HBO Max Reveals First Teaser for “Euphoria” Season 3
“Euphoria” looks to have its third season be its most dramatic yet, with alleged details of pivotal character arcs. The third season is set to premiere on HBO Max sometime in spring 2026, though an official date hasn’t been released yet. According to a report from Maxblizz, the teaser revealed some major details about the main characters.
“Euphoria” Season 3: Alleged Spoilers, Shocking Twists, and What’s Next for Rue and Cassie
The news comes from a private HBO Max Upfront event in Brazil, where a lucky few got a sneak peek at the first teaser of the series. Of course, alleged spoilers leaked faster than Cassie could cry in a bathroom, and the internet has been in a collective meltdown ever since. The biggest shocker? Season 3 reportedly jumps five years into the future. In an interview with People, Sweeney said, “I’m very excited to jump back into Cassie. She is definitely one of the most special characters for me, and I love my Euphoria family, so I look forward to it.”
Maxblizz reported the teaser of “Euphoria” season 3 from Omelete, a Brazilian entertainment website the description of the teaser trailer at the event. According to the report from Maxblizz, who referred to Omelete, it is alleged that the teaser revealed Rue Bennett (Zendaya) still hasn’t overcome her drug use and ends up getting kidnapped by traffickers to whom she owes money.
There are apparently two groups of traffickers after Rue, one led by a man and the other led by a woman. In addition, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate (Jacob Elordi) are engaged, and Cassie starts an OnlyFans account. Apparently, she is creating explicit content for her profile, and Nate finds her dressed as a Playboy Bunny taking pictures in bed. The show has generated praise and controversy alike since it aired six years ago.
Also, in the teaser, Jules (Hunter Schafer) is allegedly a “sugar baby,” and Maddy (Alexa Demie) criticizes people who become sugar babies. In speaking about Cassie, Sweeney said to E! News, “She has opened my eyes to so much, I’ve learned so much about myself and I just really want to make sure I can shine a light on those in need and those who might need a voice.”
What Does This Mean for “Euphoria” Season 3?
It looks like we will see Maddy and Cassie interact at some point in season 3 of “Euphoria.” A shot of Sweeney and Demie leaked online on-set. The pair was spotted driving a retro car on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. At face value, it looks like Cassie and Maddy will reconcile in the upcoming season, considering their friendship was fractured due to Rue revealing that Cassie and Nate had been hooking up in Season 2.
The leaks also suggest that Maddy is working a night job and dating a wealthy businessman, which sounds just about right for her. She was always meant for a life of luxury, even if she has to work for it. Sam Levinson has described the upcoming season as a “film noir,” with Rue, now a private investigator, exploring a “corrupt world.”
This framing, combined with the time jump, suggests a more mature, darker, and stylistically different season of Euphoria. With unresolved plotlines involving Cal Jacobs (Eric Dane) and Laurie (Martha Kelly) still hanging, the “sins of the past” theme is ripe for exploration.
Final Thoughts
While HBO has yet to officially release this teaser or confirm these plot points, the details feel far too specific and chaotically perfect to be entirely fabricated. For now, we can only speculate and wait. “Euphoria” Season 3 isn’t expected to premiere until 2026, so we have plenty of time to mentally prepare for the emotional rollercoaster that’s sure to come. Remember, take the information with a grain of salt, things can change, and the teaser hasn’t been released yet.
