RUE’S D.E.A.D.L.Y NEW CHAPTER: FIRST EUPHORIA SEASON 3 FOOTAGE REVEALS A CARTEL NIGHTMARE!

The third season of HBO’s Euphoria is one of the most highly anticipated dramas of next year, but it won’t arrive until spring, which may be too far away for many. There’s exciting news, though! HBO Max has officially unveiled a snippet of the chaos ahead when the show returns, particularly teasing some trouble for Zendaya’s Rue. Euphoria Season 3 is expected in April 2026, with no exact date announced yet. However, we can confirm that production began on February 10, 2025, in Los Angeles and wrapped in November 2025.

As seen in the clip below, Rue is on the run and keeps looking back. “A few years after high school, I don’t know if life was exactly what I wished,” she says in the background. Another scene shows the troubled character walking into a club, and a man (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), sitting in a booth surrounded by women, says to her, “You walk up into my house, and you don’t even introduce yourself.” Akinnuoye-Agbaje is a new series regular who is “a ruthless kingpin” in the new season of Euphoria, which also features a couple of other industry favorites.

The Euphoria Season 3 footage also shows glimpses of the other lead characters besides Rue: Lexi Howard (Maude Apatow), Maddy Perez (Alexa Demie), Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi), Cassie Howard (Sydney Sweeney), and Jules Vaughn (Hunter Schafer). Speaking of the new additions, musician Rosalía, Super Bowl football champion Marshawn Lynch, and Kadeem Hardison were announced back in February. Others include Darrell Britt-Gibson (She Taught Love), Priscilla Delgado (Julieta), James Landry Hébert (1883), and Anna Van Patten (Gossip Girl), all of whom have notable guest star roles. Sharon Stone is also set to make an appearance in Season 3.
