With that date swiftly approaching, a poster for MaXXXine has arrived online, sporting the warning that “Hollywood is a killer.” You can check it out at the bottom of this article.

When Euphoria first aired, it set a new bar for teen dramas. Its cast is a mix of so many different characters with unique story storylines and personal struggles.
Each gave fans a different window into realities or a mirror to connect with.
It discusses addiction, sexual exploration, sexuality, domestic abuse, body image, first loves, heartbreaks, the ups and downs of friendships, and so much more.
The show has been awarded nine Emmys for its first two seasons, which is not an easy feat, and the actors' careers blew up from it.
It was an overnight success and had a magnetic effect on fans.
However, one question has been all the talk since the second season came out in January 2022: When will Season 3 air, or will there even be a third season?
However, there's a follow-up question that can't be ignored. Is it time to give up on Euphoria Season 3?

Look out Hollywood! Maxine Minx has come to town to be a star, and heaven help those who get in her way. Including, presumably, a mysterious killer who has designs on her.
A24 has finally dropped the trailer for Maxxxine, the final nail in the proverbial coffin of its hit and acclaimed X horror trilogy from filmmaker Ti West.
The previous two installments, X and its prequel Pearl, proved to be a tour de force showcase for star Mia Goth when they were released back to back in 2022 and re-established West as a buzzy filmmaker in the horror community.
Maxxxine, written and directed by West, is set about six years after the events of X and focuses on the lone survivor of that bloody night, aspiring starlet Maxine, played by Goth. Now in grungy mid-1980s Hollywood, Maxine is now Maxine Minx, a full-fledged porn star (and wearing the mileage,...

The third season of HBO’s Euphoria could be in jeopardy as the explicit teen drama faces numerous issues plaguing its return. In an exclusive report from Variety, the outlet details the problems surrounding Euphoria Season 3, including story frustrations, rewrites, scheduling conflicts, and the fact that several show stars are some of Hollywood’s most in-demand actors.
HBO delayed production for Euphoria Season 3 earlier this week after announcing a spring start for cameras to roll. “HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” an HBO rep told Variety. “In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.”
A problem with releasing actors into the wild to participate in other marquee projects is scheduling. Rising stars like Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney could become swept up in blockbuster titles, adding months to their unavailability. Other complications cast doubt on a third season of the hit drama,...

Zendaya’s Euphoria has managed to garner massive ratings for HBO with its first two seasons, prompting the studio to trust Sam Levinson with a third season. While work on a potential new season began a long time back, HBO has officially announced a delay in the start of production. According to reports, the studio was initially content with Levinson’s pitch for the season, but lead star Zendaya’s certain suggestions to the script did not sit well with the executives.

Euphoria was set to begin production this spring after the strikes significantly delayed production. The series also faced other issues like the death of actor Angus Cloud and producer Kevin Turen, adding to the traumatic blow for the cast & crew.

During its two-season run on HBO, “Euphoria” has launched its young cast into superstardom and won multiple Emmys, while also being a magnet for controversy — but whatever lies ahead for the Sam Levinson-created show is going to have to wait.
Earlier this week, HBO officially delayed the drama, which was set to begin production later this spring. “HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” an HBO spokesperson told Variety. “In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.”
What the network isn’t saying is that no one at HBO is at all sure a third season of “Euphoria” will ever come to fruition given the disparate visions for the show’s next chapter. But “Euphoria” has been invaluable to the network — attracting the often-elusive millennial and Gen Z viewers, as well as massive ratings — and executives from Casey Bloys...

The third season of Euphoria has been in limbo ever since the sophomore installment finished its run in February 2022. Created by Sam Levinson, the provocative and edgy teen drama has received critical acclaim. However, it was recently reported that production on the much-awaited third season had once again been postponed.

According to industry insider Jeff Sneider, the latest delay is reportedly because of Tom Holland’s fourth outing in the Spider-Man franchise, which also features Euphoria star Zendaya in a major role. As a result, it seems production on Euphoria has once again shifted to make room for Spider-Man 4 on Zendaya’s schedule, and here is everything you need to know in that regard.

With creator Sam Levinson still working on scripts for the upcoming third season of HBO’s Euphoria, filming plans have been temporarily put on hold, with the cast given permission to take other acting jobs in the interim.

According to sources, there had been no firm production start date for Season 3 but filming was expected to begin within the next couple of months.

Everyone and their grandma knows that HBO’s hit series Euphoria is one of the most talked-about television events in recent years. Tackling a complex and layered set of themes and issues, Euphoria received critical acclaim and has been lauded by fans as well, winning several awards in the process. The series currently consists of two full seasons (18 episodes in total), but it was confirmed a while back that the third season would be filmed as well.
The initial production began in 2023 but was halted due to the large 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, as well as the unexpected deaths of Angus Cloud and Kevin Turen, both stars from the series. Production resumed in December 2023 and is currently on track, with Zendaya reprising her role as the series’ main character, the troubled Ruby “Rue” Bennett.

Production on MaXXXine, the sequel to director Ti West‘s films Pearl (watch it Here) and X (watch that one at This Link), is said to have wrapped last May, around the time that production company and distributor A24 unveiled a first look image from the movie that shows franchise star Mia Goth alongside singer Halsey. (That image can be seen at the bottom of this article.) Things have been pretty quiet on the MaXXXine front since then, aside from news of a lawsuit being filed by a background actor – but now, thanks to the YouTube interview show What’s Under the Bed?, we have a bit of a status update from West, who also happened to show off a prop from the film during his interview.
At about the 26:37 point of the What’s Under the Bed? interview, West is asked about the props he has kept from the movies he has made.

The In Memoriam segment of the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday paid a moving tribute to several television stars, creators and producers who have died over the last year — but social media was quick to point out the omissions.
Users on X, formerly Twitter, were upset that missing from the video montage of the In Memoriam segment were Ryan O’Neal and Ray Stevenson. O’Neal, who died Dec. 8 at age 82, had television credits stretching back to the 1960s, and he had notable roles on the soap Peyton Place and the sitcom Good Sports and also had a run on Bones.
Stevenson, who died May 23 at age 58, was most recently seen in the Disney+ Star Wars series Ahsoka, and worked consistently in television since the 1990s. His notable television credits include Vikings, Dexter and Rome.

Euphoria and X producer Kevin Turen died in November from cardiac dysfunction and heart disease, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office.
The producer’s cause of death was officially cited as acute cardiac dysfunction and hypertrophic heart disease, with the medical examiner also reporting coronary artery atherosclerosis as a significant contributing factor. The manner of death was determined to be of natural causes.
According to TMZ, which was first to report Turen’s cause of death, the producer experienced a medical emergency while driving on a California freeway Nov. 12 before being taken to the hospital, where he died. Edward Turen told The Los Angeles Times that Kevin had been driving back from a tennis tournament with his 10-year-old son in the car.

The 44-year-old producer is survived by his wife, Evelina, and his two sons, Jack and James.
The official cause of death was acute cardiac dysfunction and hypertrophic heart disease, with coronary artery disease also cited.
Turen was driving his Tesla on a California freeway when stricken. His 10-year-old son managed to stop the car and take it to the side of the road. Turen was then taken to the hospital and died there.
Turen first produced Larry Clark’s Wassup Rockers, and later went on to work with Sam Levinson to produce Malcolm and Marie, Trey Shultz’s Waves, Nicholas Jarecki’s Arbitrage, Nate Parker’s The Birth of a Nation, Kornel Mondruczo’s Pieces of a Woman, Ramin Bahrani’s 99 Homes, and Ti West’s X trilogy.

Production on MaXXXine, the sequel to director Ti West‘s films Pearl (watch it Here) and X (watch that one at This Link), is said to have wrapped back in May – around the time that production company and distributor A24 unveiled a first look image from the movie that shows franchise star Mia Goth alongside singer Halsey. (That image can be seen at the bottom of this article.) We’ve been anxiously waiting for any further updates on MaXXXine, and while we still don’t know when this movie is going to make its way out into the world, the folks at the horror magazine Scream have learned that the film is described as being “a good old whodunit slasher”.
That seems like a more fitting description that what Goth described it as, which is “a superhero movie“. She said that because, “Maxine, as a character, has come a long way.

The World Class Sinner is heading to an early grave. “The Idol,” Sam Levinson and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye’s controversial HBO drama has been canceled after just one season, IndieWire has confirmed.
“The Idol was one of HBO’s most provocative original programs, and we’re pleased by the strong audience response,” an HBO spokesperson said in a statement to IndieWire. “After much thought and consideration, HBO, as well as the creators and producers have decided not to move forward with a second season. We’re grateful to the creators, cast, and crew for their incredible work.”
The news comes almost two months after the show’s one-and-only season, which premiered in June, wrapped after five controversy-ridden episodes. But even before it premiered, Levinson and Tesfaye’s series about the romance between a pop star and a cult leader received considerable attention, due to several allegations of a troubled development process.

There won’t be a comeback for The Idol.
HBO won’t move ahead with a second season of the drama from Euphoria creator Sam Levinson and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, who also starred. The series, starring Lily-Rose Depp as a pop star who falls under the sway of a Hollywood club owner (Tesfaye), suffered mostly negative reviews from critics, and viewership fell short of some other recent HBO shows.

A decision on whether to renew or cancel The Idol was in flux until recently, sources say.

Goodbye, angel.
“The Idol” — HBO’s controversy-ridden series from Sam Levinson and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye — has been canceled after one season.

Season 1 concluded — after just five episodes, shortened from the originally planned six-episode run — on July 2.

The Idol is one and done at HBO.
The controversial series from Euphoria creator Sam Levinson and Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, will not be returning for a second season.
It’s not a huge surprise given the critical and commercial reception of the show, which starred Tesfaye and Lily-Rose Depp. It also came after extensive reshoots following the departure of director Amy Seimetz, as revealed by Deadline in April 2022, and a reduced order taking its total number of episodes to five.
Some of the cast did mention the possibility of a second season during interviews, though show insiders said that creators did not come into the production process with a plan for a multi-season arc.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who played one of the managers of Depp’s pop star Jocelyn, previously said that the first season was left intentionally open-ended for the possibility of a second.

The Idol is heading towards its season finale.
It has emerged that the HBO drama will consist of five episodes in its first season with the season finale airing on Sunday July 2.
This comes after it was originally believed to have received a six episode order, in November 2021, before the “creative changes” that Deadline revealed last year including the departure of original director Amy Seimetz.
Co-created by Sam Levinson, Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Reza Fahim, The Idol follows pop star Jocelyn, played by Lily-Rose Depp, who is determined to claim her rightful status as the greatest and sexiest pop star in America after a nervous breakdown derailed her last tour. Her passions are reignited by Tedros (Tesfaye), a nightclub impresario with a sordid past. Will her romantic awakening take her to glorious new heights or the deepest and darkest depths of her soul?

The internet loves to hate “The Idol,” but that doesn’t mean the show’s future has been set in stone. HBO has denied a report from Page Six claiming that Sam Levinson and The Weeknd’s controversial drama series will not return for a second season.
“It is being misreported that a decision on a second season of ‘The Idol’ has been determined,” HBO’s official PR Twitter account tweeted on Thursday, hours after Page Six’s report. “It has not, and we look forward to sharing the next episode with you Sunday night.”
Page Six’s story quoted two anonymous sources close to the production. One source claimed that The Weeknd, or Abel Tesfaye, was not planning a second season of the series, and that the show was always “intended to be a limited series.” HBO has not explicitly marketed “The Idol” as a limited series, so it...

Not so fast. HBO has responded to a report in New York Post’s Page Six, citing sources, that the music drama series would likely not return for a second season.
“It is being misreported that a decision on a second season of The Idol has been determined,” HBO wrote in a tweet. “It has not, and we look forward to sharing the next episode with you Sunday night.” (See below).
Page Six quoted a source as saying, “This was never meant to be a long-running show, it was always … a limited series.” The story also quoted a source inside HBO which refuted the idea that it would not return, saying “The door is definitely still open — it’s definitely not a decision [yet]. At this point, this is normal in our process … we’re only two episodes in.”

The buzz surrounding HBO’s controversial new series The Idol might just be working to its benefit.
Episode 2 aired on Sunday night, drawing about 800,000 total viewers across Max and linear HBO telecasts. That’s a slight dip from last week’s premiere audience of 913,000. According to HBO, viewing held steady on Max and the dip in viewers came via linear.
That makes sense, considering the series is likely targeting a younger demographic than the typical linear television viewer. Nielsen reports that The Idol viewers on Max are tracking 21 years younger than viewers via the HBO channel, a wider disparity than the typical HBO drama.
As predicted, viewing for the premiere episode has significantly increased since the episode aired. It has now surpassed 3.6M viewers in its first week on the service, which HBO says outpaces the series premieres for both The White Lotus (3M in 2021) and Euphoria (3.3M in 2019) in the same time period.

The premiere of The Idol didn’t draw a huge audience for HBO Sunday — but it did fall in line with some other recent series debuts on the premium cable outlet.
The Idol, which courted controversy with provocative trailers and was met with mostly negative reviews, drew 913,000 viewers across HBO (for the premiere and three replays) and Max on Sunday — with the majority of that coming via streaming on Max. The on-air debut on HBO drew 232,000 people, a little over a quarter of the total for the night.
The 913,000 viewers is a sizable step down from the first-night numbers for the final season of Succession, which immediately preceded The Idol in HBO’s 9 p.m. Sunday spot. It’s about level with a handful of other recent HBO drama debuts, however, including Winning Time (901,000 viewers) and season one of The White Lotus (944,000).

HBO said “Hello, angel” to 913,000 viewers when it aired the series premiere of “The Idol” on Sunday night.
Provided by Warner Bros. Discovery, that number points to Nielsen’s measurement of linear viewers on HBO’s cable channel combined with Wbd’s own data regarding streams on Max.
For context, “Euphoria” drew 1.1 million viewers when it premiered in 2019. Levinson’s second HBO outing is therefore 17% behind his first. The trajectory of “Euphoria” Season 1 viewership was mostly flat, peaking with 1.2 million viewers of the finale, meaning that “The Idol” could still manage to beat out “Euphoria’s” early performance if its audience continue to grow. But there’s only one month left to achieve that, as the drama’s first season will run for a short five episodes.

For context, “Euphoria” drew 1.1 million viewers when it premiered in 2019. Levinson’s second HBO outing is therefore 17% behind his first. The trajectory of “Euphoria” Season 1 viewership was mostly flat, peaking with 1.2 million viewers of the finale, meaning that “The Idol” could still manage to beat out “Euphoria’s” early performance if its audience continue to grow. But there’s only one month left to achieve that, as the drama’s first season will run for a short five episodes.

Will Sam Levinson have another HBO success on his hands with The Idol?
The series premiered Sunday night to 913,000 total viewers across Max and linear HBO telecasts, according to HBO. This is a fairly promising debut for The Idol, and viewership for the premiere is likely to grow in the next week as conversation about the somewhat controversial series continues ahead of Episode 2.
HBO says that new episodes of a series tend to draw 10%-20% of their total viewership on Sunday nights, indicating that The Idol will probably average several million viewers, at least for the first episode.
That being said, the series starring Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp didn’t quite match premiere viewership for Levinson’s first HBO hit, Euphoria. That series took home 1.1 million viewers on its premiere night in 2019, with a bit of a lead-in from a Season 2 episode of Big Little Lies.

The final trailer for The Idol offers up a somewhat different angle on the HBO series.
The clip, coming six days before the show’s June 4 debut — and after frosty reviews (including one from The Hollywood Reporter) after screening at the Cannes Film Festival — slightly tones down the in-your-face provocation of two earlier teasers, one of which said The Idol comes “from the gutters of Hollywood.”
The new trailer instead foregrounds pop star Jocelyn’s (Lily-Rose Depp) attempts to re-establish herself at the top of the charts after a nervous breakdown on her last tour. She’s guided — or maybe brainwashed? — by Tedros (Tesfaye), a Hollywood club owner who takes both a professional and personal interest in Jocelyn.
The five-episode drama, co-created by Euphoria’s Sam Levinson, Tesfaye and Reza Fahim, went through a creative overhaul partway through filming that saw a number of cast changes and the departure of original director Amy Siemetz.
