HBOdrama chief Francesca Orsi previously said the third seasonwas expected to air in 2025. It was later delayed, with production starting in mid 2025. Filming is set to take place across an expected nine months.
Showrunner Sam Levinson shared withEllethat the third season will be “film noir”-style centered on Zendaya’s Rue as she “explores what it means to be an individual with principles in a corrupt world.” The show’stime jumpwill set Season 3 approximately five years after the events of Season 2, taking the characters out of high school. Zendaya is also slated todirect an episode in Season 3.
“I’m so happy to be back. It feels like I’m with my OG family,” Sweeney said. “We’ve been doing this since I was 20 years old. There are many crew members who are still here from Season 1 and Season 2. It’s like a reunion.”
Sweeney previously said in 2024 that she was grateful for the long pause between Seasons 2 and 3. “I actually like it because there’s so much room for growth for both me as a person and also Cassie as a character,” Sweeney said.

I’ll be interested to see what happens too. It’s important because there’s only so much high school drama you can deal with.”
