As the highly-anticipated Season 3 of Euphoria hits HBO screens tomorrow, one original cast member is notably absent from the buzz surrounding the show. Barbie Ferreira, who portrayed Kat Hernandez in the first two seasons, shared with Parade that the cast’s old group chat didn’t survive the four-year gap between seasons. Ferreira admitted that she is out of the loop when it comes to any pre-premiere texting amongst the cast.
Despite being disconnected from the group chat, Ferreira maintains strong relationships with her former castmates. In a recent appearance on The Viall Files, she revealed that she still keeps in touch with Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, and Sydney Sweeney, who all showed their support during her Broadway run in Cult of Love. The bond between the cast remains vibrant, even if their communication methods have shifted.
Ferreira has been candid about her decision to exit the show, explaining on Collider Ladies Night that she felt her character, Kat, wasn’t the same in Season 2. She expressed a desire to explore different opportunities and emphasized that the size of the show didn’t deter her from pursuing other projects. Despite not having seen any footage from Season 3 until the trailers dropped, Ferreira expressed excitement to see what her former castmates will bring to the table.
While she may not be part of the Euphoria Season 3 cast, Ferreira has been keeping busy with her own projects. Her horror film Faces of Death, featuring Charli XCX and Dacre Montgomery, recently premiered in theaters to critical acclaim. Additionally, her indie rom-com Mile End Kicks, which she also executive produced, is set to release on April 17. Beyond her acting ventures, Ferreira collaborated on a limited-edition capsule collection with lifestyle brand For Your Soul, highlighting a red tracksuit as her favorite piece.
Throughout the whirlwind of Euphoria Season 3’s upcoming release and her own diverse projects, Ferreira remains grounded in her explorations of new opportunities. As she navigates her post-Euphoria journey with grace and determination, it’s evident that her creative spirit continues to drive her forward.
