Emmy winner Zendaya hints HBO juggernaut Euphoria is nearing its final chapter, suggesting the series could wrap with its next season—even as it returns this Sunday, April 12, for a third run alongside Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, and Sydney Sweeney.

So, it looks like HBO's 'Euphoria' is gearing up for what might be its last wild ride. If you've been waiting for that next chapter (or just extra Zendaya on your Sundays), the show is coming back this Sunday, April 12, for Season 3. But here’s the kicker: Zendaya herself has started talking about the endgame.

Zendaya Basically Says It's the End

Zendaya dropped by The Drew Barrymore Show recently and got pretty direct—when asked if this would be Euphoria's final season, she didn't really dance around it. Here's what she said, just to make it crystal clear:

'Yes, I think so. That closure is coming.'

So, yeah, get ready to see where Rue and the gang are really headed, because it sounds like we'll actually get answers and—shock—an actual ending, not just another cliffhanger.

What Else Zendaya Revealed

Zendaya also made it clear she’s pretty grateful for the whole Euphoria experience (she snagged two Emmys for it, after all), and if you’re wondering, yes, playing Rue has sort of changed her as a person. She said the show basically cracked her heart open and taught her a lot about empathy, redemption, and just…life. It's always interesting to hear when actors get genuinely attached to their roles, and it's safe to say Zendaya feels that way about Rue.

Who’s Coming Back (and Who’s New)?

  • Returning: Alongside Zendaya, you'll see Jacob Elordi (Nate), Hunter Schafer (Jules), Alexa Demie (Maddy), Sydney Sweeney (Cassie), Maude Apatow (Lexi), Dominic Fike (Elliot), Eric Dane (Cal), Colman Domingo (Ali), Martha Kelly (Laurie), and Chloe Cherry (Faye).
  • New faces: HBO is not skimping on guest stars this time—expect to see Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Trisha Paytas, Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth, Marshawn Lynch, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Toby Wallace, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Kadeem Hardison, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, Anna Van Patten, Asante Blackk, Bella Podaras, Bill Bodner, Cailyn Rice, Colleen Camp, Gideon Adlon, Hemky Madera, Homer Gere, Jack Topalian, Jessica Blair Herman, Kwame Patterson, Madison Thompson, Matthew Willig, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Sam Trammell—all joining for Season 3. That's an insanely crowded guest list, even for HBO.

The Plot Thickens (With a Time Jump)

Sam Levinson, the show's creator (who's still writing and producing alongside Zendaya and even Drake, yes, that Drake), confirmed earlier that the new season is jumping ahead five years after the season 2 finale. Which could mean high school drama is out, and whatever comes after is in. Probably a smart way to age up the story, and, honestly, the cast was starting to look a little too old for prom season anyway.

Official Teaser (For the Show, Not the Plot)

HBO's official logline for season 3 just leans into the show's whole angsty, philosophical thing: 'A group of childhood friends wrestle with the virtue of faith, the possibility of redemption, and the problem of evil.' In other words, it's still Euphoria.

So, get ready for what looks like the final chapter—more closure, more chaos, more Rue. Should be interesting to see how this all wraps up.
