Euphoria actor Colman Domingo has shared his enthusiasm regarding creator Sam Levinson’s scripts for season 3 of the acclaimed HBO series. Known for its unfiltered look at teenage life, Euphoria centers on Rue Bennett’s struggles with addiction and more, and Domingo plays her AA sponsor. With filming set to start in early 2025, the series will bring back its talented cast.
In an interview, Domingo, though he hasn’t seen the scripts, praised what he’s heard about them. He described the writing as some of the best Levinson has ever done, highlighting that it involves the familiar characters having breakthroughs as they fight for their place in the world.
What Domingo’s comments signify is that season 3 is shaping up to be a transformative phase for Euphoria. After rumors of cancellation, Levinson aims to take the characters from high school to adulthood, enabling deeper narrative exploration. A time-jump allows for the characters to face new challenges outside the high school setting, which aligns with the show’s strength in portraying character evolution and raw emotions. The idea of “breakthroughs” could mean growth and redemption for key characters, balancing the series’ darkness with optimism.
Domingo’s remarks continue to build anticipation for the upcoming season. Since its 2019 debut, Euphoria has been a cultural phenomenon, lauded for its storytelling and performances. Levinson’s commitment to crafting an engaging continuation in a new setting, as vouched for by Domingo, gives hope that season 3 will be well worth the wait for fans.
