Storm Reid, who portrayed Gia Bennett, Zendaya’s younger sister on Euphoria, confirmed that she will not be returning for the show’s highly anticipated third season. Speaking to TMZ, Reid expressed that she would miss the cast and crew but is also looking forward to what the future holds for her. She shared that working with the team was an “amazing” experience, and she’ll forever be grateful for it. However, she is excited to watch the new season as a fan and see how the story unfolds.
Reid’s character, Gia, was a moral support for her older sister, Rue, who struggled with substance abuse. With Gia now graduating from USC and ready to step out into the world, Reid admitted that her character’s storyline might not align with Rue’s in the upcoming season. Another factor contributing to Reid’s absence from Euphoria Season 3 is her packed schedule, with multiple projects that conflict with the filming schedule.
Despite not being part of the upcoming season, Reid is still excited for what’s to come. She believes the fans will be eager to see what happens next in the long-awaited third season. “Euphoria is always going to be a cultural phenomenon whether you like it or not,” she remarked, acknowledging the show’s lasting impact on its audience.
