Most of the main cast is returning, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie and Maude Apatow. Martha Kelly and Chloe Cherry have both been upped to series regulars. Colman Domingo is also returning as a guest star.
Nika King, Austin Abrams and Algee Smith are missing from HBO’s list of returning cast members as well as Storm Reid, who said in November that her character, Rue’s sister Gia, would not be featured in upcoming episodes. Barbie Ferreira, who played Kat, exited the series in August 2022.
Some new crew has boarded the series for its third season as well, including four-time Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, who joins as a co-producer. Natasha Newman-Thomas joins as costume designer, and Francois Audouy as production designer.
The long-delayed, eight-episode third season of “Euphoria” will take place years after the events of Season 2, taking the characters out of high school. The second season premiered in January 2022 and, at the time, was HBO’s second-most watched show behind “Game of Thrones.”
From creator, writer, director and executive producer Sam Levinson, the series has received 25 Emmy nominations, winning nine trophies.
