After what feels like an eternity, Euphoria is finally returning to screens for its highly anticipated third season. Starring emerging acting royalty such as Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney, the show follows Rue (Zendaya), a teenager struggling with drug addiction who tries to fit back into school after a stint in rehab.
Doubts were cast over the future of the show – which last aired in 2022 – when the writer’s strike took action and news on the production for the third season subsequently went quiet. Plus there was the fact that the cast were becoming superstars outside of the show and – let's face it – too old to play school children. Then, tragedy struck the cast in July 2023 when Angus Cloud, who played Fezco ‘Fez’ O’Neill, tragically died aged 25.
However, the official Euphoria Instagram account made a post in July 2024 stating ‘Euphoria Season 3 will go into production in January 2025.’ Albeit a month late, the producers have stuck to their word and announced the show was in production on 10 February 2025.
At the Met Gala, Rosalía, who was confirmed as a new member of the cast in February, spoke about her experience so far of working on Euphoria. The show marks her first acting role. 'This is my first job, eh? Well, I’m learning, I’m figuring it out,' she said. 'I’m trying not to forget my lines, but it’s been really inspiring being beside these amazing actors and actresses. My first time, figuring it out, trying to have fun with it, play around, improvise.'
But what have our friends at East Highland High School been up to in their three years odd screen? Here’s everything we know about Euphoria season 3 so far.
