Euphoria is gearing up by expanding its ensemble for Season 3, adding Emmy-nominated actor Asante Blackk to the cast. Known for his standout roles in When They See Us and This Is Us, Blackk will take on a significant recurring role as Kidd, a runner for a powerful kingpin, played by new series regular Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, according to Deadline.
The show’s original stars, including Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow, will return as series regulars. Colman Domingo will also reprise his role as a guest star.
Get this: Season 3 will also see new faces join the cast, with Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Toby Wallace joining as series regulars. Guest stars include Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, Kadeem Hardison, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, and Anna Van Patten.
Of course, details about Season 3’s plot remain primarily under wraps; it has been confirmed that there will be a time jump.
Asante Blackk received widespread acclaim for his performance in Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us, earning a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series in 2019.
Congrats to Asante Blackk. Can’t wait to see Euphoria come back on HBO.
