HBO’s acclaimed teen drama Euphoria is heading into its third, and potentially final season, boasting an impressive lineup that includes 18 newly added cast members whose roles have yet to be revealed.
The newcomers are Bella Podaras, Bill Bodner, Cailyn Rice, Colleen Camp, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth, Gideon Adlon, Hemky Madera, Homer Gere, Jack Topalian, Jessica Blair Herman, Kwame Patterson, Madison Thompson, Matthew Willig, Natasha Lyonne, Rebecca Pidgeon, Sam Trammell, and Trisha Paytas.
Returning from the original cast are Alanna Ubach, Daeg Faerch, Dominic Fike, Melvin Bonez Estes, Nika King, Paula Marshall, Sophia Rose Wilson, and Zak Steiner.
They will appear alongside the previously confirmed main cast members Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, and Colman Domingo.
Season 3 will also feature several new faces already announced earlier, including Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Toby Wallace, Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Kadeem Hardison, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, Anna Van Patten, and Asante Blackk.
The upcoming season, from series creator Sam Levinson, will span eight episodes and introduce a time jump that moves the story beyond the characters’ high school years.
Filming for Season 3 is underway in Los Angeles, supported by a $19.4 million California tax credit. Euphoria Season 3 is set to debut in 2026, four years after the previous season’s release, and is widely expected to serve as the series finale.
“We’ve talked about it, I don’t think anything is over until it’s over, but it’s been discussed that this is the end,” said HBO’s head of drama Francesca Orsi in February, ahead of her first visit to the set.
She continued, “I think you will be very satisfied with this season, and how we bring each of the characters’ whole narrative.”
Levinson serves as the creator, writer, director, and executive producer of Euphoria, produced in collaboration with A24. The series has garnered 25 Emmy nominations and secured nine wins, including two for Zendaya as Best Actress in a Drama and one for Colman Domingo as Best Guest Actor in a Drama.
Levinson also received a Directors Guild of America (DGA) Award for the Season 2 episode “Stand Still Like the Hummingbird.” Beyond its critical success, Euphoria remains one of the most-watched shows in HBO’s history.
