It had been a loooong four-year wait for the return of Euphoria season three, which saw numerous delays due to reported scheduling conflicts, the 2023 writers strike and the tragic passing of star Angus Cloud who played Fezco.
HBO first confirmed the show would be returning in April 2026 late last year. Since then, fans have been treated to multiple trailers that gave insight into where each of our favourite characters are now.
Most notably Cassie and Nate are married, living in not so domestic bliss. Maddy has seemingly resurfaced in Cassie’s life after what we assume was an extended time apart. Rue is in deep trouble, yet again, with drug lords. And Jules looks better than ever.
Now that season three has premiered, we’re eagerly awaiting each new episode. Below, everything you need to know about the release schedule.

Where To Watch Euphoria Season 3 In Australia?
Seasons one and two of Euphoria are currently available to stream on HBO Max in Australia.
The series was previously hosted on Binge before the platform lost the rights following HBO’s local launch in March, which shifted the show to its own streaming service.
Since its debut in 2019, Euphoria has become one of HBO’s defining cultural phenomena, launching the careers of its young cast and cementing itself as one of the network’s most watched series of all time.
Is The Entire Cast Of Euphoria Returning?
Most of the core cast is returning, including Zendaya, Schafer, Elordi, Sweeney, Eric Dane, Colman Domingo, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Dominic Fike, Chloe Cherry, Nika King, Martha Kelly and Alanna Ubach. New additions include Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Trisha Paytas, Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth and Marshawn Lynch.
Several familiar faces will not appear in season three. Storm Reid previously confirmed her character Gia will be absent, while Barbie Ferreira exited the series in 2022. Austin Abrams and Algee Smith also do not appear on the confirmed cast list.
What Will Season 3 Of Euphoria Be About?
Series creator Sam Levinson revealed early story details at an HBO Max presentation in London on Wednesday, confirming that season three will jump forward five years. He described the time shift as a natural next chapter for the characters as they move fully into adulthood.
Zendaya returns as Rue, now living in Mexico and in debt to Laurie, searching for increasingly dangerous ways to survive. Cassie and Nate, played by Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi, are engaged and living in the suburbs, with Cassie consumed by social media and fixated on the lives of her former classmates. Levinson confirmed the pair will marry, promising “an unforgettable night.”
Jules, played by Hunter Schafer, is at art school and grappling with the pressure of turning creativity into a career. Maddy is working at a Hollywood talent agency while juggling side hustles. Lexi is now an assistant to a powerful showrunner portrayed by Sharon Stone.
