‘Euphoria’ Episode 2 Reaches 8.5 Million Viewers in Three Days, Staying Even With Season 3 Premiere

The second episode of “Euphoria” Season 3 hit 8.5 million viewers across HBO and HBO Max in its first three days, matching the viewership of the season premiere.

Statistics for both episodes were measured by Warner Bros. Discovery and refer to viewership in the U.S. alone. WBD notes that Sunday’s episode outperformed the second episode of Season 2 by 32%; that reached 6.4 million viewers in three days. It should be noted that it aired in 2022, and “Euphoria” stars such as Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi have skyrocketed in popularity since then, making a viewership increase expected.
