Grab your face glitter.
The release date for Euphoria season three has officially been revealed. That's right, the HBO Max series is returning to TV screens in April 2026, the streaming platform confirmed on Instagram Dec. 3.
And that's not all that was unveiled about the upcoming installment, which is arriving nearly four years after the previous season. Alongside the update, HBO also shared a photo of Zendaya as her character Rue, wearing her signature black hi-top Converse and sitting in an old pickup truck while smiling for the camera.
Captioning the snap, HBO wrote, "Let's ride."
Of course, Zendaya isn't the only star from the series who is returning for the third and final season. Sydney Sweeney (Cassie), Jacob Elordi (Nate), Hunter Schafer (Jules), Alexa Demie (Maddy) and Maude Apatow (Lexi) all signed on to reprise their roles in the teen drama.
Plus, Grammy winner Rosalía, former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch and A Different World star Kadeem Hardison will be added to the mix for this season's story, which kicks off years after the events of season two.
For Rosalía, venturing into the world of acting for the Sam Levinson-created show was a no-brainer.
“If there's anything that excites me as much as finding a good melody or a good lyric, it's becoming a better performer every day,” Rosalía said in a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter) Feb. 14. “Euphoria has been my favorite series of the last few years and I couldn't be happier and more grateful to be acting alongside all these colleagues that I admire so much and contributing my ‘granito de arena’ to bring Sam's vision to reality."
She added, "I can't wait to share what we're doing!!!”
Indeed, fans have a lot of surprises in store for them with the third season, with Sam saying he "feels strongly" that what's to come is "the best season yet."
"I will say that Cassie and Nate do in fact get married. I’m confirming it," Sam told Variety in an interview published Dec. 3. "And I promise that it will be an unforgettable night.”
"Jules is in art school, very nervous about having a career as a painter and trying to avoid responsibility at all costs," the director continued. "Maddy is working in Hollywood at a talent agency for a manager, she’s obviously got her own side hustles going. And Lexi is an assistant to a showrunner played by Sharon Stone, who is just absolutely delightful and a true icon.”
Plus, Sydney previously teased one additional exciting thing they can expect from the show, telling E! News in October, "Dildos."
“Hold on to those dildos,” she joked, adding that there will, of course, be tears from her character as well. “It’s Cassie, what do you expect?”
