It\u2019s hard to believe at this point but it\u2019s true: Euphoria<\/a> is coming back for Season 3<\/a>, and HBO Max<\/a> has released the first footage from the upcoming return. <\/p>\n

In the sneak peek \u2014 which is part of HBO Max’s overall 2026 teaser \u2014 Zendaya\u2019s character, Rue Bennett, can be seen dancing with a group of women before kneeling down in a church pew and looking up at the altar. \u201cThere\u2019s no turning back,\u201d she says in the clip. Next, we see her running for dear life, turning her head to look behind her for someone or something on her tail (knowing Rue, this is probably drug money related). <\/p>\n

Hard launching 2026. <\/p>\n

From there, we see a car driving recklessly in the desert before it cuts to Lexi (Maude Apatow) shmoozing with a table full of men at a fancy party, Maddy (Alexa Demie) putting on makeup, Nate (Jacob Elordi) dancing in front of a living room TV with his button-down shirt open, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) beaming in an animal costume, and Jules (Hunter Schaefer) sighing and leaning her head back on a chair. \u201cA few years after high school, I don\u2019t know if life was exactly what I wished,\u201d Rue explains over the visuals. <\/p>\n

Then, we see Rue and a new character driving recklessly once again in that aforementioned car. In a separate shot, the new character \u2014 a man in a cowboy hat who is sitting between two beautiful women \u2014 tells Rue, \u201cYou walk up into my house and you don\u2019t even introduce yourself.\u201d It seems like he’s probably a bad dude, but who’s to say just yet. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s definitely going to be a bit of a time jump here \u2014 and frankly, how could there not be with how much time it\u2019s taken to produce Season 3, over four years since Season 2 premiered \u2014 so it\u2019ll be interesting to see how the show tackles that inevitability, especially considering how many new storylines and characters it\u2019s going to give us. It\u2019s a lot, so we\u2019re curious to see if the show falters or continues to fly. <\/p>\n

Season 3 of the once beloved series doesn\u2019t yet have an exact release date but, as of now, it will be arriving in April of next year. <\/p>\n
