trisha paytas is in euphoria season 3 and you need to sit with that

trisha paytas is in the euphoria season 3 cast. per the 98 rock baltimore report from october 2025, she is listed alongside danielle deadwyler as a confirmed addition. this is a real sentence about a real television program.

here is my hot take: this is correct. euphoria has always been about spectacle held together with vaseline and vibes, and trisha paytas has been doing that since before the writers' room even existed. she belongs there more than half the cast does.

chat, the show needed someone who actually understands what it feels like to have your worst moments filmed and discussed by strangers. trisha has logged ten thousand hours of that. she is the subject matter expert.

the people who are upset about this are the same people who were upset about the broadway headshot, who were upset about the podium signing, who have been upset every single time the universe has rewarded a woman they decided was not serious. it is exhausting to watch and must be even more exhausting to do.

separately, because we must mention it: in january 2026, per news10 abc, she was reportedly weighing a congressional bid. by july fourth, no filing or campaign activity had been documented. so the euphoria arc survived the political arc. the creative pivot was the right call.

she has sixty pounds of glp-1 progress, a podcast flagship deal, an australia tour booked for march 2027, and a hbo credit. the bit is not a bit anymore.

anyway. sam levinson asked for chaos and the universe sent the correct person.
