Euphoria "A Completely New Show Again": Jacob Elordi Talks Season 3

Euphoria star Jacob Elordi on returning and how the HBO and Sam Levinson series has "a whole new sort of life in it" with Season 3.

With the third season of HBO and Sam Levinson's Zendaya-starring Euphoria set to hit screens in Spring 2026, we've been hearing from members of the cast that they've wrapped filming, which means we should probably be getting an official announcement soon. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter's THR Awards Chatter podcast, Jacob Elordi offered some additional insights into what it was like returning after so long and how the third season feels like "a completely new show again." 

"It was very stressful because I thought my hair was going to fall out!" Elordi shared about the length of time between the seasons. "I just finished filming that a few weeks ago, and it's a completely new show again. It's got a whole new sort of life in it. It looks different, it feels different, everyone's older now, everyone's made so many movies and has lived so much life. But it's huge — it's VistaVision spectacular huge — in terms of the way that it's shot," Elordi added. The star of Netflix and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein previously shared that a number of characters' storylines were filmed separately, so he was as much in the dark as everyone else regarding details outside of what he filmed.
