After over four years, Sam Levinson‘s “Euphoria” returns to HBO next Spring. And THR reports that Season 3, still in production in LA, has filled out the entirety of its cast sheet. Let’s take a look at who will join Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Jacob Elordi on the long-delayed new batch of episodes.

Get ready, because the cast sheet is quite lengthy. Danielle Deadwyler leads newcomers, and graces the show’s new first-look photo (check it out below). Other new additions to the ensemble in S3 include Bella Podaras, Bill Bodner, Cailyn Rice, Colleen Camp, Eli Roth, Gideon Adlon, Hemky Madera, Homer Gere, Jack Topalian, Jessica Blair Herman, Kwame Patterson, Madison Thompson, Matthew Willig, Natasha Lyonne, Rebecca Pidgeon, Sam Trammell, and Trisha Paytas.
That batch joins the previously announced new cast members Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Toby Wallace, Sharn Stone, ROSALÍA, Marshawn Lynch, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Kadeem Hardison, Pricilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, Anna Van Patten, and Asante Blackk.
All told, that’s 28 new names on S3 cast sheet, a number that should hint at the scope of Levinson’s vision. Those names join returning cast members Zendaya, Sweeney, Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, and Colman Domingo.
Alanna Ubach, Daeg Faerch, Dominic Fike, Melvin Bonez Estes, Nika King, Paula Marshall, Sophia Rose Wilson, and Zak Steiner are also confirmed to return in the new announcement.
The story of “Euphoria” S3 is already well-documented. The reasons behind the show’s long hiatus are plentiful: an increasingly in-demand cast and their busy schedules; Levinson’s poorly-received limited series for HBO, “The Idol“; and friction between Zendaya and Levinson over his initial S3 scripts. All that is in the rearview mirror, though, as production on S3 started in LA back in February. Zendaya also revealed last year that the new season features a time jump, with Rue and her cohort out of high school and navigating uncertain futures around Los Angeles, and possibly elsewhere.
Also of note: Storm Reid, who played Rue’s sister on the program, won’t be back for S3. Neither will Angus Cloud, who played beloved drug dealer Fezco; he passed away on July 31, 2023 of a drug overdose. Fezco’s storyline ended “Euphoria” S2 on a major cliffhanger, so it’ll be curious how Levinson navigates the character’s absence.
Stay tuned for an official release date for the new season of “Euphoria” as 2026 approaches. The eight-episode S3, like the past two, is a Sam Levinson joint all around: he creates, writes, directs, and executive produces the show, produced in partnership with A24.
