Warning: Spoilers Ahead! If you haven’t seen “Euphoria” Season 3, Episode 8, proceed with caution.
Zendaya is bidding farewell to Rue Bennett, the character she brought to life in “Euphoria.”
In a heartfelt behind-the-scenes segment aired on Sunday, the “Dune” star expressed her gratitude, saying, “I just want to say, thank you.”
She continued, “I’m incredibly thankful for every single one of you. Many have been with me from the start and watched me grow up.”
Zendaya concluded with, “It’s been both a pleasure and an honor. Thank you so much.”
Rue — who struggled with drug addiction throughout the HBO Max series — died in Sunday’s season finale from an accidental overdose after taking painkillers that were intentionally laced with fentanyl by the drug lord Alamo Brown (portrayed by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje).
Rue’s body was found by her mentor, Ali Muhammed, played by Colman Domingo.
Ali later sought revenge for Rue and traveled to Alamo’s strip club and fatally shot the drug lord after a standoff.
Rue wasn’t the only major character who was killed off in the third and final season.
In last week’s episode, Nate Jacobs (played by Jacob Elordi) met his fate. The controversial character was buried alive in a coffin, with a pipe leading to the surface so that he could breathe.
However, a rattlesnake slithered down the pipe and bit him.
In a post-show HBO segment, the “Frankenstein” star, 28, said it was “cool to see it all come to what it’s come to.”
Elordi noted that his character “was someone who has made so many mistakes and made so many dark choices.”
Season 3 of “Euphoria” is available to stream on HBO Max.
