“I’m hella juiced about the show and getting a chance to work with the people in front and behind the camera,” Lynch said about his role. “At the end of the day, I’m just thankful for the opportunity.”
The former NFL superstar is no stranger to acting in his post-playing career. Lynch has appeared in several shows and movies including Bottoms, where he played a high school teacher, as well as Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The League, where he played himself.
Per Deadline, Euphoria has just begun filming its third season, with the show scheduled to return in 2026.
