Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi return

Fans of Euphoria finally got their first look at what’s coming in Season 3 with the release of the official trailer, and it’s clear the Emmy-winning HBO drama is shifting into a bold new chapter. 

The teaser offers a glimpse of where familiar faces like Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi find themselves years after the events of Season 2, promising plenty of intense drama and emotional complexity when the season premieres in April.

The trailer opens with Rue (Zendaya) more than five years beyond her high school struggles, now living in Mexico and still dealing with the fallout from her past. 

She reflects on life’s challenges and hints at a newfound, tentative sense of faith even as she faces renewed threats from figures connected to her drug problems.

Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie and Jacob Elordi’s Nate are shown in a very different place than before, now engaged and navigating their adult lives together. 

The teaser suggests their relationship has shifted into complex territory, with Cassie’s online content creation drawing a strong reaction from Nate.

Other returning characters also make appearances, showing how life has unfolded for friends from East Highland. 

‘Euphoria’ season 3 release date

As the new trailer came out, HBO confirms that Euphoria Season 3 will premiere on April 12, 2026, with episodes released weekly on HBO and streaming on HBO Max. 

A significant five-year time jump sets this season apart, bringing viewers into the characters’ post-high-school lives while still exploring the same raw themes of identity, relationships and consequence that defined earlier seasons.

Stars such as Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Natasha Lyonne, Trisha Paytas and Marshawn Lynch are among the fresh faces joining the series, adding new layers to the narrative. 

Acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer is on board to score the season, contributing to what producers have described as a “more cinematic” tone.
