“Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson focused much of the HBO series’ third season around Fezco, the character played by Angus Cloud, before the actor’s death from a fentanyl overdose in July 2023.

In an interview with the New York Times, Levinson spoke about a version of Season 3 that he wrote before the WGA strike began in May 2023. “Angus was the backbone of that season. I used to even talk to him about it because I wanted him to stay clean,” he said. “So I would invite him over and I’d tell him what the plans were for the character. I’d say, look, he’s been in prison for a few years, so you’ve got to get that yoked prison body. Because I wanted him to start working out and taking care of himself.”
