After more than four years, Euphoria finally has a return date.
On Wednesday, HBO announced that season 3 of creator Sam Levinson's buzzy teen drama will premiere in April 2026.
The season 2 finale aired in February 2022.
Thankfully, the series will feature a major time jump when season 3 begins, and Levinson promised "this is our best season yet" as he revealed new details about where each of the characters are at the start of the new episodes.

"Five years felt like a natural place because if they'd gone to college they'd be out of college at that time," the creator said during an HBO Max presentation in London on Wednesday, according to Variety. "We basically pick up Rue [Zendaya] south of the border in Mexico, in debt to [drug dealer] Laurie [Martha Kelly], trying to come up with some very innovative ways to pay it off."

Levinson added that the new season will feature a wedding for Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate (Jacob Elordi), who have stayed together since high school ended.
"Cassie is living in the suburbs with Nate, they're engaged, and she's very addicted to social media and envious of what appears to be the big lives that all of her high school classmates are living at this point in time," Levinson said. "I will say that Cassie and Nate do in fact get married. I'm confirming it. And I promise that it will be an unforgettable night."
As for those "big lives" of the other characters post-time jump, the creator revealed that Jules (Hunter Schafer) "is in art school, very nervous about having a career as a painter, and trying to avoid responsibility at all costs."
As for Maddy, (Alexa Demie), Levinson said that she "is working in Hollywood at a talent agency for a manager, she's obviously got her own side hustles going. And Lexi [Maude Apatow] is an assistant to a showrunner played by Sharon Stone, who is just absolutely delightful and a true icon."

Also returning for season 3 are original stars Eric Dane, Colman Domingo, Chloe Cherry, Dominic Fike, and Nika King. Newcomers include Rosalía, Trisha Paytas, Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth, Marshawn Lynch, and Sam Trammell.
Past Euphoria stars who won't return for season 3 include Barbie Ferreira, who announced a "teary-eyed goodbye" to her character Kat Hernandez following the season 2 finale, as well as the late Angus Cloud, who played the sensitive drug dealer Fezco and died of an accidental overdose in July 2023.
Elordi previously told Entertainment Weekly that Nate's primary goal in season 3 is just to "survive," adding that the character's arc will involve "the end of hubris" and "the end of arrogance."
"It's a real treat to be a part of that show, and to play the quote-unquote bad guy," he added. "It's always more fun. You don't wanna play some morally superior, world-saving loser."
