'I don't actually know much about what is happening,' she admitted, despite her role as an executive producer. 'I don't quite know exactly what the season is going to look like, but I do know that the time jump is happening.' The actress, who plays queer teenager Rue, a high schooler who struggles with drug addiction, sounded as excited as fans to learn what's in store for the young adults. 'It will be fascinating to see and understand these characters outside of the context of high school and how all the stuff that we saw when they were kids and they were in high school affects the adulthood they have and who they become in a much bigger world.'

Sydney Sweeney teases season three of Euphoria is 'unhinged'
Sydney Sweeney has teased that season three of 'Euphoria' is "unhinged" for her character Cassie. The 27-year-old actress has teased that her "flawed" alter ego goes "crazier" in the upcoming instalment of the hit HBO teen drama. She told Empire magazine: 'I have such a spot in my heart for Cassie, and I hold her really close and dear. 'She is crazy. She makes so many mistakes. She's flawed on so many levels, but she does it all from a place of love. It could be a sad version of love, as well. It's so much fun to play a character that is as crazy as she is. Sam [Levinson] is such a brilliant filmmaker to work with, because I'll read something, then I'll call him, and I'm like, 'Let's go crazier.' And he's like, 'I'm all in.' And this season is unhinged.' The second season saw Cassie get romantically involved with Maddie's (Alexa Demie) abusive ex-boyfriend Nate (Jacob Elordi). The eight-episode season will feature a time jump taking the lead characters out of high school and it is due to premiere in 2026, four years after the second season aired. Sydney, Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, and Colman Domingo will all be returning, but Algee Smith and Nika King won't be, while Dominic Fike's return has yet to be confirmed. New series regulars will include Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Toby Wallace, while a number of guest stars have also been lined up including Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, and Kadeem Hardison. The cast and showrunner Sam Levinson kicked off shooting season three in Los Angeles earlier this year after a long delay. The series is expected to mark the end of the drama. Zendaya - who leads the cast as Rue Bennett - recently admitted she finds filming 'Euphoria' "emotionally and physically draining". Speaking to Nicole Kidman for Variety's Actors on Actors series, she said: "You get so used to a character. It feels like a skin that you just slip on. Rue just falls into me. I'm not thinking about it so much. It's just like, 'Oh, she's here now.' The 'Babygirl' star then asked: "Do you stagger out of that experience?" Zendaya replied: "Yes and no. While it was emotionally and physically draining, it was so rewarding. I was so proud of it. It connected with people... "We're supposed to do another season. I've only done two, but it feels like five. One season of 'Euphoria' is like, 'Phew!'... "I still have my Rue scars."
