Since it first premiered in 2019, Sam Levinson’s hit HBO Max teen drama series Euphoria has been the launching pad for several of Hollywood’s biggest stars today, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and Hunter Schafer.

After a four-year hiatus, the show has finally returned to our screens with its highly anticipated third and final season, which premiered on April 12. The show makes a five-year time jump from its last season. Season three sees the return of several of its original cast members as well as fresh faces – including Richard Gere’s son, Homer Gere.

Homer stars in the latest instalment as up-and-coming actor Dylan Reid, a client of Alexa Demie’s character Maddie, who now works as a talent manager in Hollywood.
