According to a report by Variety, Dominic Fike will return as the drug-using, guitar-slinging Elliot. Nika King, who plays Rue’s (Zendaya) mom Leslie, will appear in Season 3 after making headlines for a stand-up comedy routine where she said she couldn’t pay her rent due to production delays. King was then laid off from the initial Season 3 cast list in February, as per the report.
Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer is set to compose the soundtrack for Season 3 of the HBO show. The veteran music composer will collaborate with returning composer Labrinth, who scored the first two seasons of the show.
Filming for Euphoria’s third season began in February.
Euphoria follows a group of teenagers experiencing the ups and downs of love and friendship in a world of social networks, sex, drugs, and violence.
The upcoming season will feature a time jump of several years, taking the show’s former high school-age characters into young adulthood, according to reports.
