Euphoria season 3 is finally moving forward and it’s bringing some new faces along.
The Emmy-winning HBO series announced its latest cast additions on Friday, Feb. 14 via Instagram, revealing that Marshawn Lynch and Kadeem Hardison are joining the series.
“I’m hella juiced about the show and getting a chance to work with the people in front and behind the camera. At the end of the day, I’m just thankful for the opportunity,” said former Seattle Seahawks player Marshawn Lynch about his role.

Hardison is reuniting with Zendaya, who played his daughter on the Disney Channel sitcom K.C. Undercover, which ran from 2015 to 2018.
“I was over the moon when I heard the news that I booked it. It’s amazing to be back on set with Z. She and I formed a tight friendship while shooting K.C. Undercover and we’ve stayed close, so this is truly special,” Hardison said.
He also addressed the recent wildfires in Los Angeles that destroyed thousands of homes and killed over two dozen people.
“Sam, Ashley, the entire cast and crew have all been great to work with, and we’re all very happy to be shooting it here in LA, especially after the travesty that thousands here just experienced. Our hearts go out to everyone affected, and here’s to hoping more productions follow suit and come back to Los Angeles to shoot,” he added.
Spanish pop star Rosalía will be joining season 3 as well.
In addition to Zendaya, returning cast members include Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, and Colman Domingo.
As previously reported, Storm Reid, who played the sister to main cast member Zendaya’s character Rue, will not be returning.
Other new additions to the cast include Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Toby Wallace, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, and Anna Van Patten.
Season 2 wrapped in February 2022, but production on the new season of the drama about a group of high school students trying to navigate life in a world of drugs, sex, and social media has faced delays for several reasons, including the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Euphoria, created by Sam Levinson and based on the Israeli series of the same name, is produced in partnership with A24.
On Monday, Feb. 10, A24 announced on X that the HBO hit had officially resumed production.
