HBO has officially released the first trailer for the long-awaited third season of its hit series Euphoria, offering fans a glimpse into the next chapter of the acclaimed drama. The new season is set to premiere in April 2026, nearly four years after the second season aired in 2022.
The trailer was unveiled as part of a larger HBO promotional video highlighting the network’s programming slate for 2026. Among the most attention-grabbing moments is new footage featuring the show’s central characters, signaling a darker and more mature continuation of the story.
The teaser confirms a five-year time jump, with Rue Bennett (Zendaya) reflecting on life after high school. “There’s no going back. A few years after high school, I don’t know if life turned out exactly the way I wanted it to,” Rue says in a voiceover that sets the emotional tone of the season.
Visually, the trailer is packed with dramatic imagery. Rue is seen dancing in a nightclub, sitting alone in a church, and running through city streets as if being pursued. Other key characters also appear briefly: Nate (Jacob Elordi) dancing with his shirt open, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Jules (Hunter Schafer) in tense and intimate moments, Lexi at a wedding, and Maddy appearing serious and contemplative.
While HBO has not revealed specific plot details, the trailer suggests an intense and emotionally charged season that explores the characters’ lives beyond adolescence and the lasting consequences of their past choices.
Following a lengthy hiatus between seasons, the release of the trailer has generated significant buzz on social media, with fans expressing excitement and relief at finally getting new material from the series. Season three of Euphoria will air on HBO in April 2026.
