HBO’s Euphoria is back with a star-studded lineup for its third season, officially welcoming 18 new cast members.

Among the new faces joining the Emmy-winning teen drama are Trisha Paytas, Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, and filmmaker Eli Roth. The hit series, created by Sam Levinson, will return in spring 2026 with eight new episodes.

Other additions to the Euphoria season 3 cast include Bella Podaras, Bill Bodner, Cailyn Rice, Colleen Camp, Gideon Adlon, Hemky Madera, Homer Gere, Jack Topalian, Jessica Blair Herman, Kwame Patterson, Madison Thompson, Matthew Willig, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Sam Trammell.

Returning favorites include Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Eric Dane, Colman Domingo, and Chloe Cherry. Dominic Fike reprises his role as Elliot, while Nika King returns as Rue’s mother, Leslie, following her brief exclusion from HBO’s early cast list. Alanna Ubach, Sophia Rose Wilson, and Zak Steiner will also appear in season 3.

Behind the camera, four-time Oscar winner Colleen Atwood joins as co-producer, with Natasha Newman-Thomas taking over as costume designer and Francois Audouy as production designer. Music legends Hans Zimmer and Labrinth will collaborate on the soundtrack, promising another powerful audio experience.

Notably absent from the lineup are Austin Abrams, Algee Smith, and Storm Reid, who confirmed that her character Gia won’t return this season. Euphoria continues to follow Rue (Zendaya) and her circle of friends as they navigate addiction, identity, and relationships.

Currently filming in Los Angeles, Euphoria season 3 is one of HBO’s most anticipated releases, following a two-year delay after its record-breaking second season in 2022.
