On Friday, Feb. 14, HBO announced that the former NFL running back will be joining the third season of teen drama, “Euphoria.” The news was revealed via a statement from HBO, as well as an Instagram post accompanying the announcement.

"I'm hella juiced about the show and getting a chance to work with the people in front and behind the camera,” said Lynch in a statement. “At the end of the day, I'm just thankful for the opportunity."

Lynch previously starred in the 2023 comedy “Bottoms” as a teacher named Mr. G, who was the sponsor of a girls high school fight club. He also stars in the 2025 comedy action film, “Love Hurts.”

“Euphoria” tells the story of Rue Bennett (Zendaya), a teenage drug addict grappling with her newfound sobriety. The show, which was created by Sam Levinson, first premiered in 2019, and is a loose adaptation of an Israeli series of the same name. 

The show’s second season aired in 2022. Season 3 of “Euphoria” is currently in production in Los Angeles, with Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, Hunter Schafer, and Colman Domingo set to return as main cast members. Also joining the cast is Spanish singer Rosalía.
