Nika added: ‘You’re laughing and I mean it. I haven’t booked anything since Euphoria.
This is a bullshit. “I thought my career was on the rise after Euphoria, I thought it was good,” she said.
‘It doesn’t work that way. I called Taraji (P. Henson) and she was like, “Bitch, get used to it,” she said in the clip she uploaded to your tiktok.
The third season of Euphoria has been in production on and off due to the SAG and WGA strikes, as well as the busy careers of Nika’s co-stars Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and Colman Domingo.
The next season will hit Max in 2025, which would be a two-year break from the end of the second season, which is the same amount of time between the first and second seasons.
Despite her jokes about Zendaya’s busy career delaying production, Nika has nothing but praise for her on-screen daughter.
“Acting with Zendaya and Storm Reid is like a master class,” said King Us weekly in 2022.
“They’re young and they bring their A-game, and I’m like, ‘Okay!’ “I’m older, a little bit, a little bit older, but every day on set is another day to be amazing, to be great.”

The second season of the popular series aired its last episode in February 2022. The next season will arrive on Max in 2025.
The show’s creator, writer and director, Sam Levinson, was busy much of 2022 filming his critically panned and quickly canceled one-season series, The Idol, starring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp.
It wasn’t until January of this year that HBO and Max Content CEO Casey Bloys confirmed to Deadline that Levinson had begun writing the scripts for the third season of Euphoria.
Bloys also explained to Variety that the new stardom of some members of the Euphoria cast had made aligning schedules even more difficult.
They attempted to plan a start date for the third season, particularly after Sydney Sweeney starred in and produced the hit romantic comedy Everyone But You and Jacob Elordi starred in the acclaimed thriller Saltburn.
