At 21 years of age, Jacob Elordi marked his first appearance in the HBO drama Euphoria. Starring alongside Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya, the dark teen drama found the actor gaining widespread popularity for a role that sharply contrasted his personality. Playing a high-school jock, his on-screen persona served oozing vibes of modern teenage themes of social toxicity and his spectacular portrayal of the same won him recognition.

Now, nearly two years after the end of the second season, he opened up on some interesting developmental news for the third.

Jacob Elordi sheds light on the prospect of his return for Euphoria season three

Landing on 27th February 2022, the last episode of season two of Euphoria left Jacob Elordi’s Nate Jacobs with a loaded gun and an even darker turn of character. Seeded with revenge, the anticipated unfolding of that character arc has now overrun its anticipation and has echoed through the now 26-year-old actor as well. In his latest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he hoped for a quick revival else “it’s going to be like they’re gonna have to Benjamin Button me or something.” 

The light-hearted remarks came as the age gap between Elordi and his character has grown even more. Moreover, he also stated, “I’m assuming that we’ll have to go forward” on a possible time jump. Finally, the Priscilla actor also acknowledged that it would seem “weird” if there existed no leap for the third season. While the first two seasons of the show landed within two years of each other, the next has yet to undergo filming.

Remarkably, during the show’s hiatus, Jacob Elordi has gone on to pursue and hone his acting skills earning nominations.
