Casting

In August 2022, Barbie Ferreira, who portrayed Kat Hernandez for the first two seasons, announced her departure from the series ahead of its third season. In July 2023, Angus Cloud tragically died from an accidental drug overdose. Due to this, he will not be returning as Fezco for the third season, possibly impacting the storyline as Fezco had a strong role. In July 2024, it was confirmed that Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Eric Dane, Maude Apatow, Alexa Demie, Hunter Schafer, Nika King, Colman Domingo and Dominic Fike would return for the season. In November 2024, Storm Reid, who portrayed Gia Bennett for the first two seasons, confirmed that she would be leaving the series ahead of the third season. In February 2025, it was re-confirmed that Zendaya, Sweeney, Elodri, Schafer, Dane, Demie, Apatow and Fike would return as series regulars, while Martha Kelly and Chloe Cherry were upped to series regulars. In addition, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Toby Wallace joined the cast in recurring roles, while Domingo would guest star alongside new cast members: ROSALIÁ, Marshawn Lynch, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Kadeem Hardison, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert and Anna Van Patten.

Trivia

• It's been reported that Heidi Bivens, the costume designer, will not be returning for Season 3. Angelina Vitto, her assistant costume designer in Season 2, will take the reins.
• According to Zendaya, Season 3 could potentially "explore the characters out of high school", suggesting a significant time jump in Season 3".
• On November 2, 2023, Season 3 was slated for a 2025 release, announced by HBO boss Casey Bloys at a press event. The Sam Levinson series’ title was shown in a sizzle reel that said “Coming in 2025” alongside “The Last of Us” Season 2, “The White Lotus” Season 3 and the “It” prequel series “Welcome to Derry”.
• On November 12, 2023, Kevin Turen died from acute cardiac dysfunction and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy after suffering a cardiac emergency while driving his Tesla vehicle on autopilot mode. He was hence unable to return as executive producer for Season 3. His death happened exactly three days after the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike came to an end.
• On February 14, 2025, it was confirmed that the eight-episode season will feature a time jump that takes the characters out of high school, and is set to premiere in 2026, four years after Season 2.
