Euphoria Season 3: Star-Studded Cast Expands

If everything goes according to plan, the upcoming installment of the series is going to be a gathering of big shots, with the Basic Instinct star joining the likes of Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Maude Apatow and Colman Domingo.

Her potential addition comes alongside other exciting casting announcements,...

Hollywood – Sharon Stone is in negotiations to join the cast of HBO’s hit series Euphoria for its third season. The veteran actress, known for her roles in Basic Instinct and Casino, is set to appear alongside a returning ensemble that includes Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, and Colman Domingo.

New cast members joining the production feature Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Toby Wallace, with guest spots reserved for Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, and Kadeem Hardison among others.

Season 3, comprising eight episodes and scheduled to premiere in 2026, introduces a time jump that moves the storyline beyond high school. Created, written, directed, and executive produced by Sam Levinson, the series is currently being filmed in Los Angeles after a three-year production hiatus. While details about Stone’s character remain under wraps, her potential addition is generating significant excitement given her illustrious career and impact on film.

In case you happened to miss the exciting if not unbelievable news, filming has officially started on the long-delayed third season of HBO's Euphoria. Cameras began rolling on the highly anticipated season 3 in early 2025, as HBO shared in February a new photo of Zendaya back in character as Rue. The series had been away so long, many wondered if it would ever make it back to air.

But Euphoria defied the odds stacked against it — like strikes, creative differences, and real-life tragedy — to commence production on what HBO's boss has referred to as the likely final season. One last season for the road, a victory lap for the Emmy Award-winning series if you will. We've heard reports about who won't be back, and now we're learning who's joining season 3.

If you read the headline and were hoping that somehow Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce would be appearing in Euphoria season 3, no,...

When Sam Levinson's "Euphoria" debuted on HBO, the coming-of-age series quickly became a phenomenon. It provided Zendaya the platform to become the youngest two-time Emmy winner in history as well as the youngest person to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance as high schooler Rue Bennett, undoubtedly the role that changed the trajectory of her entire career. Despite its edgy nature, "Euphoria" became a runaway mainstream success, one of the most discussed TV shows on social media, and the launchpad for a new class of Hollywood performers including Hunter Schaefer, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Eloridi, Storm Reid, and the late Angus Cloud.

Dominic Fike is returning for Season 3 of “Euphoria.”

While he was left off a list of new and returning cast members released by HBO on Friday, Variety can exclusively report that the “3 Nights” singer and actor will indeed reprise his role as Elliot in Sam Levinson’s hit high school drama. Fike is set to shoot a couple of scenes for the show next week, sources say.

HBO declined to comment.

Fike joined “Euphoria” in its second season, which premiered in January 2022. He played a guitar-slinging, drug-addicted teen who befriends Rue (Zendaya) and Jules (Hunter Schafer), wrapping them up in a messy love triangle and serving as an obstacle to Rue’s sobriety. Fike’s talents as a Grammy-nominated recording artist were highlighted in the Season 2 finale, as Elliot performs an original song on the acoustic guitar for Rue. Fike and Zendaya released a version of “Elliot’s Song” on music streaming services.

While other shows fight tooth and nail for viewers’ attention, the world always stops when news about the return of HBO‘s Euphoria is at hand. After a lengthy delay, confusion, and scheduling gymnastics, Euphoria is waking from its 4-year slumber with an eight-episode season that takes the characters out of high school for a strategic time jump. According to Deadline, Grammy Award winner Rosalía, Super Bowl Champion Marshawn Lynch, and beloved A Different World and White Man Can’t Jump actor Kadeem Hardison will join Zendaya, Jacob Elodi, Sydney Sweeney, and more for Euphoria Season 3.

The third season of Euphoria will air on HBO in 2026, giving fans time to speculate about where their favorite characters are after waving goodbye to high school and stepping into a world waiting to swallow them whole. Returning for Euphoria Season 3 are Zendaya, Haunter Schaefer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow as series regulars.

For a multitude of complicated reasons, EuphoriaSeason 3 has been a long time coming for fans of the Emmy-winning HBO drama. After several delays, which saw scripts reportedly scrapped by the network, the third season is finally in production and a first-look image of Zendaya has already been revealed. However, fans have been long debating who will return to the long-awaited follow-up, and while some missing names were already known, the now-confirmed cast list included several major absences.

Deadline reports that those set to return in their series regular roles in Euphoria Season 3 include Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow, while Oscar nominee Colman Domingo will guest star once again. Unfortunately, those missing from the aforementioned list include Storm Reid, Algee Smith, Barbie Ferreira, and Nika King. Ferreira's absence is not shocking, of course, as it's been reported she heavily disagreed with...

The core cast members returning to Euphoria as the series begins production on its much-delayed third season are welcoming some new faces into the fold of the madness. Zendaya will reprise her lead role as Rue alongside Hunter Schafer‘s Jules, Jacob Elorid’s Nate, Alexa Demie’s Maddy, Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie, Eric Dane’s Cal, and Maude Apatow’s Lexi. Joined the cast are an eclectic mix: musician Rosalía, professional athlete-turned-actor Marshawn Lynch, and actor Kadeem Hardison, per Deadline.

Euphoria boasts an all-star cast — but not all of them will be back for Season 3.

After bringing romantic comedies back to form with 2023’s Anyone But You, Sydney Sweeney is in talks to star in a different kind of comedy for an adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death. Sweeney is negotiating to star in the feature-length project at A24 and Picturestart, based on the short story by the timeless teller of spooky stories, Edgar Allen Poe. Charlie Polinger is directing, writing, and executive producing the “darkly comedic” take on The Masque of the Red Death, with Lucy McKendrick also serving as an executive producer.

Edgar Allen Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death, first published in 1842, follows Prince Prospero’s attempts to avoid a dangerous plague while hiding in his abbey. Some consider Poe’s Gothic fiction tale an allegory for the inevitability of death, though some literary experts disagree. In the story, Prospero hosts a masquerade ball...

Will we see Euphoria Season 3 in 2025? HBO has just announced that the highly-anticipated third season will begin filming in January.

While the third-season renewal was announced way back in February 2022, the production has been pushed back several times since then. HBO says that all of the principal cast members will return.

“I am thrilled that we are ready to begin production on Euphoria in January,” said Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO programming and head of HBO drama series and films.

“We could not be happier with our creative partnership with Sam and this incredible cast. We look forward to bringing this new season of Euphoria to life for the fans.”

The popular series’ first season premiered in June 2019, and the second season launched in January 2022. Two one-hour specials aired in December 2020 and January 2021.

Kathryn Bigelow‘s upcoming Netflix film is shaping up after the additions of Idris Elba and Rebecca Fergusson as Gabriel Basso and Jared Harris enter final negotiations to join the cast.

Nearly everything about this movie remains secret, from the title to the synopsis to the stars’ roles. According to Deadline, the story revolves around the White House, where a crisis erupts. While there’s not much to go on, it’s not impossible to imagine Elba, Fergusson, Basso, and Harris leading a political thriller.

It’s been a while since Bigelow shot a feature film. Her last effort was the crime drama Detroit, which starred John Boyega, Anthony Mackie, Algee Smith, Will Poulter, Kaitlyn Dever, and Jacob Latimore. The fact-based drama, focusing on the 1967 Detroit riots, follows a group of rogue police officers who respond to a complaint with retribution rather than justice.

Being a teenager is rough and Brandon is no different. Between struggling in school, caring for his two younger siblings, and having just been let go from his job, he often uses his art as an escape from the confines of his subdued day-to-day life.

The Hate U Give tackles racism and racial inequality with insightful observations and compelling perspectives. Starr struggles with maintaining her authentic self and feels the pressure to conform to fit in. The movie highlights the importance of speaking out against injustices and standing up for what is right.

The best The Hate U Give quotes showcase the powerful and timely messages at the center of the acclaimed adaptation. Based on the book of the same title written by Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give is the story of Starr (Amandla Stenberg), an African-American teen who witnesses a friend being fatally shot by police and faces the pressures of speaking out and standing for justice. It is a story that has only become more relevant since the movie was first released in 2018, meaning many of the most powerful The Hate U Give quotes still resonate with viewers.

Euphoria season 3 faces script issues and delays, with Zendaya suggesting surprising storyline ideas. Production for Euphoria season 3 is officially postponed until 2025 due to off-set problems and rising star power of the cast. Sam Levinson teased a time jump and other story ideas that have faced challenges, leading to uncertainty over season 3's future.

Euphoria season 3 has reportedly undergone significant script issues and surprising story ideas amid continual delays for the show. The successful teen drama first aired in 2019, and attracted controversy for its depiction of drug use, nudity, and sexual content, but received critical praise for its performances, cinematography, and exploration of mature themes, and made stars of several of its ensemble cast. Euphoria season 2's cliffhanger ending saw Zendaya's character Rue walk away from girlfriend Jules, boosting anticipation for season 3, and the places it could go in terms of story.

Following several off-set problems and rumors of delays, Euphoria...

Colman Domingo believes the delay in Euphoria season 3's development is due to writer Sam Levinson's extensive rewrites for existential exploration. The rewrites are a response to the losses of cast member Angus Cloud and producer Kevin Turen, making the season a tribute to their memory. Other factors contributing to the delay include Hollywood labor strikes and the busy schedules of the show's talented cast members like Zendaya and Jacob Elordi.

Euphoria star Colman Domingo offers an intriguing update on the long wait for season 3. It has been over two years since the show's second season premiered, and it was officially renewed for season 3, but production on the new season hasn't started yet. Given that the show has attained high critical acclaim for its performances and tackling of mature subjects, the long delay has inevitably stirred many questions about the show's status and the reason for the season gap.

McKay's character was noticeably absent in Euphoria Season 2, leaving fans questioning why his role was reduced. McKay's storyline in Season 1 was centered around his identity crisis and the trauma he experienced due to a hazing ritual, as well as his rocky relationship with Cassie. Actor Algee Smith is unsure about McKay's future in the show, and it remains uncertain if he will return in Season 3.

Even amid the tumultuous events of Euphoria Season 2, it's difficult not to notice that a prominent character from Season 1 was virtually absent. Football star Chris McKay (played by Algee Smith) had been a leading man in HBO's teen drama. But he was hardly featured in the second season, leaving fans to wonder why his role was reduced so drastically.

McKay was introduced in Euphoria's 2019 series premiere as the boyfriend of Cassie Howard. Although he'd already graduated from East Highland, the school where Euphoria takes place,...
