Euphoria<\/a><\/em> fans have been anxiously waiting for updates regarding season 3 since <\/span>the series was renewed<\/a> two years ago, and\u00a0<\/span>Colman Domingo<\/a>\u00a0is <\/span>finally<\/span><\/i>\u00a0sharing a bit of insight of what’s to come.<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking with <\/span>Vanity Fair<\/a><\/em>\u00a0recently, the 54-year-old actor — who stars as recovering drug addict Ali Muhammad on the hit HBO show — played coy about any specific plot details surrounding the upcoming installment, though he did discuss how the losses of <\/span>Angus Cloud<\/a> and producer Kevin Turen affected the show.<\/span><\/p>\n “I’m in it,” Domingo tells the publication with a laugh. “What I know is that we will have a season three. It will be challenging in the most beautiful way. I always think that Monica Sisavat Solis\u200d Sam [Levinson] is examining hope and faith, especially when it comes to people who are struggling and trying to find their way. I know Sam Levinson and his heart, and I know he’s one of the kindest human beings that I know.”<\/span><\/p>\n Since the airing of <\/span>Euphoria<\/span><\/em>‘s season 2 finale in February 2022, the cast and crew have suffered two great losses. Cloud, who is best remembered for his portrayal of Fezco on the show, died\u00a0from an\u00a0<\/span>accidental overdose<\/a>\u00a0on July 31, 2023. He was 25.<\/span><\/p>\n Four months after Cloud’s death, Turen — who also worked on HBO’s\u00a0<\/span>The Idol<\/a>\u00a0—\u00a0<\/span><\/em>died suddenly on Nov. 12, 2023<\/a> from acute cardiac dysfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n Of how Domingo coped with their deaths, he tells\u00a0<\/span>Vanity Fair,\u00a0<\/span><\/i>“It was absolutely terrible because we felt like we lost one to the disease. And I’m sure it affected not only the creation of season three, because [Angus] was going to be a very strong part of it, but it’s\u2026I don’t know. We came together as a cast many times to grieve, to mourn, to laugh and enjoy all the things we know about Angus.”<\/span><\/p>\n “He was a wild one. I love him. He was a wild little brother. He was just sweet and funny and warm and odd at the same time. And I love people like that,” Domingo says of Cloud. “If you\u2019re not a little off, I have no business with you. You got to be a little off to be up in my life. He was all those things.”<\/span><\/p>\n He continues: “And then we lost Kevin, one of our producers. So we’ve had some losses. I know that Sam is conscious of that, and so I think it really helps to reexamine the work. We need to always not just ride on our laurels of, ‘Oh, we\u2019ve had a hit show. We’ve won Emmys,’ stuff like that. But he’s always wanting to redefine and say, ‘Why are we doing this? Why? Like really.’ And I think it’s a great question. Why exactly are we doing this?”<\/span><\/p>\n Season 2 left viewers on the edge of their seats with the heartbreaking death of Fezco’s younger brother, Ashtray, played by Javon Walton, following a tense standoff involving the police. It also included an apparent fatal shooting that left Fezco’s fate uncertain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The future of Rue, played by Zendaya, was left uncertain as well, given her struggle with sobriety in earlier episodes. The second installment concluded with a voiceover, in which Rue stated, “I stayed clean through the rest of the school year. I wish I could say that was a decision I made. In some ways, it was just easier. I don\u2019t know if this feeling will last forever, but I am trying.”<\/span><\/p>\n In November 2023, HBO confirmed that\u00a0the coming-of-age drama would start production in 2024, though <\/span>it won’t grace screens until 2025<\/a>\u00a0due to the <\/span>2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes<\/a>. Details surrounding the season 3 plot are being kept tightly under wraps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
