The exuberant chaos continues as Euphoria Season 3 is finally in the works! Since Euphoria season 2 came to a bittersweet end in 2022, it still lives rent-free in our heads at Style Spur. Fans were left with many questions and definitely wanted more from the season finale. Now, after many delays and setbacks, we have confirmed news that the production has started on the 8-episode season! Get ready for big feelings, hot drama, and addicting messes as the characters you love are coming back!
Euphoria fans are eagerly waiting for the release of Season 3 since the series confirmation news started circulating on major social media platforms. Euphoria is the second most-watched show, right behind Games of Thrones. With over 34 million tweets in the US alone, it is the biggest show in the last decade! No wonder fans are going crazy! We are also looking forward to fresh looks, new faces, and a major time jump in Season 3. The series is going into production in January 2025 and will most probably be released in 2026.
Casey Bloys, CEO of HBO, has confirmed some returning cast names for us. The core cast is going to be officially back for unhinged drama and unmatched vibes! Zendaya will be resuming her role as Rue Bennett, Alexa Demie as Maddy Perez, Hunter Schafer as Jules, Sydney Sweeny as Cassie, and Dominic Fike as Elliot. As for the continuing redemption arc of Cal Jacobs, Eric Dane will be back to play this character!
However, certain fan favorites are not going to be coming back. Javon Walton (Ashtray) and Barbie Ferreria (Kat Hernandez) won’t be coming back for Euphoria Season 3. Storm Reid, who plays the role of Rue’s younger sister Gia, has also parted from the series. She stated, “Unfortunately, Gia’s not returning for the third season. But I’m so, so indebted to the cast and crew of that show, to HBO. Euphoria’s a really special thing, and I’m so glad that’s a part of my legacy and that I was part of such a cultural phenomenon.”
In November 2024, false rumors started swirling around on social media platforms about the cancelation of the season. However, these rumors were quickly shut down by Casey Bloys, who stated that the show is still in the works. The production of Euphoria Season 3 will quickly begin in January 2025. The season saw many setbacks due to writer’s strikes and scheduling conflicts of the actors and actresses involved. Sam Levison, the series’ creator, and writer, was also away from the season due to his commitment to “The Idol.” Another major setback was the sudden tragic passing of Angus Cloud (Rez) in July 2023. Everyone on the show decided to delay the season to properly mourn his death.
Regardless, the show is lurching towards production. An official HBO spokesperson has admitted that “HBO and Sam Levinson are on board and remain committed to making an exceptional third season” as scripts are finally being written.
Euphoria has catapulted many young stars into the glamorous sky of Hollywood. Zendaya and Sydney Sweeny are two such actresses. While on Variety’s “Actors on Actors,” Zendaya told Nicole Kidman how her acting journey has been since Euphoria. While reflecting on her role as Rue, Zendaya shared her experience of working on the set of Euphoria. She stated We’re supposed to do another season. I’ve only done two, but it feels like five. On “Euphoria,” we’d have really, really tough days. I’m like, “OK, gotta go cry and knock down a door real quick,” and then I’ll come back like, “Hey, Cheesecake Factory? What are we getting for lunch?” I try my best to leave them at work and go home and live my life and be a person”.
While promoting her films “Immaculate” and “Madame Web” in March 2024, Sydney Sweeny told MTV that she would like to return to Euphoria. When asked if she would take a break after, she answered: “I go into Euphoria. I always feel like I go home when I go back to it.” This shows that the cast are just as excited about Euphoria Season 3 as we fans are!
Many sources have confirmed that Euphoria Season 3 will have a time jump to register the cast’s age. Other than that, little is known about the plot for now. In a recent interview with “Elle,” Sam Levison teased that the new show will have a “film noir” aesthetic. You can expect to see a lot more of Rue and her struggles with sobriety, as well as her surroundings. When in conversation with Extra, Zendaya expressed her excitement and hope for Rue’s character arc: “I would like to explore Rue’s sobriety arc and that journey for her. We see her in the midst of it. It would be nice to see her closer to the other side.”
The other cast members have teased that Euphoria Season 3 is going to be wild with messier moments, cinematic shots, and bigger messes! We also hope that certain beloved characters enter redemption arcs and major glow ups! With immaculate vibes and real talk wrapped in glitter, Euphoria Season 3 is gonna be big!
In Euphoria Season 3, one of the biggest changes that we are excited about is the time jump! As the characters exit the iconic high school setting and the show moves towards more mature settings and themes, viewers are excited for new twists and turns! We’ll see a whole new chapter in the lives of our favorite characters and how everything is going to unwind. At Style Spur, we were excited to know that Labrinth is composing a whole new soundtrack for Euphoria Season 3! So, get ready for dope music, immaculate vibes, and a whole new level of drama!
This is such an exciting read! Euphoria has always been a visual masterpiece, and I can’t wait to see how the returning cast evolves in Season 3. The detailed updates here have me even more hyped! Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Can’t wait to watch and discuss the stunning fashion moments this season is sure to bring. Who else is counting the days?
