Euphoria Season 3: New Photos Of Zendaya & Co., Plus Everything We Know So Far

School's out forever for the "Euphoria" kids, who nevertheless will be back on our screens in April. 

Season 3 of the HBO drama will consist of eight episodes, just like its previous two runs. Snippets of new footage released by the network in December give us glimpses of Rue and her friends in their post-high school (and potentially post-college) lives. Series creator Sam Levinson has said that the new season will find Cassie and Nate engaged and living in the suburbs, with Cassie obsessed with social media and how her life compares to those of her high school pals.

We get it: We're obsessed with what's happened to these characters since the Season 2 finale aired in February 2022. So consider the information below to be your handy guide to all things "Euphoria." We'll keep you up to date on castings, photos, trailers — all the good stuff. And we'll update the list as new information becomes available, to make sure that you have the latest and best intel possible. What are you waiting for — get scrolling now!

At the end of Season 2, Rue was once again clean from drugs and looking to rekindle her friendship with Lexi; Ashtray was killed during an encounter with the police at Fezco's home; Nate turned in his dad Cal; and Cassie and Maddy continued to deal with the remains of their friendship. (Read a full finale recap here.)

Production on Season 3 is finished. On Feb. 10, the series released its first photo from the set of Season 3 (above). As for what's on the pensive Rue's mind? That will remain a mystery for now.

While HBO has not yet released a full cast roster for the upcoming season, the network confirmed in July that the "principal cast" — which includes, in part, Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Maude Apatow and Alexa Demie — will be back for Season 3. Then, in November, HBO boss Casey Bloys confirmed that "everybody is expected to come back."

Additionally, in a July 2024 episode of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live!, Colman Domingo confirmed that he would be back to play Rue's sponsor, Ali, in the upcoming season.

HBO has confirmed other returnees from previous seasons, including Dominic FIke as Elliot, Nika King as Rue's mother Leslie and Alanna Ubach as Cassie's mom Suze, along with Zak Steiner, Daeg Faerch, Melvin Bonez Estes, Paula Marshall and Sophia Rose Wilson.

In November 2024, Zendaya told Vanity Fair that she hadn't read any Season 3 scripts yet, but "My most important thing is to do justice by the people who love and care about Rue, and make sure that she's looked after as a character. I think that's my Number 1 duty."

Later, in an October 2025 interview with Variety, Elordi said that in Season 3, "I got to play something so sort of far out from what I've done before."  (To jog your memory:"Euphoria" Season 2 ended with Nate holding a gun on his father, Cal, as he told him that he'd discovered Cal's trove of underage sex videos years before. By the time the hour was done, Nate had called the police on his father and was threatening to hand over a flash drive full of incriminating evidence. Read a full recap here.)

Elordi also said that he only shot Nate's storyline and hadn't been privy to what his co-stars were filming: "So it's great, because I'll get to consume the show the same way that everybody else does as a fan, which I haven't been able to do before. I'm really excited."

Season 3's new faces include Asante Blackk ("This Is Us") as a character named Kidd, Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct), Kadeem Hardison ("A Different World"), Spanish pop star Rosalía, former NFL star Marshawn Lynch, Anna Van Patten ("Gossip Girl"), Darrell Britt-Gibson ("Barry"), James Landry Hébert ("1883") and Priscilla Delgado ("A League of Their Own").

Joining them in Season 3 will be Danielle Deadwyler ("Till"), Natasha Lyonne ("Poker Face"), Sam Trammell ("True Blood), YouTuber Trisha Paytas, Kwame Patterson ("The Wire") and film director Eli Roth, along with Bella Podaras, Bill Bodner, Cailyn Rice, Colleen Camp, Gideon Adlon, Hemky Madera, Homer Gere, Jack Topalian, Jessica Blair Herman, Madison Thompson and Matthew Willig. You can get a first look at Deadwyler in the new season here.

In addition, composer Hans Zimmer ("The Simpsons," "Gladiator") has joined Season 3, which he will score alongside returning series composer Labrinth.

The HBO drama's cast has sustained some losses since the Season 2 finale aired. Tragically, Angus Cloud, who played Fez, died in July 2023 of an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine. Former series regular Barbie Ferreira also will not return; she announced her departure from the role of Kat in August 2022. We also don't expect to see Javon Walton, who played Ashtray, to appear in Season 3; his character died during a shootout with police in the Season 2 finale. And finally, Storm Reid, who played Rue's younger sister Gia for two seasons, confirmed in November that she won't be back for Season 3.

Season 3 will premiere in April.

"Euphoria" is available to stream on Max (with subscription), Amazon Premium and Hulu (with premium subscriptions) and on Apple TV+ (for purchase).

A trailer for Season 3 of "Euphoria" doesn't exist yet. But as soon as it does, we'll post it here. In the meantime, check out HBO's 2026 sizzle reel, which features some new footage from the coming season.
