A new report has shed light on the delayed third season of Euphoria<\/em><\/a>. Though none of the series stars nor crew members has publicly spoken out, The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> reported that creator Sam Levinson<\/strong>\u2018s involvement in the controversial series The Idol<\/em> led to production delays.<\/p>\n

Per the report that was published earlier this week, a source claimed that Euphoria<\/em> star Zendaya<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s relationship with Levinson changed because of his participation in his other HBO show.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer image is pristine,\u201d an executive told the publication, referring to Zendaya\u2019s fan base. \u201cAnd fans were turning against Sam.\u201d<\/p>\n

At first, the actress, 27, and the filmmaker and writer, 39, \u201cwere thick as thieves\u201d during the early days of their collaboration, an insider said, adding, \u201cShe found him to be an inspiring director and she knew she was embodying him\u201d in her role as Rue, who is a drug addict in the series.<\/p>\n

A separate source close to Levinson, however, claimed that the reason behind Euphoria<\/em>\u2018s production delay was because of Zendaya\u2019s film career. The actress has starred in multiple blockbusters, from Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em>, to Dune: Part Two<\/em> and, most recently, Challengers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, other sources informed the publication that Levinson is difficult to work with behind the camera, alleging that he has \u201cstressful\u201d expectations for everyone to keep up with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cSam was so stressful to everyone around him,\u201d a source told the publication in the expos\u00e9. \u201cHe is a person who needs to be handled.\u201d Per the insider, Levinson\u2019s alleged obsessive demeanor caused him to have \u201cno off button\u201d at work. \u201cHe would shoot all night, if he could,\u201d the source added. \u201cHe always wants to push boundaries and shock people a little bit. He needs someone to curate his thoughts and ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The last episode of Euphoria<\/em> aired in early 2022. Since then, fans have eagerly stood by for updates regarding the third season, which HBO confirmed is underway.<\/p>\n

Neither Levinson nor Zendaya has publicly commented on the recent claims about Euphoria<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
