The third season will see most of the main cast return, including Zendaya as Ruby “Rue” Bennett and Sydney Sweeney as Cassandra “Cassie” Howard.
It will also mark one of the final performances of actor Eric Dane, who plays Cal Jacobs, after his passing in February 2026.
After a major time jump, the new episodes will focus on the group’s adult lives, with Rue still struggling with substance issues. Meanwhile, Cassie is married to Nate, but Maddy continues to stir tension between them.
An official logline for season 3 reads: “A group of childhood friends wrestle with the virtue of faith, the possibility of redemption, and the problem of evil.”
Will there be Euphoria season 4?

At present, a fourth season hasn’t been officially announced either by the creator or the network.
During an interview with Variety earlier this week, showrunner Sam Levinson admitted there were currently “no plans” for a season 4. Instead, he was focused on delivering a “slam dunk” third season.

Similarly, while appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show, Zendaya hinted that the third installment could also be the final one.
“That closure is coming,” she teased.
However, HBO hasn’t officially confirmed whether the third season will indeed be the teen drama’s final outing.
