The whirlwind drama series came to an end Sunday night on HBO with the Season 3 finale, which concluded with the death of Zendaya&#039;s character, Rue, from an accidental overdose.<\/p>\n<p> In a behind-the-scenes feature aired on HBO after the finale, series creator Sam Levinson said, &quot;I felt like it was an honest ending. An honest ending is that people like Rue don&#039;t survive... I think ultimately, I wanted to tell an honest story about addiction. I also wanted to tell a story about grief and the emotional turmoil it can cause.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p> The creator of the series &quot;Bitter Rivalry&quot; says that the second season will be released &quot;as soon as possible.&quot;.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> Watch the first trailer for Questlove&#039;s documentary &quot;Earth, Wind &amp; Fire,&quot; featuring Michelle and Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> In a gripping new trailer for a documentary, a New York socialite who believed he was an alien creates a cult following of attractive models.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> When Rue overdoses, she dreams of Fezko, played by Angus Cloud until his death in 2023. The episode features previously unused footage of the two actors. &quot;I wanted to tell this story for Angus and for the people who weren&#039;t given a second chance,&quot; Levinson said in the video.<\/p>\n<p> Levinson also told the newspaper <em>New York Times<\/em> , That the third season marks the official conclusion of the series. &quot;In terms of the story we wanted to tell, which is about addiction and its consequences, for me this feels like the end,&quot; he said.<\/p>\n<p> He added that he&#039;d originally planned &quot;a different storyline for Roo&#039;s character.&quot; The news of Cloud&#039;s death influenced how he ultimately crafted the final season. &quot;I&#039;ve always been deeply concerned about the prevalence of fentanyl, and we&#039;ve touched on it throughout the seasons. But after his death, I had to rethink the script, and I thought, &#039;You can&#039;t tell a story about drug addiction today without showing the real consequences. Most people don&#039;t get a second chance.&#039;&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> Levinson explained that the show&#039;s story is &quot;ultimately tragic, but it&#039;s also true.&quot; &quot;If you experiment with drugs or take them today, it&#039;s quite possible it will kill you.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> Earlier this year, Levinson said <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> , that he wanted to keep Cloud&#039;s character on the show. &quot;Keeping Angus in the story was like, if I can&#039;t control this in life, at least I can control it in work,&quot; he explained. &quot;The grief surrounding Angus really impacted this season. He was someone I loved deeply. And someone I fought for deeply. Look, I&#039;ve struggled with addiction. I&#039;m very knowledgeable about that. So you&#039;re always kind of prepared, but losing Angus really shook me and angered me for so many reasons.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> Zendaya previously hinted that the third season would be the last for <em>\u00ab&quot;Euphoria<\/em> \u00bb&quot; In April, during an interview on <em>The Drew Barrymore Show<\/em> Barrymore asked point-blank if this would be the final season, to which Zendaya replied, &quot;I think so.&quot; She added, &quot;The show&#039;s ending is just around the corner.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>The Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p> The 50 Best Saturday Night Live Characters of All Time<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> Denzel Washington Movies: Ranked from Worst to Best.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> The 70 Greatest Comedies of the 21st Century<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Subscribe to the RollingStone newsletter.
