Television this year is about to get turned up a few notches, as Euphoria is slated to return with season three on April 12 following a four-year hiatus. HBO released a second trailer for the Zendaya-starring show on Monday (March 30).
The high-school days seem to be long in the rearview mirror, as season three feels more like a set of Grand Theft Auto campaign missions and takes place about five years post graduation.
The clip kicks off with Rue (Zendaya) being interrogated by authorities about a recent trip to Mexico. The scene pivots to her involvement with a Mexican drug lord, which finds Rue in a tricky predicament of having to swallow what appears to be a ball of drugs and act as a mule.
Nate (Jacob Elordi) and Cassie’s (Sydney Sweeney) toxic relationship ended with wedding bells, as the trailer shows the couple getting married, which is sure to come with plenty of drama. Maddie (Alexa Demie) also hops behind the camera to direct some adult content photo shoots for Cassie, who has rekindled their friendship.
Lexi (Maude Apatow) looks to have landed her dream job working on the set of a TV show. Euphoria also welcomes the returns of the late Eric Dane (who portrays Cal Jacobs), Colman Domingo (Ali), Dominic Fike (Elliot), Hunter Schafer (Jules) and Chloe Cherry (Faye).
“Mom, I really need to come home,” a teary-eyed Rue pleads with her mother. The superstar actress is also seen in the trailer being pulled over by police during a traffic stop, which appears to lead to the intense interrogation.
There’s also some new blood injected into season three, which will find appearances from Sharon Stone, former NFL star Marshawn Lynch, Rosalía, Danielle Deadwyler, Trisha Paytas, Natasha Lyonne and Eli Roth.
Season two aired in 2022, which came three years after a dynamic opening season in 2019.
Watch the Euphoria trailer above. Season three returns on April 12 on HBO, with the eight-episode season set to wrap on May 31.
The third and final day of the 2026 Tecate Pa’l Norte festival on Sunday (March 29) brought the triumphant return of The Killers to Monterrey, Mexico — with plenty of music and Spanish dialogues from lead singer Brandon Flowers — as well as the comeback of Zoé after an eight-year absence, and the energy of singer-songwriter Halsey, who celebrated the Mexican rock trio The Warning as “hometown heroes.”
Panteón Rococó added a festive touch to close out the marathon day with its brand of ska, and Djo took the audience on a musical journey filled with synthesizers and melodic guitars, creating an intimate moment full of nostalgia and joy. Molotov stood out with their punk rock and irreverent lyrics, while the veteran band Los Cardenales de Nuevo León reaffirmed their status as legends of regional Mexican music.
The final day of activities at what is considered the largest music festival in northern Mexico also delivered thrilling moments with performances by Siddartha, Omar Courtz, Santos Bravos, Rusowsky, Yami Safdie, Moenia, Love of Lesbian, Marky Ramone and Daniela Spalla. Among the surprises the festival offered was a performance by the female duo Los Horóscopos de Durango, as well as a ‘90s party brought to life by bands such as OV7, Magneto and JNS.
In total, Tecate Pa’l Norte 2026 brought together approximately 300,000 people over its three days, according to estimates from the organizers based on figures recorded in recent years. In its 14th edition, the acclaimed festival — founded by Apodaca Group and in recent years associated with promoter Ocesa — was held from March 27 to March 29 at Parque Fundidora in this city bordering the United States.
Below, read about five of our favorite moments from Day 3 of the festival. (Click for summaries of Day 1 and Day 2.)
