Euphoria Season 3: Release Date, Cast, Story, and Everything we know

HBO’s hit teen drama starring Zendaya wrapped up Season 2 in February 2022, and one year later, Euphoria Season 3 news is trickling in.

The intense series has seen troubled teenager Rue Bennett battling drug addiction and mental health issues while juggling her chaotic life of love and loss. The show has also been following the tumultuous lives of other teenagers in East Highland, all suffering their fair share of problems in their private lives.

The series has highlighted various issues, from abuse to addiction. Still, as we witness the messy lives of the teens unravel on-screen, viewers look forward to seeing the next chapter of their stories return and getting the answers they so desperately need.

Attention fans! Euphoria Season 3 is coming as the award-winning hit teen drama has been renewed. Yes, you heard that right. We are getting a Season 3, which might arrive earlier than expected.

After the massive increase in viewership that season 2 experienced, Euphoria Season 3 has officially been renewed at HBO, as was announced via Instagram.

Let’s get into more details.

When is Euphoria Season 3 releasing?

The Euphoria Instagram page officially announced that Euphoria had been renewed for season 3. However, no news has been on when season 3 will be released. 

Season 1 aired in June 2019, followed by two special episodes in January 2021.  Euphoria Season 2 finally arrived in January 2022 after being delayed by Covid restrictions. So, hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long for Season 3 to hit our screens.

Euphoria Season 3 Cast and Crew

The Executive Vice President of HBO programming, Francesca Orsi, has made an official statement regarding season 3: “Sam, Zendaya, and the entire cast and crew of Euphoria have taken season two 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 three.”

So, it looks like our favorites will be returning for the new series, including Rue (Zendaya), Jules (Hunter Schafer), Maddy (Alexa Demie), Cassie (Sydney Sweeney), Nate (Jacob Elordi), Lexi (Maude Apatow), and more.

Also, with Dominic Fike (as a new addition to the cast in season 2, we wouldn’t be surprised if some new faces were welcomed to the show.

Sadly, it looks like Ashtray (Javon Walton) won’t be appearing in the next season due to his shock death in the season 2 finale. We all remember his stand-off against armed police and how he was killed during the chaos.

It was also announced that Barbie Ferreira wouldn’t return to Euphoria Season 3 as Kat Hernandez after announcing her exit on her Instagram.

What will be Euphoria Season 3’s plot?

There are currently no updates on the storyline for the new season, but of course, it will be focusing once again on the hectic lives of the youngsters.

Season 3 will most likely see whether or not Rue stays clean from her addiction. We saw her reveal in the finale that she had managed to keep clean for the rest of the school year but was unsure how long she would stay that way. As well as what happens with the Maddy/Cassie/Nate love triangle, which has torn apart Maddy and Cassie’s friendship.

The season 2 finale also saw Nate call the cops on his father, Cal (Eric Dane), for his crimes, so we’ll see how his future pans out in season 3 and how long he’ll be in prison.

Despite a controversial run and a confounding finale, EuphoriaSeason 2’s ending sets up numerous possibilities for Season 3. While it’s unclear where some characters are headed, Rue seems to be on a path of redemption. But there is also a hint that she might relapse – some relationships need follow-up.

From Fez’s downfall and his response to the death of Ashtray to Cassie and Maddy’s relationship (and the former’s romance with Nate), there’s plenty to mine for Euphoria season 3. After other characters like Kat, Jules, and Elliot are sidelined, what’s in store for them in the upcoming season is unclear.
