HBO confirms 'Euphoria' ends with third season

The HBO drama "Euphoria" has officially ended after three seasons and 26 episodes, concluding its run with the third season finale, titled "In God We Trust."

Creator, writer, and director Sam Levinson shared the news during an appearance on The New York Times' "Popcast" podcast. HBO subsequently confirmed Levinson's announcement to Variety. The series finale aired after a significant four-year gap between the second and third seasons, a delay attributed partly to the demanding schedules of its lead actors, including Zendaya, who had become major stars with blockbuster film commitments.

"Euphoria" chronicled the lives of high school students navigating complex issues such as drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love, and friendship. The third season, following a time jump, delved into themes of faith, redemption, and the nature of evil.

The cast also included Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Adebayo Akinoje-Agbadge, and Colman Domingo. Levinson had previously indicated that he wrote each season as if it were the last, and his hesitation when asked about a potential fourth season further hinted at the show's impending conclusion.

I don't know. For now, all I want is to spend time with my wife and children, read Elmore Leonard, and rewatch 'Mrs. Miniver.'
