Listen up, Euphoria fans. Season three is coming!

After season two came to an end last year with that series finale, we've been dying to find out what will happen next for our favourite characters like Rue, Fezco, Cassie and more. Plus, will Tom Holland ever make a surprise cameo?

So, here's everything we know so far about Euphoria season three, from the expected release date to the trailer, cast and more.

What is the release date for Euphoria season 3?

Finally, a release date for season three of Euphoria has been confirmed! But, we'll have to a while until we see Rue, Maddie and Cassie on our screens again.

HBO boss, Casey Bloys, announced at a press event that the new season will air in 2025. That's two years away, Euphoria fans.

This comes after HBO’s head of drama, Francesca Orsi, also confirmed a two-year wait for the series due to creator Sam Levinson’s commitment to The Idol (which has now been cancelled), Zendaya’s packed schedule and ongoing writes strikes.

“Euphoria is one of those that we had begun writing in tandem with post-production on Idol but at this point, we don’t have countless scripts,” Francesca told Deadline.

“We can’t start shooting, so the delivery of that show — ideally in 2025 — will be determined on when we can pick back up with Sam, who at this point is all pencils down and just finishing posts on The Idol.”

Who will star in Euphoria season 3?

Fans can expect to see the majority of their favourite characters return for season three. That includes Zendaya as Rue, Hunter Schafer as Jules, Sydney Sweeney as Cassie, Jacob Elordi as Nate and Alexa Demie as Maddy.

Heartbreakingly, Angus Cloud who played Fezco died from an accidental drug overdose in July aged just 25, meaning his character is unlikely to appear in season three.

Barbie Ferreira has revealed Cat won't be back for season three of the show, too. In an emotional Instagram post, she wrote, "After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character Kat, I'm having to say a very teary eyed goodbye.

"I hope many of you could see yourself in her like I did and that she brought you joy to see her journey into the character she is today. I put all my care and love into her and I hope you guys could feel it. Love you, Katherine Hernandez."

What might happen in Euphoria season 3?

Euphoria season two ended with a lot of cliffhangers, leaving fans wondering whether Fezco and Ashtray are still alive and what the future of Maddy and Cassie's friendship looks like.

Now, Zendaya (who plays the lead Rue) has revealed a few more details about season three in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "It’ll be exciting to explore the characters out of high school," she told them in August 2022.

"I want to see what Rue looks like in her sobriety journey, how chaotic that might look. But also with all the characters, in the sense where they’re trying to figure out what to do with their lives when high school is over and what kind of people they want to be."

The actor continued, "What was special about [season two] was that we got to dive into [the other characters] in a much deeper sense. I think we can do that again with the third season. There’s so much talent, you want to make sure everybody has the chance to have that."

When was Euphoria season 3 confirmed?

As of 4th February 2022, HBO and Euphoria revealed a third instalment of the show was officially coming, and we obviously couldn't be happier. A tweet on the official account read, "#EUPHORIA has been renewed for season 3."

Considering how popular the first two seasons were, with Zendaya even scooping up an Emmy for her leading performance, it's hardly surprising a third season is happening. But still, fans are ecstatic!

With the third season, HBO followed the same pattern as they did with season two, by announcing it while the prior season was still running. That is to say, the second season of Euphoria was confirmed while the first season was still running in July 2019.
