The 2026 TV schedule is shaping up to be entertaining, given a number of marquee titles are already set to debut or return. Among those programs is Euphoria, which is returning for its highly anticipated third season on HBO. It’s widely known, by this point, that the new episodes have been in production, yet it still amazes me just how long a season of the show takes to complete filming. That point was driven home further when Sydney Sweeney shared an update on the shoot with CinemaBlend.

Euphoria Season 3 has been percolating for some time now, as the last batch of episodes debuted back in 2022. The delays are, in part, due to the busy schedules of the stars, including Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney. When CB spoke to Sweeney, we asked if she was already looking ahead to the new episodes premiering or if she’s simply taking everything a day at a time. Her response was marked by enthusiasm and conveyed just how long production has been going.
