"Euphoria" was unsurprisingly renewed for its third season, although there isn't an exact release date. In addition to the amount of social media buzz this season generated weekly, season two also doubled the episode's viewership compared to the first season.

The first episode of season two had a staggering 14 million views between HBO and HBO Max, almost 100% more than the 6.6 million views the first season got in 2019. The first episode of season two was the No. 1 most social premium cable episode after "Game of Thrones" earned the title for its finale in May 2019.

In a statement, Francesca Orsi, the executive Vice President of HBO Programming, said, "Sam, Zendaya, and the entire cast and crew of 'Euphoria' have taken Season 2 to extraordinary heights, challenging narrative convention and form, while maintaining its heart. We couldn't be more honored to work with this gifted, wildly talented team or more excited to continue our journey with them into Season 3."
