- On Sunday, May 31, the 93-minute series finale of HBO's Euphoria aired, ending with protagonist Rue Bennett dying halfway through after taking a fentanyl-laced pill.

- The series officially ended after seven years; Zendaya praised the cast for watching her "grow up," while Sydney Sweeney, who played Cassie Howard, said she "broke down" reading the script.
- Levinson confirmed there are no plans for season 4, stating "this feels like the end to me" regarding the addiction narrative, ending the show's seven-year run.
