One of HBO's most popular shows is returning after a four-year hiatus. Indian fans waiting for the Zendaya-starrer can stream the show on JioHotstar from April 15, the platform officially announced.
The show is set four years after the events of Season 2. Filming for Season 3 ended in November 2025, putting an end to unwarranted speculations about its return. The Season 2 finale was dropped on Feb. 27, 2022.
Aside from Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Colman Domingo, and Sydney Sweeney, the third season will see new cast members Natasha Lyonne, Eli Roth, Jessica Blair, Danielle Deadwyler, Bill Bodner, and Colleen Camp.
Other returning cast members include Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Dominic Fike and Nika King, as well as Alanna Ubach, Daeg Faerch, Melvin Bonez Estes, Paula Marshall, Sophia Rose Wilson and Zak Steiner.
At the recent HBO MAX announcement in London, creator Sam Levison claimed Season 3 is their "best yet." He also dropped a few key plot details related to where we would find the key characters after all this time. “Five years felt like a natural place because if they’d gone to college, they’d be out of college at that time. We basically pick up Rue (Zendaya) south of the border in Mexico, in debt to Laurie (Kelly), trying to come up with some very innovative ways to pay it off,” he said.
Levinson also revealed that Cassie (Sweeney) is engaged to Nate (Elordi) and living together in the suburbs, and "she’s very addicted to social media and envious of what appears to be the big lives that all of her high school classmates are living at this point in time.”
As for the other principal characters, Levinson shared that Jules (Schafer) has joined an art school, "very nervous about having a career as a painter and trying to avoid responsibility at all costs," while Maddy (Demie) is "working in Hollywood at a talent agency for a manager, she’s obviously got her own side hustles going. And Lexi (Apatow) is an assistant to a showrunner played by Sharon Stone, who is just absolutely delightful and a true icon.”
