The cast of “Euphoria” suffered a devastating loss when actor Angus Cloud passed away in July 2023. Now, almost three years later, the show is set to return for season three. At the show’s premiere, creator Sam Levinson opened up about how the series pays tribute to the beloved actor.
Levinson spoke with Variety on the red carpet at the “Euphoria” season three premiere. During the discussion, he was asked if they honored Cloud “on set in any way.”
He responded, “I mean, there are a lot of scenes where people are either talking to him on the phone. I thought if I couldn’t keep him alive in life, then maybe within this show that I can control, I can keep him alive there.”
Levinson also stated that he “can’t wait” for people to see the “last few episodes” as Cloud would be “cracking up.” The “Euphoria” creator also said “the whole thing” was a way to honor the actor.
