To date, Euphoria has run for a total of 18 episodes.

Both season one and two have eight episodes each, alongside two specials filmed during the pandemic released in 2020, bridging the gap between the two seasons.

Season three has been confirmed to run for eight episodes as well, but the release date is not yet known.

Officially, it has not been confirmed that season three is Euphoria’s last. However, it has been widely speculated – including by executives at HBO – 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.

The season will run for eight episodes and will pick up four years after the events of the season two finale.

Season 3 is expected to premiere this April on Sky and HBO Max.

Euphoria is available on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
