The third season of Sam Levinson's HBO drama, Euphoria, began with a dedicated tribute to late actor Eric Dane, actor Angus Cloud, and producer Kevin Turen. The show's creator, Levinson, explained that he adjusted his writing in real time to factor in Dane's health and that he fought to keep him clean when he was alive. While the show's character, Fez, is mentioned in a scene where Rue visits her ex-high school friend Lexi, still misses Lexi.
