Season 3 of Euphoria slammed as 'different show' as major star quits

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Euphoria enthusiasts have suffered a lengthy near three-year wait since Season 2 aired in January 2022 - and now there has been a new hurdle.

Storm Reid, who portrayed Gia, the younger sister of Zendaya's character Rue, has announced her departure ahead of Season 3.

On the Governors Awards red carpet, Reid disclosed to Rotten Tomatoes: "I'm very excited for Season 3. Unfortunately, Gia's not returning to the third season, but I am so so indebted to the cast and the crew of that show, to HBO." Reid expressed her sentiments about the show's impact, saying, "Euphoria's a really special thing and I'm so glad that that's a part of my legacy and that I was a part of such a cultural phenomenon...

I can't wait to see what Season 3 has in store." The series is centred on Zendaya's character, Rue Bennett, as she grapples with drug addiction and strives towards recovery post-rehab, reports the Mirror.
