Euphoria will return for a third season, but filming has been postponed several times over the past few years. The actors and crew are also mourning the loss of actor Angus Cloud, who passed away at the age of 25 in July 2023. «Euphoria» has become one of HBO’s biggest hits, so it’s no surprise that the show quickly got the green light for a third season. Although there was a long wait between the first two seasons, the third season has finally begun, and the cast is expanding.
In November 2023, HBO head Casey Bloys revealed new details about the third season.
«Sam [Levinson], Zendaya, and the entire cast of 'Euphoria' took the second season to incredible heights, challenging narrative conventions and form, while still maintaining its heart. We couldn’t be more honored to work with this talented, wildly talented team or more excited to continue our journey with them in the third season», - said Francesca Orsi, HBO’s executive vice president of programming.
Hollywood Life has gathered all the latest news on the release date, plot details, and much more that you need to know.
HBO has not yet announced the exact release date for the third season of «Euphoria».
The delay in production of the show was mainly due to the SAG-AFTRA strike in 2023. When asked about a possible release date in 2024, Zendaya told Entertainment Tonight at a For Your Consideration event in April 2022: «I think that might be true. Honestly, I don’t know. There are some executives who know better than me, you might want to ask them. I’ll be busy for a while».
In February 2023, Vogue revealed in a profile of Maude Apatow that filming for the second season «was not planned to start until the second half of 2023». Maude admitted that she knows «nothing» about the third season. «We have to get the scripts and hear about the next season soon, but I’m completely in the dark!» she added.
The following year, Nika King — who plays Leslie Bennett, Rue’s mother — shared a TikTok video in which she stands on stage and says she doesn’t know when «Euphoria» will return, despite being asked by fans.
«The third season is coming… I don’t know», - Nika told the laughing audience. «Don't ask me. I don’t know. It’s one of those things. People say, 'We need a third season.' I say, 'Baby, I need a third season too!' I haven’t paid rent in six months, and Zendaya is in Paris for Fashion Week. I say, 'Baby, come back! I need you. Mom 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. «In the meantime, we allow our in-demand actors to seek other opportunities».
Zendaya will return as Rue. According to Puck, the actress reportedly «closed a major negotiation deal» and will be earning $ 1 million per episode in the second season.
Returning actors for the third season include Hunter Schafer as Jules, Maude Apatow as Lexi, Sydney Sweeney 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 joining the cast for the third season include Trisha Paytas, Bella Podaras, Bill Bodner, Kaylin Rice, Collin Camp, Daniel Deaviler, Eli Roth, Gideon Adlon, Hemky Madera, Homer Herre, Jack Topalian, Jessica Blair Herman, Kwame Patterson, Madison Thompson, Matthew Willig, Natasha Lyonne, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Sam Trammell.
On August 24, 2022, Barbie Ferreira announced that she will not be returning for the third season. She confirmed that she is leaving the show through her Instagram Stories. Barbie played Kat Hernandez in the first two seasons.
«After 4 years of embodying the most special and mysterious character Kat, I have to say goodbye with a heavy heart», - Barbie wrote. «I hope many of you could see yourselves in her, like I did, and that you enjoyed following her journey as much as I did»
