    The hit HBO show Euphoria is losing a major cast member after two seasons of the show. Barbie Ferreira, who plays Kat Hernandez, is departing the critically-acclaimed series. In an Instagram story Ferreira let the world know that she will not be returning as Kat for Season 3:

    After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character Kat, I’m having to say a very teary eyed goodbye. I hope many of you could see yourself in her like iIdid and that she brought you joy to see her journey into the character she is today. I put all my care and love into her and I hope you guys could feel it. Love you Katherine Hernandez.

    While disappointing, the news is not too much of a shock for some fans. How Euphoria handled Kat’s storyline and character was often scrutinized during its second season. Ferreira has also been taking on other major projects, such as HBO Max’s Unpregnant and Jordan Peele’s latest film, NOPE.

    ‘Euphoria’ Star Javon Walton Joins ‘Umbrella Academy’ Season 3

    We have yet to get an official release date for the third season of Umbrella Academy, but things seem to be ramping up over a Netflix. So, we could be close. Over the past few weeks, Netflix has released a series of character posters featuring the Umbrella Academy and the mysterious Sparrow Academy. There’s still no date in sight, but it seems another star has joined the project in a mysterious role.

    Netflix took to Twitter today to confirm that Euphoria star Javon Walton has indeed joined season 3 of Umbrella Academy, although it is unknown just who he will be playing. He is best known for his role as Ashtray in the first two seasons of Euphoria. He played a drug dealer and was the adoptive brother of Fez. Walton first teased his casting during an interview with Complex in which he listed his upcoming projects only for Netflix to confirm it now.

    Just a last month Netflix revealed that Justin Cornwell, Britne Oldford, Jake Epstein, Genesis Rodriguez, and Cazzie David had all joined the cast as members of the Sparrow Academy. It’s possible that Walton could be playing the seventh member of the Academy, maybe even lending his voice to the mysterious cube. The cliffhanger ending of season two left fans on the edge of their seats with the reveal of a newly altered timeline due to their meddling. This season is sure to be highly anticipated and will definitely turn the series on its head.
