“Euphoria” was renewed for Season 3 in February 2022, just ahead of its Season 2 finale. The time that followed, though, was studded with controversy and tragedy for the series. In March, HBO refuted a report that alleged that on-set conditions were toxic and/or unsafe. In August, series regular Barbie Ferreira announced her departure via Instagram. Then, in 2023, cast member Dominic Fike said he’d nearly lost his job because he’d been high on drugs while filming several Season 2 scenes. And in July of that year, Angus Cloud, who played the soft-spoken Fezco, died at age 25.
Viewers will recall that Season 2 ended with Rue getting clean, Cassie and Nate breaking up, Nate having his father arrested, Fez getting shot during a police standoff that ended with the death of Ash, and the culmination of Lexi’s absolutely bonkers play. (Read a full finale recap.)
