‘Euphoria’ renews for Season 3 on HBO

Fans of the trippy, Zendaya-led teen drama titled ‘Euphoria’ will be able to chase the same high after Season 2 because the scandalous and visually sensational Sam Levinson series will return for a third season, reports Variety.

The Emmy-winning high school show was a shoo-in for a junior year renewal. Along with the intoxicating amount of social media traction and buzz it generates on a week-by-week basis, the first three installments of Season 2 have nearly doubled in per-episode viewership in comparison to its freshman season.

Season 2’s premiere episode on Jan. 9 has garnered 14 million total viewers across HBO and HBO Max to date. That is close to an increase of 100% from the 6.6 million average audience size that was drawn by Season 1’s episodes during its summer 2019 runtime. In addition, the Season 2 premiere was the No. 1 most social premium cable episode since the “Game of Thrones” finale in May 2019.

“Sam, Zendaya, and the entire cast and crew of ‘Euphoria’ have taken Season 2 to extraordinary heights, challenging narrative convention and form, while maintaining its heart,” announced Francesca Orsi, executive vice president, HBO Programming, in a statement.

“We couldn’t be more honored to work with this gifted, wildly talented team,” she added.

The Season 2 finale of ‘Euphoria’ airs on February 27.
