Euphoria Season 3’s Time Jump Can Avoid Older Actors Playing Teenagers
The increasing ages of the actors make it impossible for them to play convincing high schoolers
The time jump inEuphoriaseason 3 is expected to be around five years, which will ultimately make the show more believable than retaining the high school setting.
The anticipated time jump inEuphoriahas always been inevitable considering the increasing gap between the ages of its characters and lead cast members.The main cast will mostly be in their late twenties by the timeEuphoriaseason 3 ends up filming. Of course, this depends on when production finally starts, but all the key actors will be around three or four years older than when season 2 was filmed. The time jump inEuphoriaseason 3 is expected to be around five years, which will ultimately make the show more believable than retaining the high school setting.
IfEuphoria’sproduction timeline had been as fine-tuned and efficient as other series such as FX’sThe Bear, which has churned out two (hopefully three) outstanding seasons within three years, then Levinson and HBO could have avoided this issue altogether. While makingEuphoriaseason 3 seems somewhat unnecessary and regressive, it will at least beinteresting to see how the characters develop into the early stages of adulthood, which based on their track records, likely won’t be ordinary or seamless. The time jump might also present a more plausible narrative reason to explain the absence of Fezco.
