About the series, she also added,

“I grew up with all these people. I filmed the pilot when I was 20 and season one when I was 21, so it’s definitely a crazy experience having a character with you for so long. I get the privilege of working with a lot of the same crew and the cast for such a long amount of time and that usually doesn’t happen.”

Euphoria Season 3 has been creating a lot of buzz since it was renewed in 2022. The filming for the upcoming season began in February 2025 in Los Angeles. The series is expected to premiere in spring 2026 with eight episodes.

While speaking about Euphoria Season 3, Jacob Elordi shared that the experience has been incredible. As perVariety he said,

“Everybody shoots at different storylines. I don’t know what anyone else is doing. I had a really singular storyline. You don’t know what the other story lines are. It’s like FBI files. So it’s great because I’ll get to consume the show the same way that everybody else does as a fan, which I haven’t been able to do before. I’m really excited.”

Euphoria is available on HBO Max. Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming season of the hit series.
