It’s been a long time coming (four years, to be exact), but Euphoria is finally back on our screens – and things are more messed up than ever.

While all of the gang have now graduated high school, life is coming at each of them fast as they make their way into adulthood.

Struggling Rue is now a drug smuggler in Mexico, going to extremes (and often stomach-churning) lengths to pay back drug dealer Laurie – who tracked her down in a bid to get back the $10,000 dollars she owes. Add four years of interest… and Rue is in trouble.

Meanwhile, Nate and Cassie are still in East Highland and engaged to be married – but with Cassie wanting the most extravagant wedding possible, she’s turned to selling raunchy pictures on OnlyFans in a bid to make some money.

Maddy is living on the fringes of fame as a personal assistant in Hollywood, Jules is a sugar baby for an older man, and Lexi is trying to make it as an assistant on a studio lot.

Here’s how the season plays out.

The confirmed returning cast of season three are:

Filming for Euphoria season three officially began in February 2025.

It has been confirmed that the third season will premiere on 12 April in the US, with the series being shown in line with this on Sky Atlantic, NOW and HBO Max in the UK.

Officially, it has not been confirmed that season three is Euphoria’s last, however it has been widely insinuated by executives at HBO, the cast and creator that it could well be.

Speaking to Deadline in February 2025, Francesca Orsi, Head of Drama at HBO, said: “We’ve talked about it, I don’t think anything is over until it’s over, but it’s been discussed that this is the end.”

“I think you will be very satisfied with this season, and how we bring each of the characters’ whole narrative,” she added.

During an interview on the Drew Barrymore Show, lead star Zendaya noted “closure is coming” with season three, but didn’t elaborate.

Ahead of the release of season 3 in April 2026, creator Sam Levinson confirmed there were no plans for season 4 at that point.

He told Hollywood Reporter: "I write every season like it’s the last. If inspiration strikes and I have an idea, then I’ll talk to HBO. If it makes sense, it makes sense.

Explaining each series involves a lot of moving parts, he added: “We just want to get this season right. So if this is it, great. If there’s more …"
