    A new update has been issued in June 2024, with HBO & Max's CEO confirming the core cast will return.

    "Sam is working on it," Bloys said about Season 3 of Euphoria (via Variety). "There's been a lot of back and forth … One of the issues I think that Sam is thinking about is that he doesn't want to have it in high school anymore.

    "That's where it was set and what made sense then. So, when you take it out of that, there's a lot of back and forth about where to set it and how far in the future to set it and all that stuff. But I think he's got a take that she's excited about, and he's busy writing."

  2. What is Euphoria season 3's release date?

    The third season of Euphoria was set to premiere sometime in 2024, as key cast member Zendaya said in 2022 that the air date sounded somewhat 'true'.
