Eric Dane is already headed back to work after revealing his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis.

The actor, 52, will begin filming Season 3 of “Euphoria” on Monday — just four days after announcing he has the neurodegenerative disease, which causes loss of muscle control over time.

“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of ‘Euphoria’ next week,” he told People on Thursday.

Dane will reprise his role as Cal Jacobs, a demanding patriarch with a hidden sex addiction.

Cal was arrested for his past crimes during the intense Season 2 finale, which aired in February 2022.

The “Grey’s Anatomy” alum confirmed at the time that he would be returning for the third — and likely final — season of the hit HBO series.

Dane teased during an interview with Variety that there might be some “redemption” for his complex character in the future.

“I can’t imagine Cal’s life from solitary confinement,” he said in 2022. “It’s tough to work Cal into the storyline when he’s behind bars.”

While Season 3 was originally expected to be released in 2024, filming was delayed due to the cast’s busy schedules, creative differences, the 2023 writer’s strike and the tragic death of Angus Cloud in July 2023.

Although it is unclear what will happen to Dane’s character, he is excited to dive into work after such a difficult year.

The TV star shared Thursday that had been diagnosed with ALS and asked fans for “privacy” while navigating the debilitating disease.

“I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter,” he said.

Dane shares daughters Billie Beatrice, 15, and Georgia Geraldine, 13, with wife Rebecca Gayheart. The couple, who wed in 2004, called off their divorce last month — seven years after Gayheart first filed the paperwork.

ALS, which is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, “is a nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord” and progresses over time, according to the Mayo Clinic.

There is no cure.
