**Translation and Rewrite of the News:**
The series «Euphoria» is officially returning for its third season, and after long delays, fans have finally learned the release date. HBO has confirmed that the highly anticipated third season will premiere in April 2026, marking the first new episode of the show since early 2022. Production has faced numerous challenges over the years, and the cast and crew experienced a tragic loss with the passing of Angus Cloud in July 2023, who was only 25 years old.
Despite the hiatus, «Euphoria» remains one of HBO’s most popular and talked-about projects, making the third season inevitable. The network renewed the series early on, and in November 2023, HBO executives expressed their confidence in creator Sam Levinson and the cast.
«Sam [Levinson], Zendaya, and the entire 'Euphoria' team have taken the second season to unprecedented heights, challenging traditional narratives and forms while maintaining its soul», - said Francesca Orsi, HBO’s executive vice president of programming. «We couldn’t be prouder to work with this talented team and look forward to continuing our journey with them in the third season».
As the release date approaches, the actors are not shy about teasing what’s in store for the new season. In October 2025, Sydney Sweeney hinted at the new season in an interview with E! News, not holding back her excitement. «Dildos», - she said. «Hold on to those dildos. It’s Cassie, what do you expect?»
Hollywood Life has gathered all the latest news regarding the release date, plot details, and much more that you need to know.
HBO confirmed that the third season of «Euphoria» will premiere on April 12, 2026.
The production delay was primarily caused by the SAG-AFTRA strike in 2023. When Zendaya was asked about a possible release date in 2024, she responded to Entertainment Tonight at the «For Your Consideration» event in April 2022: «I think that could be true. Honestly, I don’t know. There are some executives who know better than I do; you can ask them. I’ll be busy for a while».
In February 2023, Vogue reported in a profile of Maude Apatow that filming for the second season «wasn't scheduled until the second half of 2023». Maude admitted that she knew «nothing» about the third season. «We should be getting scripts soon and learning about the next season, but I’m completely in the dark!» she added.
The following year, Nika King, who plays Leslie Bennett, the mother of Zendaya’s character Rue, shared a TikTok video where she confessed that she didn’t know when «Euphoria» would return, despite fan inquiries.
«The third season is coming out… I don’t freaking know», - Nika told the laughing audience. «Don't ask me. I don’t know. It’s one of those things. People are saying, 'We need a third season.' I’m like, 'Damn, I need a third season too!' I haven’t paid rent for six months, and Zendaya is in Paris during Fashion Week. I’m like, 'Damn, come home! I need you. Mommy needs you.'»
Shortly after that, HBO released a statement confirming that production is currently delayed.
«HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to creating an exceptional third season», - the network explained in its statement. «At this time, we are allowing our in-demand cast to explore other opportunities».
Zendaya will return as Rue. Reports indicate that the actress «secured a major deal» and will earn $ 1 million per episode in the second season, according to Puck.
Returning cast members for the third season include Hunter Schafer as Jules, Maude Apatow as Lexi, Sydney as Cassie, Jacob Elordi as Nate, Alexa Demie as Maddy, Storm Reid as Gia, Nika King as Leslie, and Colman Domingo as Ali.
New faces in the cast include Trisha Paytas, Bella Podaras, Bill Bodner, Kailyn Rice, Collin Camp, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth, Gideon Adlon, Hemky Madera, Homer Gira, Jack Topalian, Jessica Blair Herman, Kwame Patterson, Madison Thompson, Matthew Willig, Natasha Lyonne, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Sam Trammell
