Euphoria Season 3 Visually "Incredible": Jacob Elordi on Series Return
Jacob Elordi discussed returning to film HBO and Sam Levinson's Euphoria Season 3 and the unique approach to filming that Levinson is taking.
With the third season of HBO and Sam Levinson's Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, and Sydney Sweeney-starring Euphoria set to hit screens, we're getting a chance to hear from another very familiar face from the cast about what the return has been like and what viewers can expect. Speaking with Variety in support of his upcoming Netflix film Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi noted that being "pretty busy" was a big reason why it took so long to get everyone back together. "But I will say it's really nice to be back. It's been eight years or something since I started. It's just lovely to see all these people that you've grown up with. It's the same crew, the same cast," he added. "Visually, what I'm seeing is incredible," Elordi continued, noting that Levinson is shooting Season 3 with 65mm film. "It looks really good." In terms of whether or not other characters will be part of the series' upcoming time jump, Elordi added, "I don't really know what anyone else is doing. It's all quite separate."
