[Official Trailer] "Return After 4 Years"... 'Euphoria' Season 3 Confirmed to Premiere on April 12

The controversial HBO series 'Euphoria' that took the world by storm is returning after a four-year hiatus, darker and more mature than ever.

According to HBO and foreign media on the 15th (Korean time), 'Euphoria' Season 3 is confirmed to premiere on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 9 PM (ET/PT). This season, consisting of a total of 8 episodes, teased the story set five years after high school graduation through the official trailer released the day before (14th).

◆ Five Years Later, A More Corrupted Reality

Producer Sam Levinson defined this season as "Film Noir". The protagonist Rue (played by Zendaya) is still entangled in debt issues with drug dealer Laurie, showing a precarious stance against dealers.

The most shocking change is the couple Cassie and Nate. Cassie (played by Sydney Sweeney) is producing adult content online, while her fiancé Nate (played by Jacob Elordi) expresses his dissatisfaction, saying, "While I work, my fiancée is spreading her legs on the internet," hinting at a provocative narrative.

◆ Those Who Left and Those Who Returned, Along with New Faces

Led by the two-time Emmy Award winner Zendaya, original members including Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, and Sydney Sweeney are returning. Notably, Eric Dane (as Cal Jacobs), who has recently been diagnosed with ALS, has confirmed his return despite health issues, drawing attention. On the other hand, some actors like Barbie Ferreira and Storm Reid have departed.

The new faces are also impressive. Hollywood legend Sharon Stone, pop star Rosalía, YouTuber Trisha Paytas, and Natasha Lyonne are among the 18 new cast members joining to heighten the tension of the drama.

◆ First-Ever 65mm Film Shooting for a TV Series

An innovation in visual aesthetics has also been teased. HBO stated, "Season 3 is the first narrative TV series to shoot a significant portion on 65mm film" and explained, "We expanded the screen to capture the characters' journey into a wider and rougher world."

Four years after the conclusion of Season 2 in 2022. As 'Euphoria' depicted the anxieties of teenagers, the world is focused on how it will portray their corruption and redemption as adults on April 12.
