HBO has finally confirmed that Zendaya and the entire starry universe of Euphoria are stepping back into the spotlight after years of whispers, delays, cast drama, and bold career leaps. The cast list reads like a roll call of returning fire and fresh intrigue, and the mood around the show feels hotter than ever.
Euphoria Season 3: HBO Confirms Release Date
The long wait stretches all the way back to the end of season 2, and HBO now places the return in April 2026. It is a four-year gap that made the cast grow up in real time, the fans grow restless, and the show’s legend grow bigger than anyone predicted when Sam Levinson first created the series.
According to CBR, HBO also adds an entire wave of fresh faces, from Rosalía and Trisha Paytas to Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth, Marshawn Lynch, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Toby Wallace, Sharon Stone, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Kadeem Hardison, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, Anna Van Patten, Asante Blackk, Bella Podaras, Bill Bodner, Cailyn Rice, Colleen Camp, Gideon Adlon, Hemky Madera, Homer Gere, Jack Topalian, Jessica Blair Herman, Kwame Patterson, Madison Thompson, Matthew Willig, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Sam Trammell.
In short, it is a cast list that reads like a red carpet lineup.

Levinson shared more during an HBO Max presentation in London, as per Variety. He said five years felt natural for the time jump. In the upcoming season, Rue begins south of the border in Mexico, deep in debt to Laurie and desperate for ways to pay it off. Cassie is in the suburbs with Nate, the two already engaged, her life wrapped in social media and envy over the glamorous new paths her former classmates seem to be taking.
