Euphoria season 3 finale brings deaths and reunions

1. Juni 2026

HBO's drama wrapped its third season on a dramatic note with multiple character deaths and an emotional reconciliation between former best friends Cassie and Maddy.

Nate Jacobs died in episode 7 after being buried alive by a loan shark and bitten by a rattlesnake. Jacob Elordi told Entertainment Weekly he sensed the end coming, noting he knew Nate would get his just desserts at some point. Rue Bennett's death unfolded in the finale after she unknowingly ingested fentanyl disguised as Percocet following a manic episode tied to news about Fezco.

Was die Leute sagen

Viewers express shock and mixed emotions over Rue's death and multiple character fates in the Euphoria season 3 finale, with criticism of the writing and praise for emotional impact.

Rue dies, Nate dies, Jules paints a picture, Cassie is sad, Lexi regrets how she acted, Maddy is free I guess, Ali becomes the main character out of nowhere
