It’s been four years since the season 2 finale of one of HBO’s most talked-about and shocking shows, Euphoria. Considering that The Sopranos, The Wire, and various Game of Thrones shows are in its catalog, that says a lot.
When we last left the show, Lexi Howard’s play (titled Our Life) left most of the characters shocked and relationships ruined. Our Life exposed many things the main characters didn't know about each other to the entire school. Among them is Lexi’s sister (Cassie) sleeping with her best friend’s (Maddy) ex-boyfriend, Nate.
Another moment shown in Our Life was the day Rue’s father passed and what happened after the wake. Lexi’s play pointed out that it was the last time the five friends (Rue, Maddy, Lexi, Cassie, and Barbie) were close. Although Rue said it was the first time in a while that she didn't hate herself. So it wasn't all bad.
To know what's next for the characters, you’ll have to watch the premiere. Coming up are the times HBO's Euphoria will be released in your time zone.

What you need to know about Euphoria season 3
One of the things we know about season 3 of Euphoria is that the show jumps five years into the future. The once high school kids are now adults and have new lives and careers. Some of the things they're doing and have become aren’t shocking. However, that doesn’t mean viewers’ jaws won’t drop when they see what characters have been up to. For example, Rue’s past catches up with her as the drug lord Laurie returns to get the money Rue owes her, and Cassie appears to be posting sexual videos online for money.
A lot of performers won’t be returning for various reasons. Among them are Storm Reid (who played Rue’s sister Gia), Barbie Ferreira (Kat Hernandez), and Angus Cloud (Fezco), who passed away in
On the topic of Angus Cloud, Euphoria writer and creator Sam Levinson told People, “I couldn’t keep him alive in real life, but I could keep his character alive in the show.”
Levinson also said, “I kept him alive, and the character has got a great arc. I think he’d be very proud of it.”
Another unfortunate passing was Eric Dane, who plays Nate’s father, Cal Jacobs. Despite his illness, Dane did reprise his role.
Sam Levinson said, “We had a lot of conversations about just life and what that meant. I loved him very deeply, and I said, ‘Eric, whatever shape you show up in, we’re gonna make it work. I have faith that it’s all gonna work.’”
