Euphoria was in the news after Sunday’s Emmys. The Sam Levinson-created series won three Emmys, including a major surprise in Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series thanks to Zendaya win. Along with the Zendaya surprise, the series also won Emmys for Outstanding Contemporary Makeup and Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.
While there is quite the buzz after Sunday, the wait for Season 2 is going to be a long one. The show’s eight-episode first season wrapped its run over a year ago on August 4, 2019, and season 2 will not be ready to air until well into 2021 or even 2022.
HBO president Casey Bloys confirmed to Deadline after the Emmys that season 2 is currently targeting a production start in early 2021.
With a production start date being targeted for early 2021, Euphoria is likely to be off the air for at least two years in-between seasons. However, HBO is moving forward with a “special Covid episode” of the show. Bloys added,
“We might end up doing a little bridge episode,” Zendaya said at the time. “I don’t really know how to describe it, but an episode that we can do with a limited amount of people in a safer environment so we have something to live on until we are able to go into Season 2.”.
