‘Euphoria’s Storm Reid Not Returning For Season 3
A familiar face will not be back for the upcoming third season of Euphoria. Storm Reid, who portrayed Rue’s (Zendaya) younger sister Gia Bennett on the first two seasons of the HBO teen drama, will not return.
“I’m very excited for Season 3,” Reid told Rotten Tomatoes on the Governors Awards red carpet. “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. 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.”
