Zendaya Thinks Euphoria Will End After Season 3

Euphoria fans have been in the trenches. The hit HBO series was renewed for a third season back in 2022, but it took four whole years to get to air. The lengthy delay has led many fans (and even its own cast) to wonder if the series is coming to an end. And Zendaya’s latest comment on that possibility seems to confirm all the worry.

When Zendaya was asked if Season 3 is Euphoria’s final season during her April 6 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, she responded, “I think so,” later adding, “Closure is coming.”

The topic had been addressed by HBO’s head of drama Francesca Orsi a year earlier. “It’s been discussed that this is the end,” Orsi told Deadline in February 2025. “I think you will be very satisfied with this season, and how we bring each of the characters’ whole narrative,” she said.

The possibility of Euphoria ending isn’t exactly surprising. Not only has its third season suffered significant production delays, its main cast has also skyrocketed to much higher levels of fame than they were at when the show premiered in 2019. Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Colman Domingo, and more are currently more focused on buzzy movie careers. Not to mention, creator Sam Levinson has faced unsavory workplace allegations on his other HBO show The Idol.

Another potential issue: the age of the main cast. Season 3 will implement a significant time jump and be set years after high school, since the stars are now mostly in their late 20s. Since this leap forward likely wasn’t part of the original plan, it’s unclear how much further the series might go.

Trailers for Season 3 of Euphoria tease that the upcoming stories are partially set in Mexico, where Rue finds herself at odds with a drug cartel. Other plotlines include a wedding between Cassie and Nate, Jules developing a relationship with a sugar daddy, and Lexi becoming a screenwriter in Hollywood. The third (and potentially final) season of Euphoria premieres April 12 on HBO.
