Euphoria season 3 caused a major chaos after being delayed, making fans almost forgetting the storyline of the previous instalments.

The HBO show’s postponement has been blamed on Zendaya’s other projects and her reported beef with co-star Sydney Sweeney.

However, there are other issues that hindered the process of filming as the writers’ and actor’s strikes began, halting everything.

Moreover, Angus Cloud, who played the role of Fezco in the series, and producer Kevin Turen passed away.

The sets of Euphoria were not free from drama as Zendaya and Sam Levinson embroiled in a fight which caused a significant delay.

It was reported that the actors were allowed to schedule other filming plans after the shooting was put on hold in March 2024.

The creators briefly considered making a movie instead of a season, however, the idea was scraped before they began producing the much-anticipated part.

Although the renewal was confirmed in 2022, there were reports about a fallout between the Spider-Man: No Way Home actress and Sydney.

Did Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney fight?

While not much is known about the reason, it was widely discussed that the Anyone But You star’s controversial moves were to be blamed.

The two Hollywood A-list stars denied promoting the popular series together and were not ready to stand next to each other.
