‘Euphoria’ Officially Ending With Season 3, HBO Confirms

After seven years, three seasons and 26 episodes, “Euphoria” is officially over. Sam Levinson — the HBO show’s creator, writer and director — made the announcement on Popcast, New York Times’ music podcast, speaking with its hosts Joe Coscarelli and Jon Caramanica. HBO also confirmed Levinson’s announcement to Variety.

Thus, the Season 3 closer, titled “In God We Trust,” was actually its series finale. Read Variety‘s recap of the episode here, in addition to interviews with supporting star Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and guest star Colman Domingo.

The news doesn’t come as a surprise, given that series lead Zendaya has remarked in interviews that she believed the show was ending after Season 3. Even before that, it has long been understood that the HBO drama wouldn’t continue; a full four years went by between Seasons 2 and 3, and Zendaya and several of her co-stars became full-fledged celebrities with schedules full of blockbuster films during that time. For that reason and others, production on Season 3 faced major delays, as Variety reported in 2024. Speaking with Coscarelli in an interview with the Times before the season premiered, Levinson said he writes “every season like it’s the last,” and hesitated when pressed about a fourth season. “I don’t know,” Levinson said. “As of right now, all I want to do is hang out with my wife and kids and read some Elmore Leonard and watch ‘Mrs. Miniver’ again.”

“Euphoria,” per the official logline, followed “a group of high school students as they navigate drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship.” In Season 3, after a time jump, they “wrestle with the virtue of faith, the possibility of redemption and the problem of evil.”

Along with Zendaya, the cast included Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Toby Wallace and Colman Domingo. Sam Levinson created the series and served as executive producer alongside Ashley Levinson, Sara E. White, Kevin Turen, Ravi Nandan, Drake, Adel “Future” Nur, Ron Leshem, Daphna Levin, Hadas Mozes Lichtenstein, Mirit Toovi, Tmira Yardeni, Yoram Mokady and Gary Lennon.
