The highly anticipated third season of HBO's 'Euphoria' is set to hit screens in 2026, and the rumor mill is already swirling with provocative tidbits. Unconfirmed reports suggest that fans might see more nudity than ever before, with whispers of Sydney Sweeney's character, Cassie Howard, getting an OnlyFans account. It's a tantalizing thought for a show known for pushing boundaries.
These sensational rumors emerge as 'Euphoria' prepares to make a grand return in spring 2026 after a nearly four-year hiatus. This break, a result of Hollywood's labor strikes and the heartbreaking loss of Angus Cloud, may be the reason the show is looking to reignite its spark with audiences.
“Judging by the initial sneak peeks, it feels like everyone on the pay cable show will be naked at all times to try and get people to watch after the long absence,” according to a blind item shared on 26 November.
Season 3 of 'Euphoria' promises more than just tantalizing plot twists. A time jump will bring our beloved characters out of high school, perhaps paving the way for Cassie's potential OnlyFans venture. Filming kicked off in Los Angeles in February 2025 and wrapped up in November, with the upcoming season comprising eight episodes. It's expected to be the show's swan song.
The show's return is set against a backdrop of industry-wide delays due to the 2023 Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes, as well as creator Sam Levinson's involvement in the controversial HBO show 'The Idol.' HBO's Head of Drama, Francesca Orsi, hinted at a satisfying conclusion, saying, “I think you will be very satisfied with this season, and how we bring each of the characters' whole narrative.”
Fans can look forward to seeing much of the main cast back in action. Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow are all returning. Colman Domingo will guest star, while Martha Kelly and Chloe Cherry step up as series regulars. New faces include Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Toby Wallace, who join as series regulars.
However, the new season will poignantly address the absence of Angus Cloud, who tragically passed away in July 2023. His character, Fezco, will be dearly missed. Also not returning are Barbie Ferreira, citing creative differences, and Storm Reid, along with Austin Abrams, who leaves behind his role as Ferreira's on-screen partner.
