Barbie Ferreira’s Character Kat Won’t Be Returning to ‘Euphoria’ Season 3

Barbie Ferreira, who played Kat in the buzzy HBO series, is leaving Euphoria ahead of the show’s third season.

The actor took to Instagram Stories to break the news to her fans. “After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character Kat, I’m having to say a very teary-eyed goodbye.” She continued:

“I hope many of you could see yourself in her like I did and that she brought you joy to see her journey into the character she is today. I put all my care and love into her and I hope you guys could feel it. Love you Katherine Hernandez.”

HBO has yet to comment on the news as of writing. Kat, who has been on the show since its first season, received less screen time in the second installment, leaving fans wondering if there was drama between Ferreira and Sam Levinson. The star later dismissed those claims, stating: “What’s interesting about this season is there are so many more eyes on it that even the news cycle has been so interesting to see. I’ve seen so many different things and a lot of it is untrue and some of it’s kind of like mundane little things.”

Stay tuned as we learn more about Ferreira’s departure.
