After a long hiatus, the third season of HBO hit Euphoria is finally here, more than four years after the second installment concluded. The kids have grown up, but their lives are more chaotic than ever.
The new episodes received mixed reviews from critics and some fan backlash over a few shocking scenes. Could this mean this is the show’s final hurrah, or are more episodes arriving somewhere down the line? Here’s what we know so far.
Euphoria Season 4 Release Date
At the time of writing, HBO hasn’t made any official statements about Euphoria’s future. Given the huge break between seasons, however, as well as the fact that many of the actors in the cast have blown up in the meantime, more episodes seem unlikely.
Series creator Sam Levinson said there are currently no plans for Euphoria season 4, and star Zendaya previously hinted that season 3 will be it. All in all, another installment is a long shot.

What Is Euphoria About?
A dark and provocative drama, Euphoria initially follows a group of high school students navigating addiction, trauma, identity, love, and self-destruction. At the centre of the action is Rue, a teenage drug addict fresh out of rehab. The show explores the lives of her peers, each dealing with their own set of problems.
The third season picks up after a time jump, with the characters navigating early adulthood. That said, things aren’t much better. Rue is now deeply entangled in drug trafficking, trying to repay a massive debt. Her life is dangerous, with stability nowhere within reach.
Elsewhere, Cassie and Nate are engaged, but their relationship is still toxic, with the latter trying to make it as an OnlyFans model. Lexi is a production assistant, Maddy a talent manager, and Jules has become a sugar baby in New York. The vibe is even darker, previewing a season that will push the characters to new extremes.
While there’s not a lot of hope for Euphoria season 4, the current installment still has seven episodes to go. You can catch them weekly on HBO Max.
