WARNING: This post contains spoilers from the Euphoria season three finale!<\/p>\n
Euphoria<\/a> season three has come to an end after the eighth episode of the season debuted on HBO Max. <\/p>\n The hit drama series has been rumored to be ending after this season, though that has not been confirmed. <\/p>\n Earlier in the season, one of the show\u2019s main characters, Jacob Elordi\u2018s Nate Jacobs died after being bitten by a rattlesnake<\/a> while being buried in a box underground with just a breathing hole, and the finale episode brought another main character death.<\/p>\n Warning: spoilers ahead!!!<\/p>\n Halfway through the finale episode, after learning of Zendaya\u2018s Rue working with the DEA, which was spilled by her friend Maddy in the previous episode, Alamo was prompted to kill her. <\/p>\n Rue\u2019s boss, played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, gave her pain killers that were laced with fentanyl and she overdosed. <\/p>\n Ali (Colman Domingo), Rue\u2019s sponsor, found her dead on his couch and he went on a mission to seek revenge on Alamo for taking her life. <\/p>\n Rue being killed off in the third season of Euphoria has long been rumored, and may not come as a surprise to most. <\/p>\n During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show<\/a> earlier this year, Zendaya was asked if this would be the show\u2019s final season. <\/p>\n \u201cI think so, yeah,\u201d she responded, adding that \u201cclosure is coming.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cEuphoria\u00a0cracked my heart open,\u201d\u00a0Zendaya\u00a0continued. \u201cRue [her character] taught me so much about life \u2026 that crew has also seen me grow up. I owe so much to that show. Rue taught me so much about empathy and about redemption. She taught me a lot, and I\u2019m very grateful for all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n Posted To:Euphoria<\/a> HBO<\/a> Television<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: HBO WARNING: This post contains spoilers from the Euphoria season three finale!
