Sharon Stone has been cast on the upcoming third season of Euphoria.
The Oscar-nominated star will appear on the show's long-delayed third chapter alongside Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Eric Dane and Maude Apatow.
"There is little more exciting than going to work with this team of thrilling talent," Stone said in a statement shared on the show's social media.

"From the genius of [creator and showrunner] Sam Levinson to the raw sophistication of this profoundly moving cast and tight crew," she continued.
"I am honored to be Euphoric."
What to Read Next
Details of Stone's character remain under wraps for the time being. However, fans hope the star would share the screen with Demie's Maddy Perez, who is an avid fan of the fashion in Stone's 1995 movie Casino.
Season three of the dark teen drama has been in the works for quite some time given that the second instalment premiered in 2022.
Earlier this year, a first-look image from the new episodes was revealed, seeing Zendaya reprising the role of Rue Bennett.
The delays in production will be translated into a time jump for the story, explaining why the actors have all aged since the first batch of episodes.

While Stone has joined the Euphoria ensemble, there are some cast members who won't be retuning in chapter three.
Fans won't get to see more of Barbie Ferreira's Kat Hernandez as the star previously announced she would exit the show. Actor Angus Cloud, who played Fezco, died aged 25 in July 2023.
At the end of last year, Stormy Reid confirmed she would no longer appear as Rue's younger sister Gia.
"Unfortunately, Gia's not returning to the third season, but I am so, so indebted to the cast and the crew of that show, to HBO," Reid said last November.
Euphoria airs on HBO and streams on Max in the US, and on Sky Atlantic and Sky Go/NOW in the UK.
