What’s next in the life of Rue Bennett? Here is everything we know so far about Euphoria Season 3.

Attention viewers! The eagerly anticipated third season of Euphoria is officially underway—and sooner than you think. Recently, the show’s costume designer Heidi Bivens sat down with Vogue to talk about her work on the series and revealed that Season 3 is scheduled to begin filming in June 2023! It’s good to get some updates, considering the series was renewed for a third season back in February 2022.

It’s been a long time since then, and no prospective premiere date has been acknowledged yet, but with a confirmed production timeline, it is now clearly stated that the series is definitely aiming for an early to mid-2024 release by premiering new episodes every Sunday, just like the previous seasons on HBO for cable subscribers and on HBO Max, streaming simultaneously at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Euphoria Season 3: What to expect?

Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President of HBO Programming, stated, “Sam, Zendaya and the entire cast and crew of Euphoria have taken Season 2 to extraordinary heights, challenging narrative convention and form while maintaining its heart. We couldn’t be more honored to work with this gifted, wildly talented team or more excited to continue our journey with them into Season 3.”

The latest reports circulating all over social media, the time jump in Euphoria Season 3 could last up to five years. The finale of Euphoria Season 2 also alluded to a time jump, and since then, rumors have abounded about how many years in the future the third season of the show will be set and what it will look like. In a recent interview with Vogue, a costume designer from the show revealed potential details about Season 3’s time jump.

Heidi Bivens stated, “There is talk of it being approximately five years in the future,” with the characters no longer in high school. 

For context read her full comments, and quote, “I’ll do everything I can to make the third season of the show successful. I’m really excited to read the scripts. There is talk of it being approximately five years in the future, and that they’re not in high school anymore. Dorothy’s not in Kansas anymore. I mean, it might be a total trip. Who can say? But knowing Sam’s brain, it’s gonna be exciting, and he will challenge all of us because he won’t want to repeat himself. It’ll be something new for the audience to discover.”

Moreover, Zendaya, who plays Ruby “Rue” Bennett, kind of added an official stamp to these time jump reports in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, when asked, “What are you as a producer and an actor hoping to see in season three?” She replied: 

“I think it’ll be exciting to explore the characters out of high school. I want to see what Rue looks like in her sobriety journey, and how chaotic that might look. But also with all the characters, in the sense where they’re trying to figure out what to do with their lives when high school is over and what kind of people they want to be. What was special about this season was that we got to dive into [the other characters] in a much deeper sense. I think we can do that again in the third season. There’s so much talent, you want to make sure everybody has the chance to have that.”
