Sydney Sweeney’s Euphoria Season 3: Marriage Twist Revealed — Everything We’ve Learned

Euphoria is finally coming back into focus. Creator Sam Levinson just laid out where everyone lands in Season 3, and there are some wild swings here: a big time jump, a left-field marriage, and a Sharon Stone cameo I did not have on my bingo card.

When it drops and where the story picks up

Levinson says Season 3 is set for April on HBO and jumps five years ahead from the Season 2 finale. He frames it as the most natural place to pick up — if these characters had gone to college, they would be out by now — and the real-world gap between seasons made the timing make sense.

So... where is everyone now?

• Rue (Zendaya): South of the border in Mexico, scrambling for cash to deal with the debt she owes to Laurie (Martha Kelly) and getting creative about how to pay it back.
• Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate (Jacob Elordi): Living in the suburbs and engaged. Cassie is glued to social media and quietly seething over the seemingly bigger lives her former classmates are living. And yes, Levinson says they actually make it down the aisle.
• Jules (Hunter Schafer): In art school, anxious about building a legit career as a painter and doing her best to dodge responsibility.
• Maddy (Alexa Demie): Working in Hollywood for a manager at a talent agency, with her own side hustles on the go.
• Lexi (Maude Apatow): Assistant to a showrunner played by Sharon Stone. Levinson gushes about Stone, calling her delightful and an icon.

"Cassie and Nate do in fact get married. I’m confirming it. And I promise that it will be an unforgettable night."

A few thoughts

The five-year leap lets the show shed the high school hallways without pretending time stood still. The Cassie/Nate marriage reveal is a jaw-dropper, and the way Levinson teases the wedding makes it sound like capital-D Drama. Meanwhile, Rue trying to square things with the very ominous Laurie suggests a darker, more expansive lane for her story. April on HBO — circle it.
