Euphoria Season 3 is officially happening. The series returns on April 12, closing a chapter of delays fueled by industry strikes and persistent cancellation rumors. With the release of its official trailer on January 14, HBO confirms that season 3 is very much in motion—with eight new episodes shaped once again by the uncompromising vision of creator Sam Levinson.
One of the most noticeable shifts this season is when the story takes place. The new episodes move beyond high school, following the characters several years later as they navigate adulthood. The setting may have changed, but the emotional chaos hasn’t. If anything, the trailer suggests that the consequences are heavier and far less avoidable.
At the center of it all is Zendaya, once again stepping into the role of Rue. Her presence in the trailer feels quieter, more reflective. There’s an underlying sense that Rue is trying—maybe for the first time—to believe in something better, even if it’s not the life she imagined for herself. Still, Euphoria makes it clear that personal growth doesn’t erase old damage.
That damage traces back to one of the most unresolved storylines from season two. Rue’s deal with Laurie, a ruthless drug dealer, left her in possession of a suitcase filled with drugs valued at roughly $10,000. The plan was simple and reckless: sell them at school, pay her back, and walk away.
What Euphoria Season 3 Has in Store
Instead, everything collapsed. Rue’s mother found the suitcase and destroyed its contents, unaware that the drugs represented a debt that couldn’t simply disappear. Now, that unpaid balance, and the danger attached to it, appears to be the backbone of the new season. The message is clear: what was left unfinished is now unavoidable, setting up a storyline that looks darker, tighter, and emotionally unforgiving.
Another major reveal comes in the form of Cassie and Nate. Against all expectations, they’re still together—and engaged. Cassie, played by Sydney Sweeney, seems to have fully reinvented herself, now working as a model on an adult content platform. Nate, portrayed by Jacob Elordi, appears to have stepped into his father’s world, taking control of the family construction business.
The trailer also gives a clearer look at Rosalía, confirming that her role is more than a brief appearance. All signs point to her character being a pole dancer.
Several familiar faces return, though the trailer keeps their arcs deliberately vague. Lexi (Maude Apatow), Cassie’s sister, reappears alongside Maddy (Alexa Demie) and Jules (Hunter Schafer). They’re present, they matter—but their stories remain partially hidden, suggesting that their real impact will unfold gradually.

Rounding out the season are new characters who seem closely tied to Rue’s trajectory and the drug world surrounding her. Their introduction hints at a broader, riskier environment. This next chapter of Euphoria looks sharper, more dangerous, and far less forgiving. Every choice carries weight—and no one walks away untouched.
