When: April 12

With a huge ensemble cast, Euphoria is one of HBO's biggest shows. Euphoria season 3 arrives on April 12, where episodes will drop weekly.

Set five years after the events of the previous season, we continue to follow the now former students of East Highland High, where life for them has undergone "significant yet unexpected changes".

Cassie and Nate get married, but Cassie ends up addicted to social media and begins envying what other people are doing. Meanwhile, Rue is in Mexico trying to pay off drug debts to Laurie, and Maddy is in Hollywood. Life looks very different for our core cast, and there's plenty of drama ahead.
