Euphoria Creator Sam Levinson Rules Out Season 4 and Reflects on Losing Angus Cloud
'Euphoria' creator Sam Levinson says he has 'no plans' to make Season 4.
Sam Levinson, the creator behind HBO's hit drama Euphoria, has confirmed he currently has no plans to produce a fourth season of the critically acclaimed series, casting fresh doubt on the show's long-term future.
In a candid interview, Levinson opened up about the emotional weight of continuing the series following the death of star Angus Cloud, who played the beloved character Fezco. Cloud passed away in July 2023 at the age of 25, and his absence has had a profound impact on both the cast and the creative direction of the show.
Levinson described the loss of Cloud as deeply personal, saying the young actor brought an irreplaceable authenticity to the role that could never be replicated. The creator made clear that any future storytelling would need to reckon honestly with that void.
The Euphoria showrunner also shed light on his experience directing Eric Dane, who plays the menacing Cal Jacobs on the show. Levinson praised Dane's commitment to the role, describing their collaboration as intense and rewarding, with the actor consistently pushing boundaries to serve the story.
Season 3 of Euphoria has faced a turbulent road, with production delays and public tensions between Levinson and some cast members making headlines. Despite the uncertainty, HBO has remained publicly supportive of the project, though no firm premiere date has been announced.
For now, Levinson's comments suggest that the creative team is focused entirely on completing Season 3 rather than mapping out any further continuation of the series. Fans will be watching closely for any updates as production moves forward.
