Euphoria Season 3 Addresses Angus Cloud’s Character Three Years After Death

HBO will debut Euphoria season three on April 12. The release arrives nearly three years after Angus Cloud died in July 2023 at age 25.

Creator’s response

Showrunner Sam Levinson spoke about how the series honors Angus. Levinson said he loved Angus and tried to help him stay sober while they worked together.

He acknowledged he could not save Angus in life. But he could preserve and extend Fezco’s story on screen.

Fezco’s storyline

Levinson described a large arc for Fezco in the new season. The character is written as having been in prison for several years.

The writer-producer said the arc gives the role depth and momentum. He believes Angus would have been proud of the work.

Support behind the scenes

Levinson said he had grown close to Angus before his death. He often invited him over to discuss plans for season three.

Those conversations were also intended to encourage Angus to take care of himself. Levinson urged him to get in shape for the character’s tougher physical demands.

Timing and context

The timing of the new season means the series now confronts its loss publicly. Euphoria season three addresses Angus Cloud’s character as the show returns nearly three years after his death.

Levinson discussed these decisions in interviews published April 7 and April 8 with Filmogaz.com. He emphasized keeping Fezco alive as a way to honor Angus’s memory.
