Not everybody is so persuaded that there’s more Bliss in shop. While HBO launched a declaration today declaring that the network is devoted to producing a 3rd installation of Sam Levinson‘s struck teenager dramaa minimum of one cast member has their doubts. According to the Daily Beasta star on the program informed the outlet that they do not think a 3rd season is actually in the cards: “I simply do not believe it will take place.”
The cast member, who wanted to stay confidential, supposedly exchanged direct messages with the Daily Beast and explained their disappointment with the extended wait in between season 2 of Ecstasy, which premiered over 2 years earlier, and the still-unscheduled season 3.
“Since January of 2022, we have had a start date of March that became June, that developed into January,” stated the confidential star. “And then they kept pressing each month after that. It was 2 complete years of HBO talking the stars we were returning quickly, so we could not take some tasks.”
Previously today, HBO validated that production on Bliss season 3 had actually been postponed which the buzzy cast would be complimentary to pursue other jobs in the interim. This was probably music to the ears of the extremely sought-after cast, which, in addition to Zendaya, consists of Anybody however You‘s Sydney Sweeney, Saltburn‘s Jacob Elordi, The Ballad of Songbirds & & Snakes Hunter Schafer, and current Rustin Oscar candidate Colman DomingoWhile the liberty to pursue other tasks should be good for the more prominent members of the Bliss cast, the confidential cast member has more complex sensations about this current turn of occasions.
“Before recently I could not take any television tasks,” they composed. “Since they have actually put it on hiatus, I can now take any task. What draws is that we all had more momentum right when the program came out however now it’s been 2 years of waiting.”
Ecstasy has actually suffered unanticipated and disastrous obstacles given that completion of season 2. Last summer season, Angus Cloud, who memorably played softhearted drug dealership Fezco on the series, passed away of an unexpected drug overdose at the age of 25Months later on, Bliss manufacturer Kevin Turen all of a sudden died at 44. Per the Daily Beast, the confidential star insinuated that Turen “was the driving force behind the program’s momentum.”
Making complex things even further, if Bliss does not return by 2025, the primary cast members– consisting of Zendaya, Sweeney, and Elordi– will be launched from their agreements and able to renegotiate incomes– possibly requiring a much larger payday. Per Rangethe season 3 scripts are “still being composed,” which likewise does not bode well for a 2025 release. All of these elements supposedly led the confidential star to inform the Daily Beast that they do not think the series will ever return. “Because I’m a star I will constantly be thrilled about any acting work so yes I am anticipating returning,” composed the confidential star. “I simply do not believe it will occur.”
There’s one individual who does not appear anxious about the fate of Bliss: Sam Levinson. “HBO has actually addressed all those speculative concerns and guaranteed everybody of a 3rd season as initially prepared in 2025,” stated Levinson’s group in a declaration to the Daily Beast. If you’re still in line for season 3 of Ecstasy, remain in line.
