Spoiler alert! This story includes details from Episodes 1 - 7 of HBO's "Euphoria."
Season 3 of "Euphoria" is prepared to go out with a bang following a shocking penultimate episode that saw the horrifying demise of Jacob Elordi's Nate Jacobs.
In the May 24 episode, Nate's financial troubles finally caught up to him with Naz (Jack Topalian), who he owed money to, and his partner Artur (Matthew Willig) burying Nate alive inside a coffin. Nate's only hope was a small hole that led up to the surface for air. Despite his efforts in yelling for help, that hole ended up being the very thing that killed him as a rattlesnake slithered into the coffin and fatally attacked him.
Nate's wife Cassie (Sydney Sweeney), meanwhile, attempted to gain her online following back, which she lost when she deleted her OnlyFans account, by sleeping with actor Dylan Reed (Homer Gere). In Cassie's defense, she was trying to raise the money that was needed to pay off Naz and free her husband.
Season 3 of "Euphoria" is set five years after the events of Season 2, with the characters of Sam Levinson's HBO teen drama wrestling with the "virtue of faith, the possibility of redemption, and the problem of evil," according to the series synopsis.

The new season returned to mixed reviews. USA TODAY TV Critic Kelly Lawler gave the new season ★★ out of four, writing that in the "four years since its last season and seven years since it began, 'Euphoria' has come back to a completely different zeitgeist ‒ and not just because Sydney Sweeney, Zendaya and newly minted Oscar nominee Jacob Elordi are all bona fide A-listers bigger than the show. The world has changed, the stars have changed and 'Euphoria' has changed."
"There is less passion and vibrancy to the show, even at its most objectionable moments," Lawler added. "The fire has gone out, the party drugs are all used up, and the lights have turned on at the club."
Here's what to know about when the final episode of "Euphoria" Season 3 will release and how to watch.

Will 'Euphoria' return for Season 4?
HBO Max has not made any announcements regarding Season 4 yet.
Series creator Sam Levinson, however, hinted Season 3 would be the series's last, telling Variety in an article published April 7 that he writes "every season like it's the last season" and has "no plans" for a Season 4, adding he is currently completely focused on delivering his best work with Season 3.
"I want to finish this as strong as I can. I’m cutting (Episodes) 7 and 8 still," Levinson told Variety. "I’m putting some finishing touches. I just want to deliver a (expletive) slam dunk season."
In April, Zendaya, on "The Drew Barrymore Show", also indicated the series would be ending with Season 3.
"I think so, yeah," Zendaya told Barrymore when asked if it was the final season. "That closure is coming."
