The trailer captures Rue’s struggles as she grapples with her past, saying, “I was beginning to have faith,” only to be confronted by Laurie, indicating potential new threats on her journey. Cassie’s venture into creating NSFW content becomes a source of tension with Nate, who expresses his disapproval, stating, “my bride-to-be is spread eagle on the internet.”
Shifts in the Cast and Future Directions
The new season brings several new faces to the lineup, including:
- Danielle Deadwyler

Returning cast members include Eric Dane, who recently received an ALS diagnosis, Chloe Cherry, Dominic Fike, Nika King, and Colman Domingo. However, fans will miss Storm Reid, Austin Abrams, and Javon Walton from the roster. Angus Cloud, who played Fezco, tragically passed away in July 2023, leaving a notable absence.
Why the Long Wait for Season 3?
The upcoming season marks over four years since Season 2 first aired in 2020. The prolonged hiatus resulted from various factors, including the busy schedules of the cast and the creation of Levinson’s other HBO series, “The Idol.” Additionally, reports suggested challenges in the relationship between Levinson and Zendaya, impacting production timelines.
As fans eagerly await the launch of “Euphoria” on April 12, the narrative promises to dive deeper into the complexities of adulthood, moving beyond the safety net of high school.
