Sam Levinson is finally giving Euphoria fans what they want.

Dedicated viewers of the HBO Max drama have patiently endured the last year and a half without as much as a hint about its anticipated third season. Fortunately, showrunner Levinson made an appearance in Elles recent cover story about lead actor Zendaya and finally dished.

Audiences last saw Zendayas character, Rue, in the Season 2 finale in February 2022 and watched her loved ones stage a drug intervention. While a voiceover confirmed she stayed sober for the rest of the school year, Levinson teased more upcoming hardships.

The showrunner told Elle he plans on turning the next season into a film noir that uses Rue as a vehicle to explore what it means to be an individual with principles in a corrupt world. Further details remain sparse, though Zendaya previously teased what to expect.

I would like to explore Rues sobriety and that journey for her and what that looks like, she told Extra in April 2022 . What the ups and downs of that journey for her might look like. We see her in the midst of it. It would be nice to see her close to the other side.

Levinson praised the Emmy and Golden Globe winner for always creatively pushing herself. He told Elle: Shes the most competitive person I know, in a good way. Shes constantly growing as an artist and always seeking a challenge. Shes never complacent.
