Speaking to Variety, Zendaya said of her season three hopes: "Rue wants to be here, and it's up to her now. I really hope we can explore her life in the future, closer to the other side and her sobriety journey. He’s interviewed a wide range of film icons, including directors such as David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Ridley Scott, Michael Bay and Sam Raimi, as well as actors such as Meryl Streep, Nic Cage, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Anne Hathaway, Margot Robbie, Natalie Portman, Kermit the Frog, all of the Avengers and many more. Gia, I hope that you get to smile," she said in an interview with Screen Rant. "I hope you get to laugh. I hope you get some ice cream or something! No, I hope we get to see Gia [smile] more, but my overarching hope for season three is just more levity, more joy, more grace.

In the meantime, expect season three to continue unravelling the threads torn apart by season two's explosive finale. He even says, 'I've always protected you and you f**king hated me for it.' Because Cal felt like a piece of shit. He resented his son for that. But Nate gets a real opportunity to do what I did in the foyer." Although Cal's arrest and subsequent return to season three have been called into question, Dane confirmed the character would be seen again. When asked by Variety, the actor stated: "Oh, of course." Zendaya also noted that she can't play a high school student forever, saying: "From a character perspective, I want to find things that will push me." We have covered the entire spectrum of emotions in Euphoria over the last two seasons, so hopefully season three is a little less heartbreaking."Zendaya's role in season three was always a given, of course ( despite those pesky Rue death rumours). Just recently, Casey Bloys confirmed to TVLine that "she's going to be in season three – it's hard to imagine doing [the] show without her". Sam has also interviewed several comic creators, including Stan Lee, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and he has a zombie cameo in The Walking Dead comic. Streaming is a huge thing now but not everyone has access to it, can afford it, or likes streaming. Having the show in physical form, we can enjoy it whenever without having to commit to a subscription.

Levinson has shed some light on what the third season could hold, telling Elle it will be like a "film noir" focusing on Zendaya's character Rue as she "explores what it means to be an individual with principles in a corrupt world". Angus Cloud, who played fan-favourite soulful character Fez, tragically died at the age of 25 in July 2023. It's also been teased that we could see a time jump in which the characters are no longer in high school. There was a bit of Cassie that I got to play with when she started saying she's crazier than Maddy in a scene with Nate. And she kind of got a little more evil and dark and serious, and not so frantic. I would love to play with more of that streak within herself," she told Variety. Hormones make teenagers feel like everything in their life is huge and dramatic and intolerable; this series is about people who really are coping with all sorts of soul-crushing things.She went on to say: "I hope many of you could see yourself in her, like I did, and that she brought you joy to see her journey into the character she is today.
