Euphoria star Angus Cloud passed away before filming for Season 3 had begun, but the show creator Sam Levinson shared how they found a way to honour him posthumously.
The 41-year-old filmmaker recently attended the Season 3 premiere, and told the press how he decided to keep Cloud alive in the show.
“There’s a lot of scenes where people are talking to him on the phone. I thought if I couldn’t keep him alive in life, then maybe within the show I could keep him alive there. The whole thing was a way to honour him,” Levinson said.
Cloud played the character of Fezco in the show, who was a drug dealer and his future remained uncertain at the end of Season 2, as it ended on a cliffhanger.
However, now that the show’s creator has confirmed that he lives on, Euphoria fans got a clue into where Fezco stands.
Although fans on social media initially had an apprehensive reaction to Levinson including Cloud in the show, as they hoped he didn’t use an A.I-generated voice for his character, the majority was glad to see another glimpse of him.
The actor tragically died due to a drug overdose in 2023, after he appeared on the show in 2022.
Cloud’s family later shared that he had been struggling with mental health, and grief after his father’s passing.
