Sydney Sweeney actually couldn’t be happier that “Euphoria” Season 3 — whose filming was recently delayed at HBO — will involve a time jump from Season 2.
The Emmy-nominated actress revealed in a Who What Wear cover story that the extra time between Seasons 2 and 3 of the teen drama will give the actress “more room for growth” as a person, which no doubt will be reflected in her character Cassie’s arc for the upcoming “wild” installment.
“I actually like it because there’s so much room for growth for both me as a person and also Cassie as a character,” Sweeney said.
She teased of the upcoming storyline, “It’s going to be very, very wild.”
A recent statement from HBO revealed that “Euphoria” showrunner Sam Levinson is still at work on Season 3 scripts. A network representative said that HBO and Levinson “remain committed to making an exceptional third season” and that “in the interim,...

Euphoria Season 3 is coming — just not soon. In a new statement on Monday, HBO revealed that while creator Sam Levinson was still “committed” to making a third season of the hit drama, any projected premiere dates have been postponed. Variety reported that scripts for Season Three are still being written.
“HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” an HBO spokesperson told the outlet. “In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.”
Delays seem to be part of Euphoria‘s DNA.

HBO’s hit controversial show Euphoria from the risqué maestro, Sam Levinson, has delayed the shoot for season 3. Levinson had planned to work on season 3 while his other series for HBO, Idol, was in post-production, but the dual strikes from the writers’ and actors’ unions would initially hold up the production. HBO’s Head of Drama Francesca Orsi said last year, “Euphoria is one of those that we had begun writing in tandem with post-production on Idol but at this point, we don’t have countless scripts. We can’t start shooting, so the delivery of that show — ideally in 2025 — will be determined on when we can pick back up with Sam [Levinson], who at this point is all pencils down and just finishing posts on Idol.“
Now HBO is telling Deadline that while Levinson tweaks the scripts for season 3, they are letting the stars take on other projects during the delay.

Fans of “Euphoria” will have to wait even longer for a third season.
Season 3 has been plagued with all sorts of false starts. Last we officially heard, in May 2023, HBO drama chief Francesca Orsi said the third season was expected to air in 2025. However, a new statement from the network announced that production has been delayed.
“HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” a representative for HBO told IndieWire. “In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.”
“Euphoria” marked breakout roles for Zendaya (who has won two Emmy Awards for her portrayal of teen drug addict Rue), Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Dominic Fike, Barbie Ferreira, Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo, and the late Angus Cloud, who died in 2023. Season 2 concluded in February 2022. Sweeney recently told MTV at SXSW that she was “going into ‘Euphoria'” production next.

Jeremy Irons and double-Palme d’Or winner Bille August are gearing up for their highly-anticipated Count of Monte Cristo series but when offered the chance to work on the project, they had certain red lines.
“I wouldn’t have taken it if it was a movie, it had to be TV,” Danish director August told Deadline at Series Mania. “The story is so rich and deserves TV. For this one it was obvious.”
Oscar-winner Irons said TV series can do “these great novels justice” in a way that some movies can’t, referencing his breakout work on 1981’s Brideshead Revisited, which was across 13 episodes. Both stars have skewed towards movies during their decorated careers and Count Of Monte Cristo has never been made for TV. A 2002 movie version saw Richard Harris play Irons’ role.

HBO was built on the back of showrunners such as David Chase, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and Jesse Armstrong but is now facing a new dilemma involving directors.
Drama boss Francesca Orsi lifted the lid on the “consistent tussle” over who is charge of a series as more and more “esteemed” directors move into television.
Orsi, speaking at the Series Mania event in France alongside Jane Tranter, boss of Doctor Who producer Bad Wolf, said that high-profile directing talent want to be the “final arbiter” on the network’s originals.

Warner Bros. Discovery is looking to ride on the success of Game of Thrones, with more spinoff projects planned in the franchise. HBO ordered a prequel series, titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, in April 2023. It will be the third project in the World of Westeros. New reports from the studio suggest that the project will premiere in late 2025. However, fans are skeptical about the project at this stage.
WB receives criticism for milking out more Game of Thrones spinoffs
The new series based on George R. R. Martin’s books will be written and executive-produced by Martin and Ira Parker. Ryan Condal, the House of the Dragon showrunner, serves as another one of the executive producers on this spin-off show.

After the success of True Detective: Night Country, HBO has renewed the anthology series for season 5. More on the news below.
True Detective: Night Country wrapped its run earlier this week with a shocking, violent finale. The whole season, spearheaded by Issa Lopez, has divided audiences with its new, more supernatural approach to the traditional True Detective style.
Night Country nevertheless became the most watched season of True Detective, which has prompted HBO to renew the series for another season, with Lopez to return as showrunner.
As all previous seasons have focused on completely new characters, we can assume we’ve seen the last of Jodie Fosters’ Liz Danvers and Kali Reis’ trooper Navarro. That being said, Night Country did break almost all previous True Detective rules, so perhaps we’ll still return to Ennis, Alaska for another chilly mystery.

True Detective staging a comeback both creatively and in the ratings wasn’t on our bingo card for 2024.
HBO on Thursday confirmed that it has picked up True Detective Season 5, mere days after the conclusion of True Detective: Night Country.
The series started in 2014 with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in the lead roles, scoring rave reviews and high viewership.
One year later, the franchise imploded with a season featuring Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch, Kelly Reilly, and Vince Vaughn.
At that point, it seemed the series was dead… only to get another reprieve in 2018 with Mahershala Ali as the lead.
The reviews were decent, but it didn’t succeed as much as its predecessors. The franchise went dormant again… until Jodie Foster agreed to appear on True Detective: Night Country.

Issa López can't stop winning.
Season 4 of the hit HBO series "True Detective" was a massive risk, with show creator Nic Pizzolatto stepping back after three seasons to collect executive producer checks and whine on Instagram, while López took the series into a completely different direction with "Night Country" and navigated her predecessor's pettiness with the utmost grace. The risk paid off, big time, as "Night Country" became the most-watched season of the series yet, as well as the highest-rated on Rotten Tomatoes. So it's no surprise that HBO has wisely decided to renew the acclaimed drama for a fifth installment, with López returning for a new season under a multiyear overall deal with the company. Meaning, she will not only create season 5 of "True Detective," but she will also provide additional projects exclusive to HBO and the Max streaming platform.

HBO is getting ready to unleash its latest miniseries in the form of "The Regime." The series has a lot going for it as it has an Oscar-winning actress at the center of the story, which hails from two of the minds behind one of the network's most beloved shows in recent memory, "Succession." But this is a very different sort of show not focused on the world of messy corporate politics, instead taking place inside a European palace and an authoritarian regime.
But what is this show about, exactly? Who is behind the camera and responsible for its creation? Who is in front of the camera bringing this political regime to life? We're here to answer all of those questions and more, offering up everything you need to know about the show before it arrives. Let's get into it.

HBO’s Game of Thrones universe is expanding once again. Following the success of ‘House of the Dragon,’ a new spinoff titled ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’ is gearing up to start filming in 2024. This news comes straight from HBO’s Casey Bloys. While it was initially expected to begin production earlier, the team is still working on casting and writing.
The new series dives into George R. R. Martin’s ‘Tales of Dunk and Egg‘, set about a century before the events of Game of Thrones. It will explore the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg. The show plans to adapt the three novellas: ‘The Hedge Knight’, ‘The Sworn Sword’, and ‘The Mystery Knight’. HBO’s Francesca Orsi mentioned that the show’s lack of dragons means quicker production, thanks to fewer visual effects.
HBO has big plans for this series.

Elizabeth Banks wants to play a murder victim on HBO’s The White Lotus.
The actress-producer spoke about her dream role on Live With Kelly and Mark Friday while promoting the new animated movie Migration she stars in, which was written by The White Lotus writer, director and executive producer Mike White four years ago, before he embarked on the hit HBO murder mystery series.
“I want to be murdered so badly on The White Lotus,” she said. “Kill me. Please, kill me. I don’t know how it happens but…,” Banks said before getting interrupted by Ripa who implored her that she had to do it, prompting Banks to say, “Tell him!,” referring to While.
Ripa obliged, turning to the camera to say, “Mike White, please put your friend Elizabeth Banks in White Lotus season 3 or 4. We’ll take either one.”
As Deadline reported last month, The White Lotus started casting for its upcoming third installment immediately after the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike on Nov. 9.
There has been a lot of activity since, with the producers sending offers to several well known stars and reading a lot of actors. So far, no new cast members have been locked in and set to join Season 1’s Natasha Rothwell. She is reprising her role as Belinda in the Thailand-set third season, which will follow those that are vacationing at a resort there.
As Deadline reported, thirteen roles are casting, nine of them series regulars — ranging in ages between 18-80s — with a patriarch, a corporate executive, an actress, a couple of mothers, a misfit and a yogi in the multi-generational group.
It is unknown which of the Season 3 characters will turn up dead but the actors who played the major victims in the first two seasons, Murray Bartlett and Jennifer Coolidge, both earned major awards recognition for their performances.
Filming is tentatively slated to begin in early February in Thailand.
“It’s going to be a supersized White Lotus,” White said about Season 3 last month. “It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier. I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing.”
It is unclear whether this means that the number of episodes would increase again after going up from 6 in Season 1 to 7 in Season 2.
Originally targeted for 2024, Season 3 is “likely moving into 2025” due to the strikes, Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO and Max, said last month.
Following the Season 2 finale of The White Lotus last December, White said that Season 3 will explore “death in Eastern religion and spirituality.”
Said HBO’s head of drama Francesca Orsi in May, “It’s an exploration about spirituality versus the ego. And it’s set against the Eastern religion.”...
