Zendaya Believes 'Euphoria' Season Three Will Be the Show's Last

During a candid interview on The Drew Barrymore Show Monday, Zendaya confirmed what many fans have suspected: the third season of HBO's critically acclaimed series Euphoria will likely serve as its final chapter.

When host Drew Barrymore directly asked whether the upcoming season would conclude the series, Zendaya responded with certainty, stating "I think so, yeah." While she refrained from providing extensive details, the actress acknowledged that viewers could expect resolution, telling Barrymore, "That closure is coming."

HBO has not yet issued an official statement regarding the future of Euphoria beyond Season Three, with network representatives declining to provide additional comment when contacted.

Reflection on the Show's Impact

Throughout the interview, Zendaya offered heartfelt reflections on her transformative experience portraying Rue Bennett, the show's complex protagonist struggling with addiction and mental health challenges. The Emmy-winning actress described feeling "proud" of her work on the series, emphasizing how the role fundamentally changed her perspective.

"[The show] cracked my heart open," Zendaya shared. "Rue taught me so much about life. That crew has also seen me grow up. I owe so much to that show. Rue taught me so much about empathy and redemption. I'm very grateful for all of it."

Season Three Details

Euphoria Season Three is scheduled to premiere this weekend on April 12, marking a significant return after a four-year hiatus since the acclaimed second season. The upcoming episodes will feature the return of the core ensemble cast, including Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Colman Domingo, and Eric Dane, who appears in one of his final performances following his passing earlier this year.

Notably, Season Three will be the first installment without Angus Cloud, who portrayed fan-favorite character Fez before his death in July 2023. The season will also introduce several high-profile newcomers, including Sharon Stone, Rosalía, and Eli Roth, bringing fresh dynamics to the established narrative.
