Euphoria’s Storm Reid out of season three

OHMYGOSSIP — Storm Reid has been axed from ‘Euphoria’.
The 21-year-old actress played Gia in the first two seasons of the HBO drama but has revealed her character Gia – the younger sister of lead star Zendaya’s alter ego Rue Bennett – won’t be part of the long-awaited third series.
However, Storm insisted she harbours no bitterness over the situation and is “very excited” to see the finished episodes.
She told Rotten Tomatoes: “I’m very excited for season three. Unfortunately, Gia’s not returning for the third season, but I’m 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 apart of my legacy, and that I was apart of such a cultural phenomenon.
“I’m forever grateful, forever indebted, and I can’t wait to see what season three has in store.
“I’m very excited.”
The 21-year-old star’s revelation comes as she has admitted earlier this year to being “anxious” to get back to work on the show after filming for the new series was delayed.
She told E! News in April: “We’re on pause right now, but we’re anxious to get back.
“If it’s meant to be, we’ll be back soon and we’ll give the audience what they want and deserve.”
Following months of speculation the show was set to be cancelled following months of delays, HBO confirmed earlier this month that work on the programme – which also stars the likes of Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney – will resume next year.
A representative for HBO told The Independent: “‘Euphoria’ is going in to production in 2025. Nothing has changed.”
And days later, Zendaya played down reports of a feud with creator Sam Levinson.
Asked where she stands with ‘Euphoria’ and the show’s creator, she told Vanity Fair magazine: “[‘Euphoria’] is slated for January, I believe. I haven’t read anything yet, but I’m excited to see what everyone has been working on, and what the future looks like for ‘Euphoria’. I don’t really have much of an answer except for right now it’s set to start shooting in January.
“My most important thing is to do justice by the people who love and care about Rue, and make sure that she’s looked after as a character. I think that’s my number one duty.”
