It’s been some time since Euphoria aired its second season, but fans will have to wait a little longer to join Rue (Zendaya) and crew back at HBO as Season 3’s arrival looms in the somewhat distant future.
As we await the third chapter of Sam Levinson‘s teen drama, we’re breaking down everything we know so far below.
When Will Euphoria Season 3 Film?
According to Variety, HBO & Max’s Chairman and CEO Casey Bloys confirmed during a presentation in November 2024 that Euphoria Season 3 is set to begin filming in the new year. “We are shooting… I think we have a start date, mid to late January. Nothing’s changed,” Bloys reassured reporters, noting that Euphoria is still on the way despite conflicting rumors about it meeting an early end. “I have read the scripts. We’re happy. We’re moving ahead,” Bloys added.
When Will Euphoria Season 3 Premiere?
Considering Bloys’ latest update about filming in early 2025, only time will tell how soon episodes can be turned around and presented to audiences. Bloys did confirm that Season 3 will include eight all-new episodes, but we wouldn’t anticipate the third season arriving before 2026 at this point. Stay tuned for official updates once available.

Will Season 3 Be Euphoria‘s Last?
In an interview with Variety in January 2024, Bloys said, “Obviously, the cast have all become stars, which you love to see — and Zendaya is obviously a big movie star… So, there is a practical reality to that.” But, according to Bloys, it really depends upon Levinson, who is at the helm as the show’s creator, writer, and director. “He’s in the thick of writing Season 3 right now, and we’ll leave it up to him and have those conversations about what he wants to do,” he added.
Who Will Return for Euphoria Season 3?
No official casting news has been announced at this time, but Bloys confirmed in June 2024 via Variety, “It’s the same core cast,” when questioned about whether Zendaya would return as Rue alongside Hunter Schafer‘s Jules, Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie, and Jacob Elordi‘s Nate. It’s unclear if other stars are among the core Bloys refers to, but we’d like to see the return of Maude Apatow as Lexi, Alexa Demie as Maddy, Austin Abrams as Ethan, and Storm Reid as Gia among others.
Former star Barbie Ferreira, who played Kat, announced she wouldn’t return for Season 3 in August of 2022, and Angus Cloud, who played loveable drug dealer Fezco, died in 2023, confirming his absence from the season.

What Will Season 3 of Euphoria Be About?
It’s unclear what the storyline will be for Euphoria’s third season, but considering it’s been more than two years since Season 2 debuted, the aforementioned time jump feels like a necessary story device to explain the actors’ aging in real-time. Additionally, the show will likely have to explain Cloud’s absence as viewers last saw him being detained as his baby brother figure Ashtray (Javon “Wanna” Walton) was seemingly shot by authorities. Only time will tell which direction the team behind this series chooses to take.
