After a long wait, filming for the third season of Euphoria is finally underway, and new details are emerging about where life has taken our favorite characters. A significant time jump will move the story beyond high school, and one character’s potential new path is generating considerable conversation online. Reports and set photos suggest that Alexa Demie’s Maddy Perez will be seen in a new light, with scenes filmed at a location that has led to widespread speculation about her storyline.
Maddy’s Reported New Surroundings
Recent rumors, fueled by photos from the set, indicate that Maddy Perez’s storyline in the new season will involve a nightclub called “The Silver Slipper.” These images, which surfaced on social media, show actress Alexa Demie filming near the club, leading many fans and entertainment outlets to speculate that Maddy will be working as a stripper. The setting’s atmosphere seems to fit with the show’s gritty tone, making the rumors appear believable to some viewers.
However, it is crucial to note that these reports remain unconfirmed. No official statement has been released by HBO or representatives for Alexa Demie that clarifies Maddy’s exact role at the club. The only confirmed information is that Maddy will be in scenes set around a nightclub. As one report cautions, knowing Maddy’s character, she could be at the club for any number of reasons—whether for drama, fashion, or her signature emotional chaos.
A Time Jump and a New World for the Characters
Season 3 will officially premiere in 2026. The production schedule faced multiple delays, but filming began in Los Angeles in February 2025 and wrapped up in November 2025. A major creative decision for this season is a time jump, which means the characters will no longer be in high school but navigating the complexities of the adult world. Series creator Sam Levinson has described his vision for this season as a “film noir” that will explore what it means for Rue to have principles in a corrupt world.
Zendaya, who plays Rue, has expressed her own excitement about this narrative shift, stating, “I think it’ll be exciting to explore the characters out of high school” and that she wants to see what Rue’s sobriety journey looks like, as well as how all the characters figure out their lives after graduation.
The Returning and New Faces of East Highland
The main cast from previous seasons is set to return, including Zendaya (Rue), Hunter Schafer (Jules), Jacob Elordi (Nate), Sydney Sweeney (Cassie), and Alexa Demie (Maddy). They will be joined by new cast members, including Grammy winner Rosalía and Marshawn Lynch.
Tragically, the show will continue without Angus Cloud, who played Fezco and who passed away in 2023. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by both the cast and the audience. Other characters, like Barbie Ferreira’s Kat, will also not be returning after the actress announced her departure from the series.
Fan Reactions to the Maddy Rumors
The possibility of Maddy working at a strip club has sparked a lively discussion among fans on social media. While some are surprised by the potential direction, others have pointed out that it fits the show’s pattern of exploring difficult and complex realities. On social media, one fan commented on the news, writing, “For some, Maddy is the reason why we watch Euphoria…” This sentiment highlights how invested the audience is in each character’s journey.
Despite the rumors, the overarching message from fans is one of support for Alexa Demie and the character of Maddy, whatever her storyline may be. Many are simply eager to see the character back on screen after the long hiatus. As one fan noted, they started watching the show for Zendaya but now continue for Alexa Demie’s performance as well.
What Else to Expect in Season 3
While Maddy’s path is a topic of much discussion, she is not the only character whose future is unclear. Leaked set photos have also shown Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie in a wedding dress, walking down an aisle with a monogram that reads “C&N,” leading to intense speculation about a potential marriage to Nate Jacobs. Whether this is reality or a dream sequence remains one of the season’s many mysteries.
With eight episodes planned, Season 3 is widely expected to be the drama’s final season. HBO has promised a conclusion that feels complete and emotional for the characters audiences have followed for years.
