The official trailer for Euphoria Season 3 has been released. It dropped on January 14, 2026, giving fans their first full look at the long-awaited new episodes. The season premieres April 12 on HBO and HBO Max. After a teaser in late 2025, this trailer shows more of the story and confirms the five-year time jump from Season 2.
Zendaya returns as Rue Bennett. The trailer picks up with Rue in Mexico, still in debt to drug dealer Laurie. She looks for ways to pay it off. Rue reveals parts of the trailer, hinting at ongoing struggles with addiction and life after high school. The footage shows her running, hiding, and facing new dangers. It feels darker than before, with shots of tense moments and high-stakes choices.
The main cast is back for most roles. Sydney Sweeney plays Cassie Howard. In the trailer, Cassie and Nate Jacobs, played by Jacob Elordi, are married and living in the suburbs. Cassie seems hooked on social media and jealous of her old classmates’ lives.
Hunter Schafer is Jules Vaughn, now in art school and dealing with career nerves. Alexa Demie returns as Maddy Perez, working at a talent agency in Hollywood with side projects. Maude Apatow is Lexi Howard, working as an assistant for a showrunner.
Other returning actors include Eric Dane as Cal Jacobs, Colman Domingo as Ali, Chloe Cherry as Faye, and Martha Kelly as Laurie. New faces join too.
Rosalía, Natasha Lyonne, Sharon Stone, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth, and Marshawn Lynch appear in the cast list. Their roles stay under wraps, but the trailer hints at fresh dynamics.
The story moves five years forward. The characters are out of high school and into adult life. Creator Sam Levinson has called this the best season yet. He said the time jump lets them explore what comes after teen years.
Some paths lead to success, others to more trouble. Rue’s debt drives much of the early plot. Cassie and Nate’s marriage gets focus, with Levinson teasing it as an unforgettable night.
The trailer mixes intense scenes with the show’s signature style. Bright colors, quick cuts, and Labrinth’s music return. Hans Zimmer joins the score this time, adding new layers. The visuals show parties, quiet moments, and high-tension runs.
Fans have waited over four years since Season 2 ended in 2022. Delays came from strikes, rewrites, and other issues. Production started in early 2025 and wrapped late that year.
The long gap built huge anticipation. Social media filled with reactions right after the trailer. Many said it looks intense and true to the series. Others noted the grown-up feel.
Some cast members from earlier seasons sit out. Barbie Ferreira, Storm Reid, and others are not returning. The late Angus Cloud, who played Fezco, is missed. The show plans to honour him.
This trailer builds excitement for April 12. It promises more drama, raw moments, and the emotional depth that made Euphoria a hit. The series follows teens dealing with addiction, identity, love, and trauma. Season 3 shifts to young adulthood but keeps the core struggles.
HBO has teased more looks soon. The eight-episode run will air weekly. For now, the trailer gives a solid taste of what’s coming. Fans can stream it on HBO Max. Mark the calendar for April 12. It should be a big return.
