I don't think I have ever seen this happen in television history, I'm aware of 2 part episodes getting cut into one episode and vice versa, but never a whole episode seemingly getting cut this late into production

and for anyone wondering, the episode length is allegedly only 66 minutes long, so they have not combined the episodes

another unprecedented record for the weeknd to add to his collection!

You won't see Cash posting this on his story!

definitely thread worthy and not just another ploy to keep the hate train on this show going
interesting

Damn that’s kinda wild

The only good thing to come out of The Idol was that @therealmikedean cameo

not just a cameo he’s playing a pivotal role!

hbo:

it’s also hilarious how they pulled the classic “it was always supposed to be one season!” after the negative reviews came out

never a whole episode seemingly getting cut this late into production

@op this not that true btw when the show started airing it was 5 episodes that were lined up

it’s not like they cut the episode out due to social media backlash

to be honest i made this thread cus i do find it interesting

there definitely was a 6th episode planned and was only cut very recently

They took Tedros Comes from us

That small ass gif is on purpose to show how small I feel without new Weeknd acting lowlights on Twitter

ur right i just found a tweet i made that backs this up

Did they ever give a reason why it was cut short?

It was definitely 6 episodes lined up when I checked before.

There's no way this wraps up well.

not that i have seen no

"The season ended up being five episodes when it was all said and done after Sam Levinson took over and made significant changes. The story only ended up requiring 5."

Yeah,

But id like to see something he exclusively directs before really judging his skills as a filmmaker. Alot of this is trash levinsons fault

im taking a break from listening to the weeknd for a year just to punish his dumbass

also next season of euphoria bout to be some garbage, who surprised? NOT ME

a trainwreck

Lmao HBO cutting their loses

I'm pretty sure shows have been cancelled mid season 1 before and just didn't air the rest of it, but this happening in the streaming era with the star power this show has is absolutely insane

Whatever it was people we're talking about it so is it really a loss

you mean we gotta wait till 2025 for euphoria?
