After a more than four-year wait, Season 3 of HBO’s Euphoria is finally on its way — and a new trailer promises more trouble for Zendaya’s Rue.

The trailer opens with Rue’s narration. “A few years after high school, I don’t know if life was exactly what I wished,” Rue says. “But somehow, for the first time, I was beginning to have faith.”

Unfortunately, Rue — who struggled with substance abuse for the past two seasons of Euphoria — is still very much wrapped up in the drug world. And when Laurie (Martha Kelly) appears and demands Rue pay back her debt (a plotline many fans were worried the show was dropping after the conclusion of Season 2), Rue’s newfound faith is clearly challenged. The drama leads her on a wild ride that involves strippers, a cowboy-hat-wearing drug dealer’s hilltop mansion and quite a few machine guns.

The new trailer teases a tonal shift for Euphoria’s third season, which will air more than four years after Season 2 premiered in January 2022. While Rue did get involved in Laurie’s criminal underbelly in the previous season, it mainly focused on high school drama. Rue’s former classmates, however, are now adults — and some of them are doing very adult things.

Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) is engaged to Nate (Jacob Elordi) and is making NSFW internet content from their suburban home. Jules (Hunter Schafer) is rumored to be a sugar baby. Lexi (Maude Apatow) reunites with Rue, her childhood bestie, on a washing machine to ask if Rue’s seeing anyone these days. And Colman Domingo’s character Ali, Rue’s sponsor and forever the voice of reason, reminds Rue she really does need to “have faith” — whatever that means for her this season.

Season 2 of Euphoria explored Rue dealing with her substance abuse issues, which put her in the crosshairs of the drug dealer Laurie. Meanwhile, Cassie secretly began an affair with Nate, the on-again, off-again boyfriend of her best friend Maddy (Alexa Demie). And Lexi, always the outsider looking in, finally showcased her perspective with a play that reflected all the drama. Meanwhile, Nate’s father, Cal (Eric Dane), finally paid the price for filming his sexual encounters, many of which were with underage individuals, when Nate reported his actions to the police.

Season 2 also concluded with tragedy: Ashtray (Javon Walton) was killed in a shootout with police after they entered the home he shared with his brother, drug dealer Fezco (Angus Cloud), just before Fezco was set to see his new love interest Lexi’s play. In real life, actor Cloud died in July 2023.

The four-year wait between seasons, during which stars like Sweeney and Elordi blew up in Hollywood, also came with a time jump for the characters. At an HBO presentation in December, creator Sam Levinson teased the future of the Euphoria characters.

“We basically pick up Rue south of the border in Mexico, in debt to Laurie, trying to come up with some very innovative ways to pay it off,” he said at the event, per Variety. “And then Cassie is living in the suburbs with Nate, they’re engaged and she’s very addicted to social media and envious of what appears to be the big lives that all of her high school classmates are living at this point in time.”

Levinson also teased that Lexi and Maddy found their way to Hollywood, with Lexi working as an assistant to a character played by Sharon Stone and Maddy at a talent agency.

Speaking to Deadline this week, actor Domingo called the season “devastatingly gorgeous” and an “epic” that is “breaking the mold of television.”

“I think it’s gonna become more cinema than television,” he said.

Euphoria Season 3 premieres on HBO April 12.
