Zendaya Hints Euphoria Season 3 May Be Final

Zendaya hinted that the third season of HBO's Euphoria, premiering Sunday on the network and Max, may mark the end of the series. The 29-year-old actress, who stars as Rue Bennett and serves as an executive producer, shared her thoughts during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show earlier this week. When host Drew Barrymore asked if the upcoming installment would be the final one, Zendaya replied, "I think so, yeah." She added that "closure is coming," suggesting a sense of finality for the characters' arcs.

The new season arrives after a four-year hiatus since the second season aired in 2022, delayed by Hollywood labor strikes in 2023 and the cast's expanding film careers. Production began in February 2025 and wrapped in November, with creator Sam Levinson describing the episodes as the show's strongest yet. HBO executives have discussed the possibility of this being the last season but have not confirmed it. "We've talked about it," Francesca Orsi, head of drama at HBO, told reporters last year. "I think you will be very satisfied with this season and how we bring each of the characters' whole narrative."
