Listen, I\u2019ve been working so long. The role of Ali was created for me. And I\u2019ve been given the most complex arc that I\u2019ve ever been given on any television show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before speaking with Domingo, <em>Vanity Fair<\/em> reported earlier this year that the delays on <em>Euphoria<\/em>\u2018s third season had created issues behind the scenes. The hit HBO show, which premiered in 2019, originally followed troubled high school student Rue (Zendaya) as she struggled to remain sober after rehab.<\/p>\n<p>Euphoria was quickly renewed for a second season after its premiere, but it took nearly three years for the episodes to air. Season 3 was originally set to air on HBO in 2025 before facing several obstacles, including Levinson\u2019s commitment to his short-lived series The Idol. The dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which took place in late 2023, prolonged the delay.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Season 3 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/pictures\/euphoria-cast-see-the-hulu-shows-stars-then-and-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ultimately premiered over the summer<\/a> after the cast went through a loss when <strong>Angus Cloud<\/strong> died at age 25 in July 2023 following an accidental overdose.

There were obvious factors \u2014 the strikes, trying to make a schedule work with our very in-demand cast, but the real time was in trying to figure out how to find a way to pay respect to those who we lost,\u201d Levinson, 41, said at the premiere in April.<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cWhen Angus died, it was tough. I loved him deeply, and I fought hard to keep him clean. The year he died, in 2023, he was one of 73,000 people in America who died of a fentanyl overdose. I learned a whole lot that year, but what I realized more than anything is that death is what gives life meaning. You can\u2019t be arrogant about existence. You\u2019re forced to reckon with the fact that life itself is a wonder, a gift, a profound blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/colman-domingo-questions-complaints-about-toxic-euphoria-set\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colman Domingo revealed he questions the validity of complaints about the environment on Euphoria.
