Here's Everything We Know About Season 3 of 'Euphoria'
From new cast to Rue’s new… lover?
Fans have been waiting for Season 3 of Euphoria for so long that many gave up caring. That was until first looks at the new season began to trend on social media. Now, it appears the show’s creator Sam Levinson isn’t letting his failed series, The Idol, deter the hype.
In February of 2022, it was reported that production for Season 3 of Euphoria would begin in 2023, which meant the new season was slated to premiere in 2024. Its now 2025 and fans are just now receiving a first look.
Despite claiming they wouldn’t care if the series returned (as characters began aging out of the storyline), Levinson has pulled his go-to trick to get people to care: strip clubs and Rue’s not-so-great decision-making.

In one first look, Alexa Demie, who plays Maddie, is seen outside of a strip club in a fur coat and “I mean business” updo. Elsewhere, she’s seen in a classic car with an older man. Another sneak peek, Rue (played by Zendaya) is featured arguing — or shall we say, getting yelled at — by a woman.
Zendaya is back as Rue Bennett, one of her most iconic roles, as she was spotted on set fully in character, sitting in a field next to her co-star, Priscilla Delgado.

As of March 7, Deadline confirms Euphoria Season 3 casting — with a surprise. “Coming back for Season 3, which will feature a time jump, are original Euphoria cast members Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie and Maude Apatow as series regulars. Colman Domingo returns as a guest star. New additions also include Toby Wallace as series regular and guest stars Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, Kadeem Hardison, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert and Anna Van Patten.”
In 2022, HBO Drama Chief Francesca Ors told Variety shared: Euphoria is one of those that we had begun writing in tandem with post-production on Idol but at this point, we don’t have countless scripts. We can’t start shooting, so the delivery of that show — ideally in 2025 — will be determined on when we can pick back up with Sam [Levinson], who at this point is all pencils down and just finishing posts on Idol.”
Of the show’s renewal, Francesca Orsi, Executive VP of HBO Programming, said in a statement: “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. 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 3.”
