In an exciting update for fans of HBO’s acclaimed series ‘Euphoria’, Zendaya, who stars as Rue Bennett, has shared intriguing insights into what viewers can expect from the much-anticipated third season.
Speaking recently to ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, Zendaya revealed that there will be a significant time jump between the second and third seasons of Euphoria, a development that she believes is essential for the storyline.
Zendaya explained, “It’s important because there’s only so much high school drama you can deal with. And then she cheats on her boyfriend again!”
As both an executive producer and lead actress, Zendaya noted that while she doesn’t have complete clarity on the season’s plot, the time jump offers a unique opportunity to explore her character and the rest of the cast in a new light.
“It will be fascinating to see and understand these characters outside of the context of high school,” she stated. The actress expressed her curiosity about how the experiences of their formative years will influence their adult lives, making the narrative feel even more relatable.

While specific details about the storyline remain under wraps, the anticipation for ‘Euphoria’’s return continues to build. Zendaya’s co-stars, including Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow, are likely to reprise their roles.
However, the show will be without Barbie Ferreira, who announced her departure, and it will also be marked by the tragic loss of Angus Cloud, who passed away from an accidental overdose in July 2023.
Sydney Sweeney, known for her portrayal of Cassie Howard, also shared her enthusiasm about diving back into her character. Reflecting on the extended gap between seasons, Sweeney noted, “We did have a long time between season one and season two, but especially now with the time jump, it’s a new process for me.”
She expressed a sense of discovery in the role, stating, “I’m kind of just learning as I go and being open for whatever’s to come. But I’m also really excited. I love Cassie. She is always such a thrilling character to play, so I’m really looking forward to what’s gonna happen in her life.”
In March, HBO announced a delay in the production of ‘Euphoria’ Season 3, emphasizing their commitment to delivering a high-quality season that meets the expectations of its dedicated fanbase. With production beginning in January 2025, the network clearly invests in ensuring that the upcoming episodes will provide a captivating continuation of the series.
