Euphoria Season 2 Starts Filming In Early 2021 | Screen Rant
HBO president Casey Bloys has confirmed Euphoria season two will begin filming in early 2021. The series was set to begin shooting season two in early March when the coronavirus pandemic hit. The virus forced the production to shut down until it was safe to start filming again. Starring Zendaya, the teen drama, co-produced by A24, was a hit for HBO when it began airing in June of 2019.
In a conversation with Deadline after the Emmys, Bloys confirmed production on Euphoria season two will begin sometime in early 2021. This will put nearly a two year gap between seasons 1 and 2 airing, but Bloys has something in store to hold fans over. A special COVID episode is being planned to bridge the gap between the two seasons, and it is sure to be as crazy as some episodes from season 1.
The announcement from Bloys comes on the heels of three Emmy wins for the show, including one major award. Zendaya took home the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. She is the youngest actress ever to snag the award. Details around the special COVID episode are scarce, but the announcement is sure to excite fans who are not looking forward to an even longer wait for season 2.
Euphoria has faced plenty of controversy for the situations it depicts its teenaged characters in, but it hasn't stopped the actors or creator Sam Levinson from digging in. A release date for season 2 was not announced, but with production beginning in early 2021, it's likely the series won't return until the summer at the earliest. This would put it premiering right around the same time as season 1 in 2019. Despite the delay, Euphoria is sure to remain a hot button topic of conversation in season 2.
