Sky New Zealand acquires TV channel Three for NZ$1 in media shakeup
WELLINGTON: Sky New Zealand has announced the acquisition of television network Three for a symbolic NZ$1, marking a major shift in the country's media landscape. The deal, set to finalise on August 1, comes as the industry faces ongoing financial pressures. Three, New Zealand's first privately owned free-to-air channel, is currently owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. Michael Brooks, Discovery's Australia and New Zealand managing director, confirmed the sale, stating the channel was no longer 'commercially viable' as a standalone business. 'The continued challenges faced by the New Zealand media industry are well documented,' Brooks said. He described the sale as a 'fantastic outcome' following a major restructuring in 2024. Sky New Zealand CEO Sophie Moloney called the purchase a 'compelling opportunity' that aligns with the company's goal to become New Zealand's 'most engaging and essential media company'. The deal excludes any connection to the UK-based Sky Group under Comcast. Three had already undergone significant downsizing, cutting 300 jobs and discontinuing its flagship 6 pm news bulletin, Newshub, in July 2024. The news segment was later outsourced to digital platform Stuff. - AFP

When is Euphoria season 3 releasing? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 21, 2025, 20:20 IST Last updated July 21, 2025, 20:21 IST Alright, Euphoria fans, let's talk about the elephant in the room: we've been waiting FOREVER for Season 3, and the anticipation is killing us. Since that jaw-dropping Season 2 finale back in February 2022, we've been refreshing our feeds, hoping for any crumb of news about Rue, Jules, and the rest of the East Highland crew. So, when is Euphoria Season 3 finally hitting our screens? What's the vibe going to be? And who's even coming back? Here's everything we know so far. When Is Euphoria Season 3 Coming Out? Drumroll, please… Euphoria Season 3 is officially in the works, with cameras rolling in Los Angeles as of February 10, 2025. But—and I hate to be the bearer of bad news—you're gonna need to chill until 2026 to watch it. Yep, you heard that right. According to JB Perrette, the big boss of Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming division, we're looking at a 2026 premiere. No specific date yet, so don't hold your breath for a trailer dropping this week or anything. Why the long wait? Well, it's been a wild ride. The 2023 Hollywood strikes threw a wrench in things, slowing down writing and filming. Plus, the cast is basically a lineup of A-listers now—Zendaya's out here starring in blockbusters, Sydney Sweeney's booking every role in Hollywood, and Jacob Elordi's, well, being Jacob Elordi. Scheduling them all is probably like herding cats. Oh, and let's not forget the heartbreaking loss of Angus Cloud (our beloved Fez) in July 2023, which shook everyone up. On top of that, Sam Levinson, the show's mastermind, is a perfectionist who takes his sweet time crafting each episode. Colman Domingo, aka Ali, spilled that it takes about a month to shoot just one episode because Levinson's so meticulous. So, yeah, 2026 it is. Who is Coming Back in Euphoria Season 3? The good news? Most of the OGs are returning. HBO confirmed the 'principal cast' is back, so you can expect to see: Zendaya as Rue, obviously, because there's no Euphoria without her. Hunter Schafer as Jules, hopefully giving us more of that emotional depth. Jacob Elordi as Nate, still probably stirring up trouble. Sydney Sweeney as Cassie, ready for more unhinged moments. Alexa Demie as Maddy, serving looks and attitude. Maude Apatow as Lexi, the queen of subtle shade. Eric Dane as Cal Jacobs, who's got some serious explaining to do. Colman Domingo as Ali, popping in as a guest star to drop wisdom. What to expect in Euphoria Season 3? Okay, let's get into the juicy stuff. Season 3 is shaking things up with a five-year time jump. That's right—no more high school drama. Our faves are all grown up, navigating their messy 20s. Zendaya teased this back in 2022, saying she was stoked to see where Rue and the gang end up post-graduation. Costume designer Heidi Bivens also confirmed the time jump, so expect some fire new looks (because Euphoria fashion never misses). Sam Levinson's calling Season 3 a 'film noir' vibe, which sounds super dark and moody—think Rue brooding in a trench coat or something. The focus is on Rue grappling with what it means to stick to her principles in a messed-up world. After everything she went through in Season 2 (that intervention scene still gives me chills), we are rooting for her to find some peace. Zendaya, who's not just starring but also executive producing, hinted she wants a bit of 'happiness and joy' for Rue. Fingers crossed, because our girl deserves a break.
