Trent W Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I think they should just cancel it at this point They are all too old and too big to go back Season 3 will be a mess without Angus and all of them being in their late 20s almost 30. The show was cool because they were in high school, young and more vulnerable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceOddity Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 36 minutes ago, SinnerCity said: Zendaya, Sydney and Jacob blew up the way they did because of Euphoria and the show reached new heights by the end of Season 2. It was a terrible mistake not to continue the show in 2023. The show started in 2018 and although we understand the pandemic caused major delays they really shouldn't have dropped the ball, especially cause the actors are now six years older, like, it wouldn't just be believable to have them in High School anymore. Launching a new show amidst SO many allegations of you being shitty and stealing aesthetics, rewrites, having actors not share scenes together and feuding, one of your major protagonists dying didn't help either. Who knows how much longer he would've paused Euphoria for had The Idol not flopped so miserably and done just as well or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archetype Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 HBO should cancel this show. It's not even Euphoria anymore if he needs to skip 5 years in the plot just because all of his actors are nearing 30 due to how long he took to write the script. Like I would have fired him for that alone. It's his job to work around the schedules of the talent and not the other way around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Jacobs Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 First of all.. I thought it was her busy schedule that delayed things.. Second of all.. He is allowed to do other projects. What she did wasn't professional ngl. It's giving brat. 2 seasons in 5 years it's not like the show is a masterpiece that it would take this long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50thStateofMind Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 2 hours ago, brutal said: Not sure why people are taking this as meaning she wants the show over with? She is literally begging for him to make the new season. No tea no shade but this show is ALL she has! All her box office "hits" are no part due to her SUPPORTING role, and her first lead film exposed her mediocre starpower and needs to have a spin of "highest grossing tennis movie" or "Twitter memes" to make it seem like a success. So obviously she wants this one actual smash project she is a lead in and wins (undeserved) Emmys for to keep going on... you sound so mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stjosephprey4us Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Idol should have stuck with the og concept. It seemed interesting until Sam joined the project. it's nice to hear that Zendaya seems to be fighting for season 3 (if this tea is even remotely true). I think Sam has such a weird process and the show is so huge rn that he's having a Rihanna moment, stalling to put out the new season for fear of it not living up to expectations. However, I think they need to re-evaluate the time jump. 5 years is too much, and I feel like the story won't work well outside of a school-ish setting. They can all pass for college age, we shouldn't skip that part of the characters' lives Give us fresh into college, or wrapping up college years with season 3, season 4 have them move on and be adults. Maddy, Jules, and anyone else who's not too busy with projects can stay on for season 4, with a handful of fresh, new, younger characters. Have Zendaya, Jacob, and Sydney come on for a couple of episodes to keep viewers interested. And if that doesn't pan out well, have season 4 be the last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually not true, hbo had a bunch of complaints about the original script and especially the production value being far below even the minimum standard. I have seen pictures of the original sets and costumes, it all looks terrible. Sam was the one who improved the visual aesthetic of the show and convinced Abel to take a lead role despite his acting inexperience and rewrote the script to include more sex scenes to make it more like Euphoria. Basically Sam was called in by hbo to bring some order to the chaos and he ended up changing the show in unforseen ways. People overstate how controversial the show actually is because of that hit piece full of lies from Rolling Stone, I was expecting something controversial and just got bored pretty quickly The Idol was a letdown, not as bad as some people say though if you understand what it was actually going for. The good thing to come out of the show was the soundtrack, I am still bumpig those now. Honestly just might be for the best if they were to scrap Euphoria season 3, it had it's moment but has been going downhill for awhile Edited July 23 by 4th Time Around 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForgottenSoul Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 3 hours ago, Eóghan said: I think she's coming up with excuses to get out of the contract she probably already signed for season 3. She should call up Sydney to back her up, so they can cancel Sam, hence cancel the show. Don't underestimate HBO/Warner, they quite powerful and you don't wanna be on their bad side. Is it really excuses if they are taking forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Levinson is putting the blame on her for supposedly wanting to focus on her movie career (which is what she should be doing btw. She is having a big moment in her career that any actor would take advantage of) even though Jacob and Sydney have 6+ projects in the work each. That creep is being weird towards Zendaya yet again.
