Overview
- Critics who viewed only the first three of eight episodes report a scattered season with thin storytelling and heavy style.
- Rotten Tomatoes lists a 48% score from 21 critic reviews, which is the lowest rating the series has received.
- Reviewers still highlight strong acting, with Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney earning consistent praise.
- The new season premieres April 12 on HBO/Max in the United States and April 13 at 9 p.m. on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.
- The return comes after a long gap since 2022 and a time jump into the characters’ early 20s, a shift several reviews say changes the tone.
