Fan reactions to Euphoria Season 3 started pouring in after HBO's official first look

Four years is a lot but creator Sam Levinson is finally back with Euphoria Season 3, the next chapter of his breakout teen psychological drama series. The third chapter will check in with Rue and all her East Highland friends, as they navigate the complications of adulthood while exploring their changing relationships and careers after a five-year time jump.

HBO has officially unveiled the first look at Euphoria Season 3, which starts with an exciting voice-over by Zendaya's Rue:

''Few years after high school, I don't know if life was exactly what I wished.''

This voice-over is followed by rapid shots of all the main characters and their lives after five years. While the cast is keeping the plot details of the third chapter under wraps for now, Season 3 will follow Nate, Cassie, Maddie, Lexi, Jules and Ruse as they transition into adulthood and figure out their lives. As the series protagonist, Euphoria Season 3 will have a special focus on Rue, who will initiate her journey to sobriety and self-exploration in the latest season.

The rapidly changing clips and first looks from Euphoria Season 3 are naturally making rounds on social media and fans are excited to check in with their favorite characters after four years.

Riding on Euphoria’s success, the cast has seen their careers skyrocket, with a new generation of viewers about to discover the characters for the first time. A Reddit user rightfully pointed out the popularity of the cast:

''It's kinda extraordinary to me that despite never having seen Euphoria and not being particularly in tune with pop culture, I recognize everyone here. I suppose it speaks to the level of success (at least in terms of online exposure) of this cast.''

Another user chimed in, talking about the very dark but important issues of addiction amongst teens, impressively explored in the series. While many viewers found the show’s exploration of s*x and dr*g addiction dark and potentially triggering, a large section of the audience felt these themes were handled with nuance and purpose. The user wrote:

''It's pretty disturbing and has its problems, but i do think it is a great show that delves in some very interesting and serious topics. i especially love the way it showcases drug addiction.''

Since Euphoria Season 3 will pick up after a five-year time jump, fans are trying to decode their favorite characters' lives. While some think Jules will be working as an artist/fashion designer, others think Maddy and Lexi will be off to Hollywood.

This is what Reddit users are speculating about their favorite characters:

''Girl THATS the art jules makes? I thought she made a living from it'' commented one user

''Lexie was crazy into plays / tv last season. Given she's the only one hitting the books in the school years, it's not surprising she seems to have a successful career. She might be an AD or something. Not sure what to expect with Maddie being there tho. But as someone who's worked on sets - thats the vibe Lexie is giving off. Something to do with production.'' another user shared an interesting theory about Lexi and Maddie

However, Nate and Cassie's lives will take the most shocking turn as Levinson earlier confirmed that the characters will be married to each other in the upcoming season. Since Cassie and Nate had their fair share of ups and downs in the previous seasons, their married life would surely be exciting in Euphoria Season 3.

Euphoria Season 3 will debut on HBO in April 2026.
