'Euphoria' star Storm Reid has addressed the recent announcement from HBO regarding the halt in filming for Season 3 of the popular series. Reid remains hopeful that production will resume in the future, emphasizing the importance of handling the show with care. She expressed her dedication to the project, stating, 'We've put our hearts and soul into it.'
The news of the production delay was confirmed by HBO earlier this week, with a spokesperson reaffirming the network's commitment to delivering an exceptional third season. The decision to pause filming was made to allow the cast to explore other opportunities while logistical issues are resolved.
Reid shared her mixed feelings about the delay, acknowledging the complexities involved in resuming production swiftly. Despite her disappointment, she expressed confidence that the show will continue to authentically portray real-world issues such as addiction and mental health.
In her role as Gia, the sister of Zendaya's character Rue, Reid has been a part of the ensemble cast that includes talented young actors like Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, and Hunter Schafer. The series has garnered critical acclaim for its portrayal of complex themes and characters.
Season 3 of 'Euphoria' had already faced delays due to industry strikes and the tragic passing of co-star Angus Cloud. The show's anticipated return in 2025 was confirmed by HBO in November 2023, following the successful second season premiere in January 2022.
Zendaya, who plays the lead role of Rue, has received accolades for her performance, including two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe. Colman Domingo, another cast member, also earned an Emmy win for his work on the series. The show itself was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series in 2022.
