According to production, Season 3 will pick up where Season 2 left off, and fans can expect most of the all-star ensemble to return. Hunter Schafer (Jules), Jacob Elordi (Nate), Alexa Demie (Maddy), Algee Smith (Chris), Sydney Sweeney (Cassie), Maude Apatow (Lexi), Storm Reid (Gia), Nika King (Leslie), Austin Abrams (Ethan), Colman Domingo (Ali), and Dominic Fike (Elliot) are all returning alongside Zendaya (Rue) in the upcoming season.
However, Kat's portrayer Barbie Ferreira announced in August 2022 that she would not return for Season 3. She broke the news via Instagram, writing, “After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character Kat, I'm having to say a very teary-eyed goodbye."
Other featured actors in the series include Javon “Wanna” Walton (Ashtray), Eric Dane (Cal), Alanna Ubach (Suze), Paula Marshall (Marsha), John Ales (David), Tyler Chase (Custer), and Chloe Cherry (Faye).

As of now, “Euphoria” hasn’t announced a Season 3 premiere date, and unfortunately, it appears the third season will be coming later than anticipated.
In a recent Vogue feature with Apatow, who is spending her off-season playing Audrey in Off-Broadway’s “Little Shop of Horrors,” the actor revealed she hasn’t seen a script yet for Season 3 and that filming isn’t scheduled to begin until the “latter half of 2023.”
“I honestly don’t know a single thing,” Apatow told Vogue. “We should be getting scripts and hearing about next season soon-ish, but I’m totally in the dark!”
Even with the production delay, last season’s timeline may be able to point us toward a new season estimate. Season 2 was filmed in Los Angeles for seven months between April and November 2021, followed by its premiere in January 2022. If filming for Season 3 begins in the fall, we’re likely to see a Summer of Fall 2024 premiere on HBO.
