Euphoria Star Jacob Elordi: Season 3 "Incredibly Clever and Cinematic"

Euphoria star Jacob Elordi praised Sam Levinson for giving him a chance "to play something so sort of far out from what I’ve done before."

After a major casting update and confirmation that the series would be returning in Spring 2026, Jacob Elordi had some additional insights to share about the third season of HBO and Sam Levinson's Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, and Sydney Sweeney-starring Euphoria. Speaking with Variety on the Academy Museum Gala red carpet, Elordi shared that returning to the series was "incredibly liberating" and that he "got to play something so sort of far out from what I've done before." He added that Levinson has "constructed something that's incredibly clever and cinematic. I think people are really going to like it."

But if you're looking for specifics on what the new season has to offer, you're out of luck. "Everybody shoots at different storylines," Elordi explained. "I don't know what anyone else is doing. I had a really singular storyline. You don't know what the other story lines are. It's like FBI files. So it's great because I'll get to consume the show the same way that everybody else does as a fan, which I haven't been able to do before. I'm really excited."
