Euphoria season 2 is officially happening on HBO, but there's still uncertainty when it comes to its arrival. Due to the current global health crisis, there could be a potential delay. The premiere date might be pushed back and viewers may need to wait for a while.
Euphoria season 2 has been renewed back in July 2019, with current showrunner Sam Levinson expected to return. The first installment premiered in June 2019, so many assumed the new season will arrive the same month in 2020. However, that schedule may not be followed now.
In a report via TVLine, the production of the series hasn't yet started before the real-life health crisis hits the world. Cast and crew won't be able to go back filming immediately. This is a huge challenge for everyone and they could likely start working again when the situation goes back to normal.
According to CarterMatt, the earliest premiere date of Euphoria season 2 would be next summer. Yet, the wait could be longer as everything depends on the current condition of the world. One of the major challenges of the series is that it is tied to the youth of the cast.
The show follows the teenage life of the characters, but cast members are getting older so this is a huge challenge for everyone. This could likely be one of the major discussions in the future, or in season 3 or 4. For now, the top priority is the safety and health of the cast and crew.
When it come s to the story, season 1 finale left a huge cliffhanger and this will likely be explored in the Euphoria season 2. Rue's health is the biggest concern here. She relapsed after refusing to get on the train with Jules to escape their suburban lives.
A dream-like music video also appears, hinting that Rue overdosed and her life is potentially in danger. Meanwhile, Nate suffered from an emotional and mental breakdown after the winter formal. He and Maddy broke up and the latter has evidence against his father.
As for Cassie, she found out that she's pregnant with her college boyfriend McKay's baby. However, she had an abortion prior to the winter formal. Lastly, Fez -- a drop out drug dealer -- might be killed for committing robbery to repay his supplier.
Euphoria stars Zendaya as Rue Bennett, Hunter Schafer as Jules Vaughn, Maude Apatow as Alexis "Lexi" Howard, Angus Cloud as Fezco O'Neill, Eric Dane as Cal Jacobs, Alexa Demie as Madeleine "Maddy" Perez, Jacob Elordi as Nathaniel "Nate" Jacobs, Barbie Ferreira as Katerina "Kat" Hernandez, Sydney Sweeney as Cassie Howard, and Algee Smith as Christopher McKay.
