Euphoria is back for season three, here’s how you can watch in the UK

It’s been way too long since we last saw Zendaya’s Rue hit absolute rock bottom in the Euphoria season two finale, before vowing to get her life back on track. But if you’ve been missing the gang’s chaotic and complicated lives, Euphoria is officially back for season three, and there’s an all-new way to stream in the UK.

From the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes to scheduling conflicts as its cast of celebrities, including Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney shot to global fame, the third season has been hit with delay after delay. The death of Angus Cloud in 2023 also forced wholesale rewrites and a complete change in creative direction.

But, at long last, Euphoria has returned. Set five years after the season two finale, the new season follows the cast as they navigate young adulthood. Rue’s paying off her debts to drug lord Laurie in Mexico, Cassie and Nate are adjusting to married life and Jules is living life as a sugarbaby to rich men. Here’s how to watch Euphoria season three in the UK.

Where to watch ‘Euphoria’ season 3 in the UK

Euphoria is an HBO original. With the launch of HBO Max in the UK last month, fans can now subscribe to the streaming service to watch the third season, or catch up on the first and second.

An HBO Max subscription starts from £4.99 per month for the ad-free tier. Don’t want ads?

The HBO Max standard tier costs £9.99 per month and comes with full HD streaming on two devices with 30 downloads. The premium tier costs £14.99 per month and comes with 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Atmos and four simultaneous streams.

If you’re an Amazon Prime customer, you can also subscribe to HBO Max via Prime Channels – this is the most convenient way to subscribe if you already spend an inordinate amount of time on Amazon Prime Video. You’ll be able to watch HBO Max alongside your existing Prime content, with a single bill and the same interface.

One of the best-value ways to get HBO Max is through Sky’s Ultimate TV package, which starts from £24 per month. The bundle includes Sky TV, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and discovery+, with Hayu set to be added later in 2026. That’s £26.95 worth of streaming services, plus Sky TV, for just £24 per month.
