Filming finally got underway last week on the much-delayed third season of HBO’s hit drama Euphoria, headlined by two-time Emmy winner Zendaya. And while fans will still have to wait about a year for the new episodes,

HBO EVP and Head of Drama Francesca Orsi shared that there have been discussions about ending Euphoria with the upcoming third season.

However, the darkened frame looks like just about any other shot from any other season of Euphoria, so it’s not the most convincing image in terms of proof of life. Since the second season aired, the word has been that the next installment will feature a time jump that takes the characters out of Euphoria High.

We may have photographic proof that Zendaya is back on set, but the majority of the Euphoria cast is also expected to return to HBO (and streaming with a Max subscription) for the third season. That includes Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Colman Domingo, Eric Dane and more.

HBO says production has begun on the drama series and shared a first photo from the season, with Zendaya’s Rue looking over her shoulder in a dimly lit room. HBO also shared the photo on its social channels, with the brief message “ Euphoria season 3 is in production.”

After nearly three years of waiting, Euphoria fans finally get their first glimpse at Season 3, but will it be the same without a beloved cast member

The start of the production comes almost three years after "Euphora's" second season premiered. The delays were allegedly caused by numerous issues, including a toxic workplace.
