Fleeing across the Mexico–United States border, Rue encounters a devout Christian family. Reflecting upon her encounter with the family, and with some prodding from her sponsor, Ali Muhammad, she reconsiders faith in a higher power—her "third step". Lexi tells Rue that Jules Vaughn is sugar dating. Cassie decides to start selling pornographic content on OnlyFans to help pay for her dream wedding. Nate, trying to resurrect his father's construction company, dislikes the idea, but relents after Cassie agrees to hide her face.

Development

[edit source]

Sam Levinson's adaptation of the Israeli television series Euphoria created by Ron Leshem was renewed for a third season on February 4, 2022.[10] On September 19, HBO CEO Casey Bloys said the series would not end after the third season.[11] Production of the season was set to start in February 2023.[12] The producers were aiming for a late 2023 release.[13] However, according to a Vogue interview with Lexi's actress Maude Apatow, filming was set to start in the second half of 2023.[14] On a podcast, series costume designer Heidi Bivens said that preparations would begin in May 2023, with filming starting in June.[15] The season's production was one of many disrupted by the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.[16] Co-producer for half the episodes of season 2, Jeremy O. Harris spoke on the impact it had on the season with Variety, "He's not a scab. David Zaslav [Warner Bros. Discovery CEO], make a deal. That's what I'll say about season 3 of Euphoria. Make a deal, David. It's easy. Just come to that table."[17]

Pre-production for the third season had begun by December 2023.[18][19] On March 12, 2024, Sydney Sweeney said in an MTV interview with Josh Horowitz that filming for the third season was due to "start soon".[20] But on March 25, it was reported that shooting was postponed indefinitely amid speculation that the series would not return.[21] On July 12, HBO announced that cast members had signed on for a third season that would aim for a January 2025 start date.[22] In August, while appearing on an episode Alex Cooper's podcast Call Her Daddy, Hunter Schafer said, "The real tea is I have no fucking idea what's going on" with production on the series' third season.[23] Zendaya said she did not "really have much of an answer" for the future of Euphoria other than it was set to start filming in January 2025.[24] Colman Domingo said that Levinson had "told me some of it, and it's going to be groundbreaking."[25][26]

Angus Cloud's death from a drug overdose on July 31, 2023, impacted Levinson's teleplays.[27] Speaking to The New York Times, he said "I had a good portion of it done before the strike [began in May 2023]. Angus was the backbone of that season. I used to even talk to him about it because I wanted him to stay clean. So I would invite him over and I'd tell him what the plans were for the character. I'd say, look, he's been in prison for a few years, so you've got to get that yoked prison body. Because I wanted him to start working out and taking care of himself. You know, season 1 he was supposed to die at the end and I couldn't do it.[28]

On May 31, 2026, the same day that the final episode of the third season was released, HBO confirmed that the series had concluded after three seasons.[29][30] In an interview with The New York Times, Levinson elaborated on his decision to end the series and stated: "In terms of the story that we set out to tell, which is a story about addiction and its consequences, this feels like the end to me". He noted that the final episode, which features archival footage of Cloud's character Fezco, also acted as a tribute to Cloud and said, "It was a way of honoring Angus and saying a prayer for the future".[31]

So for me, I actually felt good to be like, 'Okay, I get to not worry about this, and we both don't get too worried about this', because it's exhausting."[36] Storm Reid, who portrayed Gia Bennett, was confirmed to not return in November 2024,[37] with Algee Smith and Austin Abrams, who portrayed Chris McKay and Ethan Daley respectively, departing in February 2025.[38][39] Javon Walton's character Ashtray died in season 2.[40] Dominic Fike's character Elliot was reported to appear in the season, but did not.[41]

Season 2 guest stars Martha Kelly and Chloe Cherry, who portrayed Laurie and Faye Valentine respectively, were promoted to the main cast. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Toby Wallace also joined the main cast as Alamo Brown and Wayne.[42] Rosalía, Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch, Kadeem Hardison, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, Anna Van Patten, Sharon Stone and Asante Blackk were also announced to have joined the cast in recurring roles.[43][44] Lynch, Britt-Gibson, and Black all initially auditioned for the role of Alamo before being assigned their parts.[45] Rosalía's song "Malamente" had appeared in season 1 episode five "'03 Bonnie and Clyde,[46] and she co-wrote "Lo Vas a Olvidar" with Billie Eilish for the 2021 special episode "Fuck Anyone Who's Not a Sea Blob".[47] Hardison previously worked with Zendaya on her Disney Channel series K.C. Undercover, playing her character's father, Craig Cooper.[48] In October, Colleen Camp, Gideon Adlon, Hemky Madera, Homer Gere, Jack Topalian, Jessica Blair Herman, Madison Thompson, Matthew Willig, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Sam Trammell joined the cast in more recurring roles.[49]

Filming

[edit source]

Principal photography for season 3 began in January 2025 and wrapped on November 15.[50][51] The scenes set inside the strip club were shot first, in January.[52][53] Filming was officially announced on February 10.[54][55][56] Zendaya and Priscilla Delgado were spotted filming a scene from episode 2 on February 28.[57] In March, Demie was shooting scenes from episode 5 with Akinnuoye-Agbaje.[58] Domingo filmed some of his scenes involving Zendaya in March and returned to film the rest in July.[59] Elordi and Dane started shooting in April.[60][61] The wedding scenes were shot at the end of April.[62] As a result of her busy schedule, Zendaya was forced to shoot all her scenes in a truncated timeline, saying: "It was a whirlwind. I did what I do in eight months in like four months. It was like trying to get eight episodes in at once. It just flew by me".[63] She wrapped her scenes in June.[64] Fike reportedly filmed a scene in September 2025, while Schafer was also filming.[65] Elordi wrapped his scenes in October and Sweeney filmed her final scenes in November.[66][67][68]

The season was shot entirely on Kodak film stock.[69] While the specials and season 2 were shot entirely in Super 35,[70] season 3 was shot on 35 mm film with Arricam LT cameras and Panavision anamorphic lenses, and on 65 mm film with the Arriflex 765.[69] Kodak created a film stock, Verita 200D 5206, in both formats specifically for the season.[69][71] The aspect ratio also changed: season 1 was mostly in 16:9, season 2 mostly in widescreen, and season 3 is mostly in CinemaScope.[72] Levinson said: "Giving it a bit more objectivity [..] I wanted to kind of open up the frame a little bit more and—and feel the world around [the characters] and sometimes how small they are. And it—it just added to the danger and also just thematically, you know, the idea that we're kind of getting outside of the emotional melodramatic aspects of psychology and more into what real life is."[73]

Location shooting for the season took place at sites including a horse community in Lancaster, California,[74] a tobacco shop on Victory Boulevard in Van Nuys, Grauman's Chinese Theatre on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Valli Tropics Apartments in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, Warner Bros.

Euphoria season 3 was met with a mixed response from critics, with praise limited to the ensemble's acting and the visuals, but criticism of its writing, pacing, characterization, tone, music, and handling of mature subject matter. The critical consensus on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reads, "Euphoria returns with less than the sum of its parts in a disjointed cavalcade of forced narratives that leave its talented cast stranded in the wind." The season has an overall approval rating of 44%, with an average rating of 5.8/10 based on 76 critical reviews.[94] Using a weighted average, Metacritic assigned the season a score of 56 out of 100, based on 27 critics, which it describes as "Mixed or Average".[95]

Caryn James wrote for BBC News: "the show has lost its zeitgeisty edge. Euphoria has become a series with very little to say, none of it very audacious or compelling."[96] David Opie of Digital Spy wrote, "Euphoria was a striking, standout coming-of-age drama, but the new season doesn't capture its magic. The show hasn't grown up in the same way that these kids supposedly have."[97] Empire's Al Horner wrote, "some constants remain, the good and bad of Euphoria past. This is still a sumptuously-shot show, not to mention a well-acted one: Zendaya in particular is in formidable form once more, letting glints of sadness surface from beneath Rue's veneer of languid detachment. Less appealing is how the camera still hovers longingly over shots of its female characters' bodies, as one-by-one, Levinson's scripts nudge them into sex work and skimpy costumes. A common criticism of the showrunner is that there's seldom much insight or commentary to go with the degradation of the women in his work. Two episodes into Euphoria Season 3, that criticism is yet to be answered."[98] In a positive review for The Independent, Nick Hilton called the season a "generation-defining show paints a clear-eyed, unflattering portrait of modern America."[99]

Sam Levinson's writing and Hans Zimmer's score were criticized.

Several reviewers criticized the season's shift in tone and genre from the first two seasons. Alyssa Mora of IGN called the season a "stark disappointment", writing, "While the cast does its best with the material, the show has become an off-the-rails crime drama with little resemblance to the series fans have come to enjoy."[100] Shirley Li wrote in The Atlantic, "As I watched, I often thought of Industry, another scandalous HBO drama that evolved significantly in its latest outing. On that show, the major investment bank the young protagonists worked for closed, leaving the tight-knit group scattered and prompting a major cast member to exit the series. Industry has thrived in its reinvention, however, in large part because it expanded its scope beyond the trading floor and challenged its characters' beliefs about wealth and power. Euphoria doesn't interrogate how the passage of time has affected its ensemble—why and how they've changed, beyond the job titles and social status they've acquired. If anything, the ensemble now resembles caricatures of scandalous 20-somethings. The fragile world that Euphoria built—a world that improbably balanced the shocking with the heartfelt—has collapsed."[101]

Critics and viewers panned Zimmer's score.[102][103] Carly Thomas of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "No one is criticizing Zimmer's abilities; his credits and accolades speak for themselves. But when a show's unique tone has already been established, like what Labrinth originated in the first two seasons, a sudden sonic shift to stray away from that sound can cause whiplash for viewers. That's apparent even in just the first half of season three." Music supervisor Kier Lehman told the magazine: "that's important, especially in a longer series, to establish a sound and themes for characters or themes for situations, [...] And of course, that's going to evolve as the series goes on, but I think it's also really helpful in helping the audience and grounding the audience in the show."[104] Decider wrote: "Instead of Labrinth's stylish needle drops and timely musical picks that grounded the series as a moody teen drama, this dramatic season has been backed by several tranquil melodies fans are describing as 'all inclusive resort elevator ass music.'"[105]

[edit source]

On linear television, the third season of Euphoria has an average of 366,000 US viewers per episode. Including people watching on HBO Max, season 3 logged over 25,000,000 views.[106]
