is scheduled to return to the screens... but it is not known when.

“HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” a spokesperson for the platform confirmed to Variety . “In the meantime, we are allowing our highly sought-after cast to pursue other opportunities.”

That is, the good news is that they intend to return us to the Euphoria universe with a third season that would be slowly in development. Sam Levinson and his team are working on writing the scripts but there doesn't seem to be any rush. Two years have passed since we saw the second season and, since then, the development of the third has been delayed due to the writers' strike and the death of Angus Cloud in July 2023, one of the actors in the cast who played a trafficker. drug addict and friend of the protagonist. However, as the company spokesperson points out, its main cast consisting of Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and Hunter Schafer did not waste time and took advantage of the pause to continue expanding their careers until they became some of the most sought-after figures in Hollywood right now.

Therefore, as they develop scripts, the unstoppable rise of their stars could easily become the most difficult handicap to overcome when the time comes to get production underway.


The inevitable doubts

I think it's perfect that they're taking the time to develop the story. As it is a series with an exquisite and sharp narrative quality, awarded and applauded by critics, it is essential that they dedicate the time necessary to create a continuation that lives up to it. Pampering, caring for and expanding the universe created around Rue (Zendaya) with her internal demons from mourning and drug addiction, while continuing to take care of the narrative development of the rest of the young people around her, each with their problems, nuances, traumas. and personal challenges.

However, although they want to give hope with the news by denying any rumor of definitive cancellation, I fear that this slow and apparently unhurried development hides a drawback that could put its future completely in doubt . Because, how are they going to combine the agendas of their stars when the time comes if they are giving them free rein to continue exploring other projects, and just when they are being requested by the industry? Balancing the schedules of Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and Hunter Schafer could turn into a logistical nightmare that could only delay production that much further.

Right now, Zendaya is at the top of the box office with Dune: Part 2  while she has the imminent release of Defiants  in the pipeline. This is the new film by Luca Guadagnino ( Call Me by Your Name ) about a former tennis prodigy and the triangle she forms between her husband and his former best friend. A premiere that arrives on Amazon Prime Video at the end of April while we wait for news from Denis Villeneuve about the development of the third part of Duna , not counting the weeks of promotion, travel and international commitments that each premiere requires.

Sydney Sweeney is reaping the rewards of her efforts after being crowned the new princess of romantic comedies with the global success of With Everyone But You. The film co-starring Glen Powell not only swept the box office, becoming the first rom-com in half a decade to exceed $200 million in revenue, but now it is also gaining attention on platforms and once again standing strong alongside Inmaculada . Meanwhile, she continues to take steps through the launch of her own products, partnering with brands and finishes filming two other productions while rumors of a possible sequel to With Everyone But You circulate.

A penumbral eclipse of the Moon, visible throughout America, will reduce the satellite's brightness

 On March 25, a penumbral lunar eclipse will take place that will be visible throughout America, eastern Oceania, western Africa and Europe.

This type of eclipse occurs when the Moon (full), the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the Earth's satellite enters the twilight zone projected by the Earth.

When this happens, the Moon stops receiving light from the Sun because the Earth blocks the sun's rays, so its luminosity drops and it looks a little dark.

According to data from the National Astronomical Observatory (OAN), the eclipse will last 4 hours and 37 minutes and will leave 96% of the lunar diameter in darkness.

The eclipse will begin at 4 hours and 53 minutes GMT time, and will be visible especially in America, and with less intensity in Africa and Europe.

The event will end at 9 hours and 32 minutes GMT, after having been visible in the last phases in America and Oceania.

The next eclipse, which will take place on April 8, will be a total solar eclipse in Mexico, the central United States and eastern Canada, and a partial eclipse in North America and Central America.

As for the Moon, the next eclipse will be partial and can be seen after the summer, on September 8, according to the OAN.
