Barbie Ferreira Explains Her Euphoria Exit as Season 3 Premieres to Mixed Reviews

Ferreira cites a stalled role as reason for a pivot to indie films.

Overview

  • The actor said on Tuesday's Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast that she left after Season 2 because Kat's story had stalled.
  • She described the exit as not dramatic and denied rumors of a feud or walk-off with creator Sam Levinson.
  • Ferreira said Euphoria's roughly nine-month shoots were too long to justify limited screen time and few acting challenges.
  • She chose indie projects to stretch as an actor, naming Faces of Death, released April 10, and Mile End Kicks, opening April 17.
  • Season 3 premiered Sunday to mixed Rotten Tomatoes scores, renewing discussion of cast departures and the show's creative direction.
