With HBO and Sam Levinson's Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow-starring Euphoria returning for a third season this month, folks have been wondering if there will need to be a ten-year time jump for the fourth season. Of course, some are wondering whether the length of time between the second and third seasons, combined with how successful the cast has become since then, and rumblings that surfaced about the Season 3 process, are signs that Season 3 will be the final season. Well, it seems like series star and executive producer Zendaya is viewing Season 3 as the final season, based on today's edition of The Drew Barrymore Show. When asked by daytime talk show host/actor Drew Barrymore if this would be the last season, Zendaya responded, "I think so, yeah," with an expression of someone who knows that they're delivering bad news.

Here's a look at what Barrymore and Zendaya discussed regarding the HBO series, its return, and the show possibly wrapping up with the upcoming third season:

Checking in during HBO Max's London presentation near the end of 2025, previewing what's on the horizon for 2026 and beyond, Levinson dropped some vital intel regarding the third season. First up, fans can expect Season 3 to start hitting screens in April 2026. As for where things stand with everyone when the series resumes, Levinson dropped some clues about the time jump.

"Five years felt like a natural place because if they'd gone to college, they'd be out of college at that time. We basically pick up Rue south of the border in Mexico, in debt to Laurie, trying to come up with some very innovative ways to pay it off," Levinson shared. "And then Cassie is living in the suburbs with Nate, they're engaged, and she's very addicted to social media and envious of what appears to be the big lives that all of her high school classmates are living at this point in time."

Levinson had high hopes for what Euphoria viewers can expect, noting, "I feel strongly this is our best season yet… I will say that Cassie and Nate do, in fact, get married. I'm confirming it. And I promise that it will be an unforgettable night." Levinson also shared that Jules (Hunter Schafer) is in art school, Maddy (Alexa Demie) is working as a talent agent in Hollywood (with "side hustles"), and guest star Sharon Stone plays a showrunner who hires Lexi (Maude Apatow) as her assistant.
