The Euphoria High Reunion Photos Have Dropped

HBO just released a whole album of Where Are They Now pics ahead of Euphoria season 3. As Sam Levinson said previously, this new season will take place after the cast graduated college. Well, some of the cast. Rue is in Mexico fleeing drug dealer Laurie (Martha Kelly), which sounds like matriculation wasn’t a high prio these last five years. Nate Jacobs and Cassie Howard are still together (??) and engaged (???) with their wedding being a big set piece of the season (!!!!). It feels like we’re getting new plot details every week, to the point that the show’s April 2026 release feels almost superfluous. JK. We still don’t know what Elliot (Dominic Fike) is up to!

Rue (Zendaya)

“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,” Levinson said at a HBO Max presentation in London last week. Based on the above pic, Rue’s flight has maybe caused her to have a crisis of faith. Or a “come to Jesus” moment. She probably needs it.

Nate (Jacob Elordi)

Nate is rocking the suburbs, according to Levinson. And the photo released by HBO indicates the dude is straight grilling. Elordi recently promised Gwyneth Paltrow that Nate Jacobs is “nicer” in season 3 of Euphoria. “I finished filming a new season just recently, and it’s a completely different thing,” he said during his “Actors on Actors” interview. But it’s not like that’s an especially high bar.

Cassie (Sydney Sweeney)

According to Levinson, Cassie Howard is having a harder time of it in the suburbs, compared to Nate. “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,” he said. Good to see the feud with Maddy is still a going concern. 

Lexi (Maude Apatow)

Levinson says Cassie’s baby sister Lexi is trying to make it big in Hollywood. And Lexi is an assistant to a showrunner played by Sharon Stone,” he said, “who is just absolutely delightful and a true icon.” Lexi’s character photo shows her on a Hollywood studio lot, in front of a full Hail Caesar-ass extras. Showbiz!

Maddy (Alexa Demie)

Judging by the blurry centurions in Maddy’s photo, she’s on the same lot as Lexi. (The Warner Bros. lot in Burbank to be specific. Peep the rounded soundstage ceilings.) “Maddy is working in Hollywood at a talent agency for a manager,” Levinson said. “She’s obviously got her own side hustles going.” 

Jules (Hunter Schafer)

Jules is drinking full fat cokes at art school, and we love that for her. Levinson says Jules’ life isn’t as bold and brave as the photo suggests, however. “Jules is in art school, very nervous about having a career as a painter and trying to avoid responsibility at all costs,” he said. 

We’ll see how all these crazy kids come together when Euphoria returns to HBO in 2026.
