HBO has shared a sneak peek image to confirm the news about the return of Euphoria Season 3. The teen drama recently began filming after facing long delays due to several factors, including the Hollywood strikes, busy schedules of the cast and creator Sam Levinson’s work on other series.
After a “deeply emotional” second season, as described by Zendaya, a first-look image from the upcoming continuation has been shared on Instagram. The post features Zendaya as the main character Rue Bennett.

The show will keep the majority of the core cast of famous faces, including Sydney Sweeney as Cassie, Jacob Elordi as Nate, Hunter Schafer as Jules and Alexa Demie as Maddy. Unfortunately, Storm Reid’s character, Gia – Rue’s younger sister- won’t be joining the series this time, and neither will Barbie Ferreira’s character Kat.
Regarding the plot, the new season will feature a time jump, with the teenage characters that fans have come to love no longer attending high school. This new approach is one of the reasons why creator Levinson was still “working on it”, as Case Bloys, content boss for HBO and Max, said in an interview with Variety.
“There’s been a lot of back and forth… One of the issues I think that Sam is thinking about is that he doesn’t want to have it in high school anymore. That’s where it was set and what made sense then. So when you take it out of that, there’s a lot of back and forth about where to set it and how far in the future to set it and all that stuff,” he added.
HBO has not announced a premiere date for Euphoria Season 3 yet. Nevertheless, despite speculation over whether the third season was ever going to happen given the deep differences in creative visions, rumours of Zendaya’s frosty relationship with Levinson, and even the supposed possibility of removing Levinson from the production, the cameras seem to have started rolling.
No further details have been unveiled, with HBO keeping Euphoria‘s fans on the edge of their seats, waiting for the latest news to ensure they don’t miss a thing.
