The third season of Euphoria, set to bring back Zendaya as Rue, will be screened at Coachella on April 5, as per reports.
According to Variety, the season 3 premiere of the HBO drama will play in the campgrounds of the festival on Sunday at 11.59pm PT, after the weekend’s final performances. Coachella wristbands are required for access to the watch party under the California desert sky, which will operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
In 2023, Labrinth brought Zendaya onstage at Coachella for their Euphoria songs, her first live performance in more than seven years.
Season 2 of the HBO series concluded with Lexi Howard’s (Maude Apatow) play inspired by her friends and classmates, Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi) turning his father Cal (Dane) in to the police after discovering a flash drive containing evidence of illegal sexual encounters. Rue Bennett (Zendaya) remains sober as she and Jules Vaughn (Hunter Schafer) appear to reconnect.
The new season jumps ahead five years. Cassie Howard (Sweeney) and Nate are married and living in the suburbs, while Rue is in Mexico, working to pay off a debt to drug dealer Laurie (Kelly).
Series creator Sam Levinson has previously said that Jules is attending art school, Maddy Perez (Demie) is working at a Hollywood talent agency, and Lexi is employed as an assistant to a showrunner played by new cast member Sharon Stone.
Zendaya previously won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for the show’s first two seasons.
