Los Angeles, United States – HBO has confirmed that its drama series Euphoria has officially concluded following the season three finale, “In God We Trust,” which aired on May 31, 2026. The network said no fourth season will be produced, ending the series after a seven-year run and a total of 26 episodes. Series creator, writer and director Sam Levinson first disclosed that he had no plans for a fourth season during an appearance on the New York Times music podcast Popcast, hosted by Joe Coscarelli and Jon Caramanica. HBO executives subsequently confirmed the decision to Variety on June 1, 2026, formally closing the show’s run. Los Angeles, United States – Euphoria followed the life of Rue Bennett, played by Zendaya, alongside an ensemble cast that included Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow and Eric Dane, with Drake and Adel “Future” Nur among the executive producers. The series became HBO’s second most-watched programme, ranking behind Game of Thrones, and its season three premiere drew 12.3 million viewers, a 44 percent increase over the season two opener. The final season sparked debate over the portrayal of Sydney Sweeney’s character Cassie Howard and an OnlyFans-related storyline, and concluded with on-screen deaths of key characters including Rue Bennett and Nate Jacobs, leaving no remaining narrative arcs for the main cast. The show, which debuted in 2019, won nine Primetime Emmy Awards, including two Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series awards for Zendaya.
