'This season could've been an email': Euphoria season 3's 8-episode count after over 4-year wait has fans fuming
Euphoria season 3 has an *update* and honestly...it's as yawn-inducing as you'd anticipate it to be.
Being part of the Euphoria fandom feels the same as being ghosted by the man of your dreams who you are convinced is your soulmate. But like every good situationship worth its salt, the restlessness eventually fizzles out and all you're left with is rage (and eventually disinterest). And this seems to be the exact trajectory Euphoria season 3 seems to be treading.
Recent reports assert that the the third season, set to come in after over a 4-year wait, will only have 8 episodes. Safe to say, fans aren't mincing words.

Comments capturing the general sentiment read, "this season couldve been an email tbh", "These episodes better be 3 hours each if it took 4 years to make", "8 episodes ??? In 4 yrs ???", "It's sad to say but I'm honestly over it LMAOO. Like they should have just made a little follow up special to tie it up and called it a day at this point" and "Yea jus keep it. You had all this time and u came up wit only 8 episodes?" to quote a few.
While it's understandable the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the skyrocketing careers of majority of the cast members (not to mention Sam Levinson's dumpster fire of a detour with Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd-starrer The Idol) created, what appears to be never-ending scheduling conflicts — fans aren't having any of the excuses anymore.
Euphoria debuted with its first season back in June 2019, with two pacifying specials following in December of the following year. Season 2 arrived 2 whole years later, in January of 2022, making for, honestly, not THAT bad a track record. But between 2022 and 2025, a 4-year waiting, further extended owing to cast member Angus Cloud's death, will see the third season, hopefully premiere next year, IF that.
Zendaya, who plays Rue Bennett, already wildly popular, cemented her spot as an all-rounder performer. Sydney Sweeney, who plays Cassie Howard, launched her Hollywood career landing an Emmy-nomination and kickstarting a very lucrative production gig on the side. Jacob Elordi, who plays Nate Jacobs, doubled down on his sensational status, landing some pretty key note projects, both mainstream and indie. And that's great for them. But for the fandom still stuck on the chaotic, whimsical cliff hanger for season 2 — 8 episodes just doesn't seem to be cutting it.
So will Euphoria season 3 manage to capitalise on the legacy of the show — or is this a lost cause when it comes to famring audience interest?

Vivek Oberoi's Net Worth: Bollywood actor credits early stock market exposure for building ₹1,200 crore fortune
Actor Vivek Oberoi, whose acting career didn't went well, has turned himself into a successful businessman by creating a ₹ 1,200 crore biz empire. During a recent interview on Owais Andrabi's Dubai Property Insider podcast, Vivek revealed that his father only played the role of a mentor in his life and never helped him financially. Vivek, son of actor and politician Suresh Oberoi, made his Bollywood debut in 2002 with Ram Gopal Verma's film 'Company', and became a household name with movie 'Saathiya' (2002), directed by Shaad Ali. Talking about how he built such a big empire, Vivek said that his father groomed him regarding economics and business from a very young age. 'He would bring me a product and would ask me to create an entire business plan about how I was going to sell it. I started understanding the nuances of business from the age of 10 because I was going from door to door to sell that stuff.' Vivek further said that his father used to tell him 'I am a rich man; you are not. You will get there, but you have to do it on your own.' He also credited his exposure to the stock market trading and real estate investments during his teenage years for shaping up his entrepreneurial journey. He said: 'I was able to raise $3 million for my first company, and I was only 19, and I made a lot of money for my investors and myself, and I sold the company by the time I was 23. If I hadn't been applying myself for all those years, it never would have been possible. Because I put in that work, now I have been able to take nine companies public on the Indian stock market, and I am planning to take four more.' As of April 2025 Vivek Oberoi has a net worth of ₹ 1200 crore, according to Forbes India. His ventures include BNW Real Estate Developers, a prominent player in the UAE luxury market, and Solitario, a lab-grown diamond brand. Other business ventures in which Vivek has invested include global brand accelerator Impresario Global, a gin brand called Rutland Square Spirits, and vehicle care platform ReadyAssist. He relocated to Dubai since the Covid pandemic.

Eric Dane Juggles Relationships With 3 Women Amid ALS Battle: All About Ex-Wife, GF and Mystery Woman
Euphoria star Eric Dane made headlines this week after showing up at the Countdown premiere with filmmaker Janell Shirtcliff. The two were seen holding hands and exchanging smiles at the event, sparking questions about Dane's current relationship status. The outing came just months after Dane shared emotional comments about his estranged wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart. To complicate things further, a third woman, Priya Jain, who has reportedly been dating Dane since 2024, was said to be blindsided by the public appearance with Shirtcliff. Eric Dane has reportedly been in an on-and-off relationship with director and photographer Janell Shirtcliff for over three years. According to Entertainment Tonight, the two care deeply for each other. A source told the outlet, 'Eric asked Janell to be there for him during this time, and she wanted to show up for him.' Shirtcliff is currently working on two films, Generation Angst (in pre-production) and Triton (in post-production), according to her IMDb profile. Her support seems to have taken on new meaning since Dane revealed in April that he had been diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Is Priya Jain still in the picture? But Shirtcliff isn't the only woman linked to Dane. Priya Jain, a 27-year-old actress, reportedly started dating Dane in summer 2024, and they became exclusive in November. A Page Six source claimed, 'They never broke up.' Jain and Dane were seen together as recently as last weekend, and she has reportedly spent almost every night at his house. The pair even have matching tattoos. According to the source, Jain was 'blindsided' by Dane's public appearance with Shirtcliff. Dane also maintains a strong bond with his estranged wife, Rebecca Gayheart, whom he married in 2004. She filed for divorce in 2018 but requested a dismissal of the petition in March 2025, without prejudice, meaning she can refile later. Despite their complicated past, including a widely publicized 2009 leaked bathtub video, Dane spoke warmly about Gayheart during his recent Good Morning America appearance. 'I call Rebecca. I talk to her every day,' he said, while fighting back tears. 'She is probably my biggest champion, my most stalwart supporter, and I lean on her.' While Dane and Gayheart continue to co-parent their daughters and stay emotionally close, his relationship with Shirtcliff seems to be rekindled, at least publicly. Meanwhile, Jain's camp insists there was no breakup and that their relationship was still ongoing, making Dane's love life anything but clear. For now, it seems Dane is leaning on those closest to him as he faces his ALS diagnosis. Whether he is officially dating Shirtcliff or Jain remains uncertain, but both women, along with Gayheart, appear to be part of his life in different ways.
