HBO has confirmed that the highly anticipated new seasons of The Last Of Us, Euphoria and more will premiere only sometime in 2025.This past weekend, Max confirmed the release windows for several of its biggest shows in its ‘One To Watch’ trailer, which showcases new originals, returning series, and more on its upcoming streaming slate.While they don’t have confirmed release dates just yet, The Last Of Us, Euphoria and The White Lotus are among the biggest titles headlining HBO’s 2025 slate. Showcased towards the end of the trailer, these titles are also joined by upcoming seasons of the Sex And The City spin-off And Just Like That… and an It spin-off, Welcome To Derry.The release window for The Last Of Us season two comes after its show runner Craig Mazin revealed in an interview earlier this month (December 1) that production on the anticipated follow-up will begin in February next year.The new season of Euphoria had already been on hold for some time as show creator Sam Levinson worked on The Idol. HBO Head of Drama Francesca Orsi told Deadline in May that Levinson’s work on that plus Zendaya’s packed schedule and the recently concluded actors and writers’ strike would likely push back the premiere to 2025.In July, Euphoria star Angus Cloud died of an accidental drug overdose, which could potentially push back the series’ premiere if his character is being written out.In November, The White Lotus creator Mike White revealed that he hopes to begin work on its third season early next year, teasing it will be “bigger” in scope.“It’s going to be supersized White Lotus,” he added.

Olivia Rodrigo on why she’ll never watch ‘The Idol’

Olivia Rodrigo has spoken about why she’ll never watch The Idol.The pop star said in a new interview that she has no interest in watching the HBO show because she regards it as anti-feminist.“I don’t have the desire to [watch it],” Rodrigo told The Guardian. “I remember walking out of Barbie and being like, ‘Wow, it’s so long since I’ve seen a movie that is female-centred in a way that isn’t sexual or about her pain or her being traumatised.’”The Idol, which stars Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye), was originally pitched as a satire about the music industry that follows Depp’s pop star Jocelyn as she frees herself from a toxic relationship with Tesfaye’s club owner/cult leader Tedros.But when Euphoria creator Sam Levinson took over after the exit of director Amy Seimetz, he reportedly turned Seimetz’ vision on its head, stuffing the season with a large number of sex scenes and providing little commentary on its original themes.“The Idol was one of HBO’s most provocative original programs, and we’re pleased by the strong audience response,” HBO said when it announced the series’ cancellation last month.“After much thought and consideration, HBO, as well as the creators and producers have decided not to move forward with a second season.
