We expect to see most of the show's key cast – including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, Angus Cloud, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Storm Reid and Dominic Fike – return for Euphoria season 3, but not all of the above have been set in stone as yet. Zendaya as Chani in Dune (Image credit: Warner Bros.) Euphoria season 3 cast Zendaya, for instance, is booked to play a significant role in the Dune sequel (as well as star in Luca Guadagnino's new drama, Challengers), while Hunter Schafer is currently filming The Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Snakes and Songbirds.

The only barrier to its development, in our minds, will be the respective schedules of show's increasingly-in-demand cast members. Now, though – with real momentum from the show’s second season behind them – we expect Levinson to have HBO’s backing to get things moving quickly on Euphoria season 3. The other documents a long conversation between Schafer's Jules and her therapist. One is set entirely in a single location, with Rue unloading on Colman Domingo’s Ali, her sponsor, as she tries to recover from addiction. If you’ve watched these placeholder episodes, you can feel Covid’s influence in every frame. After a successful first season, Euphoria was confirmed for a second run in mid-2019, but endless Covid delays meant two ‘bridge’ episodes ended up being put in place. It took a lot longer than producers and HBO had planned for the show’s second season to make it to air. Our best guess for when new episodes might release is late 2023, but in any case, we don't expect the gap between seasons 2 and 3 to be the same as that between 1 and 2. As above, no release date has been set for Euphoria season 3 as yet, though we do know for sure that it's on the way after HBO confirmed the series' renewal in February 2022.
