Euphoria Season 3 has officially begun production, with an announcement shared on social media Monday morning. The news follows a promise made in November by Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content, that filming would commence in early 2025, featuring the return of the main cast. This came after rumors that Euphoria creator, Sam Levinson (The Idol), might cancel the show’s 2025 shoot and plans of a third season. Bloys also shared in July that the upcoming season will consist of eight full-length episodes.
The Season 2 finale left several unresolved storylines, including the fate of Fezco’s (played by late actor Angus Cloud) partner in crime, Ashtray, played by Javon Walton (The Umbrella Academy). Fans are left wondering if Laurie will pursue Rue, whether Cal Jacobs has truly exited the series and if Lexi and Cassie’s sisterly bond can ever recover after the explosive events at Lexi’s play.
Zendaya (Challengers, Dune), the Emmy-winning star, will return alongside a strong cast, including Hunter Schafer (Kinds of Kindness, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), Nika King (Funny Married Stuff, Greenleaf), Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy), Angus Cloud (Abigail, Your Lucky Day), Jacob Elordi (Priscilla, The Kissing Booth), Algee Smith (Judas and the Black Messiah), Sydney Sweeney (The White Lotus, The Handmaid’s Tale), Alexa Demie (Fantasmas), Barbie Ferreira (Nope), Maude Apatow (Hollywood, Girls), Javon Walton, Dominic Fike (Anyone But You, Barbie), and Austin Abrams (This is Us, Dash & Lily).
The series was created by Ron Leshem (Allegiance) and Daphna Levin (In Therapy), based on the Israeli show of the same name, and is executive produced by Levinson, Kevin Turen (Irma Vep), Ravi Nandan (Beef, Mo), Drake, Adel “Future” Nur (Top Boy), Zendaya, Will Greenfield (Malcolm & Marie), Ashley Levinson (MaXXXine), Ron Leshem, Daphna Levin and Hadas Mozes Lichtenstein (Scarred).
