Euphoria is building up to its third — and possibly last — finale with several characters potentially being set up for an onscreen death.
Based on the Israeli series of the same name, Euphoria followed troubled high school student Rue (Zendaya) as she struggled to remain sober after rehab. The series also explored topics including mental illness, toxic relationships, sexuality and more. After its premiere in 2019, the show’s ensemble cast, which included Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Colman Domingo quickly skyrocketed to fame.
Ahead of the season 3 finale, which airs May 31, Elordi’s character, Nate, was killed off with a rattlesnake bite.
“That was a cool way to go. Nate was someone who has made so many mistakes and made so many dark choices,” Elordi explained in a segment that aired after the May 24 episode. “It’s cool to see it all come to what it’s come to.”
Elordi recalled having to film in a coffin, adding, “My shoulders were touching the side and they couldn’t move my arms. Then they would drill the lid on it and it would get dark. It was really nice, actually. It was quite peaceful in there.”
At the end of the segment, Elordi reflected on his time playing Nate.
“It’s a bittersweet thing,” he said. “This show is a massive part of — not just my career — but my life. It’s been amazing and I’m so proud of being a part of this.”
Nate isn’t the only one on the chopping block. Keep scrolling for every possible character death scenario ahead of the season 3 finale:
Rue

Three seasons of shenanigans could catch up with Rue (Zendaya) in the finale. It would also make sure the show can’t coming back for more episodes since season 3 has been presumed to be the final season.
Cassie

Nate was the first to go but could Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) be next?
Maddy
If not Cassie, Maddy’s (Alexa Demie) deal with Alamo definitely puts her at risk of being in danger.
Alamo or Laurie
In a war between Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and Laurie (Martha Kelly), one — or both? — of them won’t make it out alive.
Faye or Wayne
After Faye (Chloe Cherry) exposed Rue, either her time is up — or Wayne (Toby Wallace) will get what is coming for him. Wayne self-identifying as a Nazi should make him a more viable target but it remains unclear what creator Sam Levinson has in store.
Kitty
There is no way Anna Van Patten‘s character Kitty is being taken to Mexico for a BBL and coming out of it alive.
