Storm Reid Confirms Bittersweet Exit from Euphoria

Storm Reid has confirmed her departure from HBO's 'Euphoria' after portraying Gia Bennett for the first two seasons, describing the experience as 'bittersweet.' She expressed her love for the character and excitement for the upcoming third season, indicating that it will be something special. Reid emphasized her close bond with co-star Zendaya, saying, 'That’s my sister before Euphoria and after,' and expressed hopes for future collaborations. As she prepares to graduate from USC and work on Teyana Taylor's directorial debut 'Get Lite,' Reid acknowledges that her busy schedule may have contributed to her exit from the series. While she will miss playing Gia, she remains supportive of the show's trajectory as production for season three begins. Reid's departure follows an announcement made in November 2024 regarding significant cast changes for the new season.
