Everything to Know About Season 3 of 'Euphoria': From Returning and New Cast Members to Release Date and More

Euphoria will return for a third season after the second one ended in 2022.

In the last episode of Season 2, Jacob Elordi's character, Nate Jacobs, calls the police on his father, Cal Jacobs (Eric Dane) and informs them he has a USB containing footage of the patriarch's sexual relationships. Meanwhile, Zendaya's Rue Bennett and Hunter Schafer's Jules Vaughn patch things up.

On the other hand, Sydney Sweeney's Cassie Howard and Alexa Demie's Maddy Perez fight at school.

Colman Domingo, who plays the role of Ali Muhammad, revealed Euphoria Season 3 would have "big swings."

"Sam Levinson and I had some really deep conversations as of last weekend actually," he told Deadline. "Here he's talking about the arcs of all the characters and what he wants to do to expand that, to actually re-examine at times."

Domingo continued, "He's someone who, once there's an expectation of the show, he wants to smash that expectation because he truly is a consummate artist and he wants to make sure he's telling some really compelling storytelling."

Euphoria's costume designer Heidi Bivens hinted that Season 3 might be set "approximately five years in the future."

In July 2024, Euphoria's official Instagram page released its first-ever preview for its third season. The post featured a photo of Zendaya alongside a confirmation about the series' production.

"Euphoria Season 3 will go into production in January 2025. @hbo @streamonmax," the caption read.

The page confirmed the next installment was already in production by February.

More original cast members are set to return on Euphoria Season 3, including Maude Apatow, Storm Reid, Algee Smith, Nika King, Melvin Bonez Estes, Daeg Faerch, Dominic Fike, Paula Marshall, Zak Steiner, Alanna Ubach and Sophia Rose Wilson.

Barbie Ferreira, who portrayed Kat Hernandez in Seasons 1 and 2, revealed she will not reprise her role in the next installment. The cast also lost Angus Cloud, who played Fezco, following his death in July 2023 at the age of 25.

In February, Euphoria announced the new cast members for its third season: Rosalía, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Toby Wallace, Marshawn Lynch, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Kadeem Hardison, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert and Anna Van Patten.

"If there's anything that excites me as much as creating a good melody or writing a great lyric it's becoming a better performer every day," the "DESPECHÁ" hitmaker said after the casting. "Euphoria has been my favorite series over the last few years and I couldn't be happier and more grateful to be acting alongside all of these incredibly talented people that I admire so much and contributing my 'granito de arena' to bring Sam's vision to reality to make magic. I can't wait to share what we're doing!!! Besitos, Rosi."

Sharon Stone also joined the cast of Euphoria Season 3 that same month.

"There is little more exciting than going to work with this team of thrilling talent," said Stone. "From the genius of Sam Levinson to the raw sophistication of this profoundly moving cast and tight crew. I am honored to be Euphoric."

Then, in October, Euphoria released another list naming additional cast members, confirming appearances by Gideon Adlon, Bill Bodner, Colleen Camp, Danielle Deadwyler, Homer Gere, Jessica Blair Herman, Natasha Lyonne, Hemky Madera, Kwame Patterson, Trisha Paytas, Rebecca Pidgeon, Bella Podaras, Cailyn Rice, Eli Roth, Madison Thompson, Jack Topalian, Sam Trammell and Matthew Willig.

Though fans initially speculated Season 3 would release this year, the team had to make adjustments after the series' schedule was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and strikes.

Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO programming and head of HBO drama series and films, gave fans an update about Euphoria Season 3 via a press release.

"I am thrilled that we are ready to begin production on Euphoria in January [2025]," said Orsi. "We could not be happier with our creative partnership with [creator] Sam and this incredible cast. We look forward to bringing this new season of Euphoria to life for the fans."

Euphoria Season 3 will premiere in spring 2026.
