Where did Euphoria Season 2 leave off?
At the end of Season 2, Rue was once again clean from drugs and looking to rekindle her friendship with Lexi; Ashtray was killed during an encounter with the police at Fezco’s home; Nate turned in his dad Cal; and Cassie and Maddy continued to deal with the remains of their friendship. Read a full recap of the finale here.
Series creator Sam Levinson has said that upcoming episodes may feature a time jump and/or have a film-noir feel, told from the perspective of Zendaya’s Rue.
Which cast members are returning for Euphoria Season 3?
While HBO has not yet released a full cast roster for the upcoming season, the network confirmed in July that the “principal cast” — which includes, in part, Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Maude Apatow and Alexa Demie — will be back for Season 3. Then, in November, HBO boss Casey Bloys confirmed that “everybody is expected to come back.”
Additionally, in a July 2024 episode of Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live!, Colman Domingo confirmed that he would be back to play Rue’s sponsor, Ali, in the upcoming season.
In November, Zendaya told Vanity Fair that she hadn’t read any Season 3 scripts yet, but “My most important thing is to do justice by the people who love and care about Rue, and make sure that she’s looked after as a character. I think that’s my Number 1 duty.”
Are any new actors joining Euphoria’s cast for Season 3?
We don’t yet know if any new cast members will join the upcoming season, but we will update this post as soon as we learn of any cast additions.
Who won’t be back for Euphoria Season 3?
The HBO drama’s cast has sustained some losses since the Season 2 finale aired. Tragically, Angus Cloud, who played Fez, died in July 2023 of an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine. Former series regular Barbie Ferreira also will not return; she announced her departure from the role of Kat in August 2022. We also don’t expect to see Javon Walton, who played Ashtray, to appear in Season 3; his character died during a shootout with police in the Season 2 finale. And finally, Storm Reid, who played Rue’s younger sister Gia for two seasons, confirmed in November that she won’t be back for Season 3.
When will Season 3 be released?
The date of the Season 3 premiere is not yet known, but we’ll be sure to update this post when it is. In July, TVLine learned that HBO was planning to start production on the forthcoming season in January 2025. HBO boss Casey Bloys has said that the show is slated to return sometime in 2025.
