Euphoria Season 3 Premieres With Five-Year Leap and Fresh Setting

Zendaya has indicated this run could close the series.

Overview

  • Euphoria returned Sunday, April 12 on HBO/HBO Max in the US and Monday, April 13 on Sky and WOW in Germany, starting an eight-episode rollout that ends June 1.
  • The new season shifts the characters into early adulthood with a roughly five-year time jump, and creator Sam Levinson says Rue is now living in Mexico.
  • A pre-release clip showing Sydney Sweeney’s character in childlike fetish styling drew heavy social-media criticism that accused the promo of sexualizing a baby aesthetic.
  • At the Los Angeles premiere, Levinson said the deaths of Angus Cloud and Eric Dane shaped his approach to Season 3 and described honoring Cloud’s legacy as central to the rewrite.
  • Most of the core cast returns alongside high-profile newcomers such as Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, and Kadeem Hardison, with reporting also pointing to a LabrinthHans Zimmer music collaboration.
