Rumored Setting for Season 3

Creator Sam Levinson and HBO have not yet released details about season 3 of Euphoria. However, according to the show's costume designer, Heidi Bivens, there are rumors that season 3 will be set approximately five years in the future, with all the characters having graduated from high school.

Fans can anticipate the return of the main cast for season 3, including Zendaya as Rue, Hunter Schafer as Jules Vaughn, and Dominic Fike as Elliot. Additionally, Eric Dane, who portrays Cal Jacobs, is expected to have an increased presence in the upcoming season.

Maude Apatow will reprise her role as Lexi in season 3, although the fate of her character's love interest remains uncertain. Fans can expect more drama involving Cassie, as Sydney Sweeney confirmed in a March 2024 interview with MTV's Josh Horowitz that she was preparing to return to the Euphoria set.

Maude Apatow disclosed to Vogue in February 2023 that filming for season 3 of Euphoria was initially slated to begin in the latter half of 2023.
