Euphoria fans have been a bit disheartened with anything related to the third season, but not anymore, as those who will return for the drama‘s finale and a bit about what we can expect have been confirmed.
Casey Bloys, HBO executive, not only disclosed who will be back for the new episodes but also revealed that the plot will have a time jump. Filming is set to take place in late 2024, with the premiere slated for 2025.
As we might have suspected, Zendaya (Dune and Challengers) will return to portray Rue Bennett for one last time on screen. Sam Levinson, the show’s creator, is giving his all to ensure the drama has a grand finale.

It’s official! After several months of speculation about the cast of the third season of Euphoria, we can now confirm that the main stars of the show will be back for the highly anticipated finale of HBO’s series.
This means that Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney and Alexa Demie have all confirmed their presence for the new batch of episodes. Undoubtedly, this won’t come cheap for the production team.

The fact that the production start has taken so long is because both the creator and the actors and the team behind it want to make sure everything goes more than well, especially because it will be the last season.
Casey Bloys not only informed that the stars would return but also spoke with Variety about this and about what is happening behind the scenes of the project. There he talked about Sam Levinson and said:
“One of the issues I think that Sam is thinking about is that he doesn’t want to have it in high school anymore. That’s where it was set and what made sense then. So when you take it out of that, there’s a lot of back and forth about where to set it and how far in the future to set it and all that stuff. But I think he’s got a take that he’s excited about, and he’s busy writing”.

In addition to the main figures of the show, it has been confirmed that Oscar nominee Colman Domingo will return to reprise his role as Ali, a man who becomes a mentor and a supportive figure for Rue.
The character is a member of the narcotics recovery group that Rue attends, and his relationship with her is essential to her emotional development and struggles with addiction throughout the series.
He offers her advice, shares his own experience with addiction, and challenges Rue to face her problems and seek a better life. He is known for his wisdom, sincerity and compassion.
