Euphoria Season 3 Premiere: Honoring Angus Cloud and Addressing Loss
The latest episode of Euphoria introduced Anna Van Patten's character, Kitty, who found herself in a disturbing group sex scene with multiple men. Kitty joined a club after another character, Angel, disappeared from rehab. Initially hired to dance for customers, Kitty ended up in a private room with four men who engaged in sexual activities with her. Rue, another character, witnessed the situation on camera and tried to offer help, but Kitty dismissed her concerns. The episode took a dark turn when a robbery occurred at the club, leading Rue to uncover the culprit. Meanwhile, Maddy took Cassie under her wing, resulting in Cassie gaining popularity on OnlyFans.
Euphoria, which premiered in 2019, follows the story of Rue, a troubled high school student struggling with sobriety after rehab. The show was renewed for a second season shortly after its debut but faced delays in airing the new episodes. Season 3 was initially set to air in 2025 but encountered obstacles, including creator Sam Levinson's commitments to other projects and industry strikes. The cast experienced a loss when Angus Cloud passed away at 25 due to an accidental overdose. The show will address the fate of his character, Fezco, and include a tribute to him on screen.
During the season 3 premiere in April 2026, Levinson spoke about the challenges of the show's production and the importance of honoring those they lost. He emphasized the impact of Angus Cloud's death and the need to pay respect to him and others. The show will feature scenes with Fezco to keep his memory alive and honor his legacy. Euphoria airs on HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
