The news comes after HBO‘s executive vice president and Head of Drama Francesca Orsi hinted that season three would likely mark the end of the hit teen drama series.
In a recent chat with Deadline Hollywood, she noted that the door’s still being left open for a potential continuation, but that season three is expected to be Euphoria‘s last: “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.”
Little is known of season three, except that “a time jump” will be involved, and that it will consist of eight episodes, which are due to arrive in 2026. It is also currently unclear how Euphoria‘s third season will deal with storylines surrounding actor Angus Cloud, who died in August 2023.
The new cast update comes after it was revealed that production on the long-delayed series had finally begun, offering a first look at Zendaya’s Rue.
