Since then, few details have emerged about the coming third season of the gritty teen drama about a chaotic group of high-school students in the fictional town of East Highland in the US state of California.

The Emmy-winning series was renewed for a third season in February 2022, during the show’s second season. Created by Sam Levinson, Euphoria stars Zendaya as a 17-year-old girl struggling to maintain relationships while drifting in and out of sobriety and grieving the death of her father.

“Sam, Zendaya, and the entire cast and crew of Euphoria have taken season two to extraordinary heights, challenging narrative convention and form, while maintaining its heart,” said Francesca Orsi, executive vice-president of programming at HBO, in a statement tied to the series’ renewal.
