Going back to the Euphoria set for Season 3 was a nostalgic yet freeing experience for Jacob Elordi. He likened returning to Nate Jacobs' universe to a surreal balance between familiarity and uncertainty regarding what is to come.

Elordi said, “It was incredibly liberating. I got to play something so sort of far out from what I’ve done before.”

Throughout the years, the cast has developed together with their characters, and so going back to previous storylines is an incentive for more layered performances and more poignant emotional connections. Elordi spoke to the value of authenticity, showing how past decisions shape present behavior and conveying the power of young adulthood.

Season 3 also features a notable time jump, taking the characters from high school to young adulthood. Jacob Elordi previewed the difficulty of that transition by stating,

"I don't know what anyone else is doing. It's all quite separate."

This change enables the series to plot how experiences in the past influence current decisions, relationships, and moral conflicts. Elordi added that the season will take a more cinematic, more introspective approach with foreshadowing of darker, more reflective scenes.

Adult themes will heighten dramatic tensions and enrich emotional journeys, but still maintain Euphoria's visually oriented aesthetics and character-driven narrative. The time jump guarantees new viewpoints while keeping in tune with the series' gritty, high-energy feel.


Season 3 leaves Jacob Elordi’s insights hinting at a season that is both the same and completely new. Along with the time leap, changing character relations and Sam Levinson’s filmic vision allude to a season full of identities, powers, and moral truths. Elordi puts forward the emotional investment of the cast, thus unmasking the level of bond each artist has with their character.

Viewers can count on surprising story twists, powerful emotional acting, and spectacular visual storytelling that actually goes on to advance the limits of television drama.

In the case of a strong, unpredictable storyline, Season 3 cannot do anything but win over the audience; thus, it will be a very intense and unflinching energy of Euphoria that the viewers will experience. The series has been and is going to be a thrilling continuation of a cultural phenomenon.
