Jeff Wahlberg has been confirmed to join the cast of HBO’s acclaimed series Euphoria for its third season, marking a significant milestone in his acting career. Announced in an exclusive report by Deadline on November 10, 2025, Wahlberg will take on a recurring role in the highly anticipated season, which is currently in production and scheduled to premiere in spring 2026.
Born on July 17, 1996, in Boston, Massachusetts, Jeff Wahlberg is 29 years old. He is part of the prominent Wahlberg family, being the nephew of famous actors Donnie and Mark Wahlberg. He has a fraternal twin sister, Kyra, and a younger brother, Daniel. Wahlberg pursued his acting career in Los Angeles after graduating high school in 2014 instead of attending college.
Jeff’s journey in acting began in 2012 with the film A Feeling from Within. His breakout came with the critically acclaimed independent drama Don’t Come Back from the Moon in 2017, which showcased his talents and earned praise from The New York Observer. Following that success, he played Diego in Paramount’s Dora and the Lost City of Gold in 2019, receiving accolades for his humor and performance. He has also appeared in productions such as the Apple TV+ drama Cherry and the Hulu series The Girl from Plainville, along with a lead role in the upcoming horror film Corpus.
Wahlberg’s diverse heritage is noteworthy; his mother, Bennie, hails from the Dominican Republic, while his father, Jim Wahlberg, has a mix of Irish, Swedish, French-Canadian, English, and Scottish ancestry. This background has enabled him to portray characters across a spectrum of ethnicities, further enriching his skill set as an actor.
While specifics regarding Jeff’s character in Euphoria Season 3 are still under wraps, the level of secrecy surrounding the storyline has been likened to “The JFK Files,” as noted by cast member Jacob Elordi. Wahlberg is among over 18 new actors joining the series, and his recurring role suggests that he will be integral to the unfolding narrative. The new season promises to take viewers on a deeper exploration of its characters, showcasing a five-year time jump into adulthood and portrayed through the lens of creator Sam Levinson’s concept of “film noir.”
This role in Euphoria not only expands Wahlberg’s portfolio but also places him alongside a talented ensemble in one of HBO’s most talked-about shows. Fans are eager to see how his character will unfold in this complex, evolving storyline, and the anticipation surrounding Euphoria’s return continues to grow.
