The show will return in 2025, HBO Chairman and CEO Casey Bloys confirmed last november.
The first two seasons of Levinson's racy series starred Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Demie, Elordi, the late Angus Cloud, Barbie Ferreira and Dominic Fike.
During a fall press event, bits from the successful show were shown in a reel.
Included with the snippets was a note that read: 'Coming in 2025.'
The delay is partly due to the now-resolved WGA strike and the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. Levinson's and Zendaya's packed schedules also contributed to the lag.
Last August, Levinson teased limited details about the upcoming installment in an interview with Elle.
The director offered insight into what would happen to Zendaya's character Rue during the show's new run of episodes, revealing that her role would be to 'explore what it means to be an individual with principles in a corrupt world.'
He additionally noted that he envisions the show leaning into 'film noir.'

Levinson also praised Zendaya's work ethic and her dedication to pushing herself as a performer.
'She's the most competitive person I know, in a good way. She's constantly growing as an artist and always seeking a challenge. She's never complacent,' he said.
Zendaya has starred as the drug-addled teen since Euphoria debuted on HBO in 2019.
The first season of the program ran for eight episodes and was followed by a pair of specials released in 2020 and 2021.
Euphoria's second season premiered in 2022 to critical and commercial acclaim.
