Production of Euphoria’s 3rd season is still in progress, and judging by how the 2nd season ended, the news is not bad at all.

“Creator Sam Levinson, Zendaya and the entire Euphoria team have uploaded season 2 to extremely levels, causing narrative contracts and forms while maintaining the heart of the series,” said HBO’s executive vice president, Francesca Orsi, in February 2022. ‘We could not be more Proud we work with this talented team or more excited to continue with them in Season 3. “

The renewal of the series was no surprise, but after a series of controversial events, Angus Cloud’s tragic death in the summer of 2023, and the SAG-AFTRA strike, there was uncertainty about when and how to repeat production.

Angus Cloud, known for the role of Fez, suddenly died in July 2023, at the age of only 25. His colleagues, such as Maude Apatow, Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney, had published moving tributes to the late actress.

Storm Reid, who played Rue’s sister, Gia, announced her retirement in November 2024, saying that her character would not return to Season 3, although she was grateful for the experience.

New members of the cast

An unexpected news came with the announcement of February 14th. According to the third slide of the post, pop star Rosalía will join the series, along with Marshawn Lynch, Toby Wallace, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Kadeem Hardison, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert and Anna Van Van Van Van Van Patten. HBO shared a photo of Rosalía in her new role, though she has not yet revealed the name or story of her character.

Rosalía said: “If there is something that excites me as much as the discovery of a good track or verse, it is to become a better performer every day. Euphoria is my favorite series of recent years and I could not be happier and grateful to go with all these colleagues I admire so much and that I will contribute to the implementation of Sam’s vision. “

What will happen in Euphoria’s 3rd season?

But nothing is clear yet! All we know is definitely that there will probably be a long jump. Zendaya had mentioned her issue after the end of the 2nd season, talking about the exploration of the characters after the school.

“I think it will be exciting to see the characters out of school. I want to see how RUE looks like in her way to temperance and how all this will look like, “Zendaya told The Hollywood Reporter in August 2022.

Bloys had confirmed this plan in 2024, saying that “there was a lot of debate about where it would be placed and how far in the future we put it.”

What else do we know about season 3?

Few things are still known. Levinson had stated in August 2023 that Euphoria’s 3rd season would be a “film noir” and had implied that Rue would explore what it means to be a person with principles in a corrupt world. Although in October 2024, Zendaya had reported that she does not know much about where the season was going, she had confirmed the time jump and the development of the characters out of school, offering viewers a new dimension to who is in adult their life.
