HBO has unveiled new images from the highly anticipated Season 3 of “Euphoria,” showcasing moments from the lives of its main characters. The images reveal Sydney Sweeney holding a melting ice cream cone, Jacob Elordi preparing raw meat, Hunter Schafer striking a pose in front of a painting, and Zendaya sitting contemplatively in pews.
The new season, set to premiere in April 2026, picks up five years after the conclusion of Season 2, offering viewers a glimpse into the evolving lives of the characters in Sam Levinson’s dramatic high school landscape. Over recent months, HBO has gradually shared teaser images and details about this upcoming series installment. In October, they announced the expansive cast, while creator Sam Levinson provided insights in December regarding the characters’ trajectories following the significant time jump.
According to Levinson, the choice to jump five years into the future feels natural, particularly as it aligns with the timeline of characters transitioning from high school to adulthood. The story begins with Rue, played by Zendaya, grappling with debts in Mexico to a character named Laurie, portrayed by Martha Kelly. Meanwhile, other characters are navigating their new realities: Jules, played by Hunter Schafer, faces anxieties as she explores a career in art; Maddy, played by Alexa Demie, is immersed in the Hollywood scene working at a talent agency; and Lexi, played by Maude Apatow, lands a role as an assistant to a showrunner depicted by Sharon Stone.
Amid these developments, Cassie, portrayed by Sweeney, finds herself engaged to Nate, played by Elordi, living in the suburbs while battling a growing addiction to social media and feeling overshadowed by her classmates’ seemingly grand lives. Levinson expressed his confidence in this season, claiming it to be the best yet, and confirmed that Cassie and Nate will indeed tie the knot, promising it to be an unforgettable event.
Alongside the captivating images, HBO also featured the first footage of “Euphoria” in a 2026 sizzle reel, which highlights a range of upcoming projects, including glimpses of “Lanterns,” “House of the Dragon,” and a new series from Larry David.
Fans eagerly await deeper insights and full episodes as “Euphoria” continues to explore the complexities of adolescent life in an increasingly unpredictable world. Further visual teasers released from HBO have only heightened anticipation for this next chapter in the lives of its beloved characters.
