She also said: “My greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people. I just want to thank everyone who shared their story with me. Anyone who has loved a Rue, or feels like the are a Rue, I am so gratefuly for your stories, and I carry them with me, and I carry them with her.”

Production for Euphoria season three starts in 2023, with the series airing the following year.
