Euphoria is heading to the desert, with the show set to screen its season three premiere at Coachella.
The showing will give festival goers a late-night viewing under the California sky, as the HBO drama will debut its third season in the campgrounds on Sunday at 11.59pm, immediately after the weekend’s final performances.
Access to the screening will be limited to those with Coachella wristbands, with entry operating on a first-come, first-served basis.
The series returns on April 12 at 9pm PT following a four-year hiatus, with creator Sam Levinson moving the story forward five years beyond the events of the second season.
Its returning cast includes Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie and Maude Apatow, alongside Eric Dane, Martha Kelly, Colman Domingo, Dominic Fike, Chloe Cherry and Nika King.
Euphoria has a bit of a history with Coachella, as the show’s composer Labrinth performed at the 2023 festival, bringing out Zendaya for a surprise performance of the original songs All for Us and I’m Tired, which the pair collaborated on for the series.
That marked Zendaya’s first live performance in more than seven years.
The upcoming third season spans eight episodes and introduces a wide range of new cast members, including Trisha Paytas, Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth, Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Toby Wallace, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Kadeem Hardison, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, Anna Van Patten and Asante Blackk.
Additional cast joining the ensemble include 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.
The new season picks up with the central characters now out of high school, marking a shift in timeline and setting for the series as it continues its exploration of relationships, identity and addiction.
Euphoria has become one of HBO’s most successful modern dramas, earning critical acclaim for its bold storytelling and visual style. The series has won multiple Primetime Emmy Awards, including acting honours for Zendaya, and has built a global following, particularly among its legions of younger fans.
