You’d better stock up on more glitter eye shadow, because Euphoria season 3 is still in the works. And thank God, because the season 2 finale left a lot of questions unanswered.
“[Creator Sam Levinson], Zendaya, and the entire cast and crew of Euphoria have taken season 2 to extraordinary heights, challenging narrative convention and form, while maintaining its heart,” executive vice president of HBO programming Francesca Orsi said in a statement in February 2022. “We couldn’t be more honored to work with this gifted, wildly talented team or more excited to continue our journey with them into season three.”
While the renewal did not come as a surprise, following a series of controversies, Angus Cloud’s tragic death in July 2023, and the SAG-AFTRA strike, it was unclear how and when the series would regroup.
Here’s everything we know about Euphoria season 3.
When does Euphoria season 3 air?
On November 2, 2023, HBO announced the third season has been slated for 2025.
But filming has been delayed.
On March 25, 2024, HBO confirmed that season three is still in the works despite recent rumors that the series had been canceled.
“HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” an HBO spokesperson told Variety at the time. “In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.”
According to Deadline, Levinson was “still working on scripts” in early 2024.
On November 12, Casey Bloys, Chairman & CEO of HBO & Max Content, confirmed that filming for season 3 would begin in mid to late January 2025.
“Nothing’s changed. Somebody said something online, and then this whole thing started. We are shooting the season. I have read the scripts,” he told journalists. “We’re happy. We’re moving ahead. All of the actors.” Bloys thinks that season 3 will include eight episodes.
What cast will be returning for Euphoria season 3?
In June 2024, Casey Bloys told Variety that Levinson was still “busy writing,” noting the “same core cast” will remain the central focus of the season 3 plot.
When asked in November 2024 if all of the Euphoria actors were expected to return for the third season, Bloys acknowledged that scheduling was a “puzzle” given that most of the original actors had become movie stars since the show premiered in 2019. “It does require a lot of creative scheduling, but yes, everybody is scheduled to come back,” he said. (Though he didn’t list them out by name, it’s probably safe to say that Bloys was referring to Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Jacob Elordi as the actors who will return for season 3.)
