Euphoria Season 3 Divides Critics Over Grown-Up Drama and Shock

Euphoria returns for season 3 four years after season 2, with Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi; critics are divided—some praise its bold mood and performances, others call it tired, exploitative or disjointed—while controversy surrounds a trailer showing Cassie, now an OnlyFans creator, in a sexualized baby pose; the first episode centers on Cassie pressuring fiancé Nate to let her post videos to fund their wedding, and Labrinth is not composing this season; tributes to late cast members are paid as the show pushes into adult territory.
