Sam Levinson is finally revealing highly-anticipated details about the new season of Euphoria, which includes a social media addiction and an ‘unforgettable’ wedding.
The creator of the hit HBO Max series shared a sneak peak into the new episodes at an event in London this week, according to the BBC, during which he explained that the beloved young adult characters have matured since season 2, which aired over four years ago.
Updates since season 2
Aligning with the hefty gap between seasons, Euphoria is set to pick up five years after it left off.
Levinson said of pushing the storyline ahead “five years felt like a natural place because if they’d gone to college they’d be out of college at that time”.
For Zendaya’s central addict character Rue, he explained that in the new season she is “south of the (US) border in Mexico, in debt to Laurie (played by Martha Kelly), trying to come up with some very innovative ways to pay it off”.
He also gave an update on the characters Cassie and Nate, played by Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi respectively.
Levinson added: “Cassie and Nate do in fact get married. I’m confirming it. And I promise it will be an unforgettable night.”
“Cassie is living in the suburbs with Nate, they’re engaged and she’s very addicted to social media and envious of what appears to be the big lives that all of her high school classmates are living at this point in time,” Levinson added, adding that their wedding will be “unforgettable” for the show’s audience.
Hunter Schafer’s character Jules will be “in art school” pursuing a career as an artist, and Alexa Demie’s character Maddy will be working in “Hollywood at a talent agency”.
They will be joined by Maude Apatow’s Lexi, who in the new season “is an assistant to a show runner played by Sharon Stone.”

Added to the cast this season will be singer Rosalía and influencer/actress Trisha Paytas, however details pertaining to their roles, storylines and characters are yet to be revealed.
HBO announced that season 3 is set to air in April 2026. This follows a series of controversies, the SAG-AFTRA strike, and writing delays that have created a more than four-year gap between season 2 and 3.
“I feel strongly this is our best season yet,” Levinson added.
He summed up what to expect, saying: “It’s exciting to write this show because there are aspects that I can draw upon in my own life, but at the end of the day, it’s also about telling the story of what it’s like to be out of the safety net of school and trying to figure out who you are in the world and what matters to you.
“The stakes are a bit higher than they were in the past because the consequences are real and no one’s gonna swoop in and save you.”
