Cassie gets what she wants. In Euphoria, that is never a victory so much as a warning. Season 3 is already shaping up to turn desire into consequence, and while the new episodes are not expected until April, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney have lit up fans’ screens well ahead of time. 

So where exactly were Euphoria’s most combustible couple spotted together, and why did it immediately spark wedding-era speculation?

Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney were seen together at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, an appearance that quickly rippled through pop culture circles. Their timing aligned with another major industry moment. On Sunday, February 8, during the 41st Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Elordi and Sweeney were among the recipients of the 2026 Virtuosos Award.

The honor recognizes performers whose recent work has placed them at the center of the film conversation. Alongside Chase Infiniti, Amy Madigan, Wagner Moura, Renate Reinsve, Teyana Taylor, and Jeremy Allen White, both actors appeared in person to discuss their work and receive their awards. This reinforces just how far Euphoria’s leads have evolved beyond the show that made them household names.

For fans steeped in two seasons of emotional sabotage, seeing them side by side again felt like a soft prelude to what Season 3 is about to unleash.

In December 2025, Euphoria creator Sam Levinson confirmed a development few fans saw coming: Nate and Cassie are married in Season 3. The series picks up five years after the events of Season 2, turning what began as secrecy and obsession into something legally binding. The reveal sent shockwaves through the fandom, reopening debates about whether this union represents growth, denial, or the ultimate Euphoria trap.

Season 3 is expected to expand its world significantly, pulling its characters into adult power structures and new social arenas. Among the most talked-about additions is Sharon Stone, who joins the cast as a studio executive. A newly released image shows her in a sharp all-black look behind a desk, pen in hand, with the Warner Bros. water tower visible through the window, hinting at storylines tied to influence, image-making, and control.

With new characters, a time jump, and long-awaited resolutions, Euphoria appears poised for its most ambitious chapter yet.
