Levinson explained how Fez will be incorporated into season 3, teasing, "There’s a lot of scenes where people are talking to him on the phone. I thought if I couldn’t keep him alive in life, then maybe within this show that I can control I could keep him alive there." He added that the entire season was made as a tribute to Cloud, saying, "The whole thing was a way to honour him."
A Tribute to Angus Cloud
Sam Levinson ended his remarks by expressing excitement for fans to see the final episodes, noting, "I can't wait for you to see the last few episodes because I think he would be cracking up at his storyline. I think he would love it." This heartfelt approach aims to preserve Cloud's legacy within the Euphoria universe while addressing the practical challenges of his absence.
