“Euphoria” Season 3 has been slated for 2025, HBO boss Casey Bloys announced at a press event Thursday morning.
The Sam Levinson series’ title was shown in a sizzle reel that said “Coming in 2025” alongside “The Last of Us” Season 2, “The White Lotus” Season 3 and the “It” prequel series “Welcome to Derry.”
Not much else has been revealed about the upcoming third season of “Euphoria,” except for Levinson teasing in August that he views the next batch of episodes as a “film noir.” The showrunner said that through the eyes of Zendaya’s Rue, he will “explore what it means to be an individual with principles in a corrupt world.”
“Euphoria” stars Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Angus Cloud, Barbie Ferreira and Dominic Fike as troubled high schoolers caught up in a world of drugs, love and crime.

Eric Dane, Storm Reid, Colman Domingo, Javon Walton, Austin Abrams and Nika King also star. In August 2022, Ferreira announced she was leaving “Euphoria” and will not return for the third season. In July of this year, Cloud died at age 25. Production on “Euphoria” Season 3 has not yet begun.
This year, Levinson debuted his other HBO project, “The Idol,” which he co-created with Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye. The controversial series starred Lily-Rose Depp as a fictional pop star named Jocelyn, and Tesfaye as a club magnate and cult leader named Tedros. “The Idol” aired for just five episodes earlier this summer and was canceled by HBO after one season.
HBO also announced Thursday that “House of the Dragon” Season 2 will premiere in early summer 2024, and the network screened a trailer for press at the event. Bloys added that another “Game of Thrones” spinoff, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight,” which is based on George R.R. Martin’s “Dunk and Egg” books, will begin shooting next spring, pending the end of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
