HBO has reportedly edited a promotional trailer for Euphoria Season 3 following significant backlash.

Despite these changes, the original trailer continues to be shared online.
Sweeney herself teased a 'wild' interpretation of Cassie for Season 3, stating her character would pursue fame at any cost and make "wild and interesting choices." Showrunner Sam Levinson defended Cassie's potential storyline as an Only Fans star, explaining it explores her "personal struggles and the societal pressures" leading to such decisions.
Euphoria Season 3 premiered its first episode on April 12, 2026. The new season, set five years after the events of Season 2, follows Rue and her friends navigating adulthood. However, the season has been met with considerable negative reviews and backlash regarding the character arcs.
