It is never easy for fans to unexpectedly say goodbye to their favorite characters — and 2025 has featured an influx of shocking departures from our TV screens.
Euphoria went through several cast changes after a lengthy delay between season 2 and 3. In addition to Angus Cloud‘s 2023 death, Storm Reid exited the show in 2024 after playing Gia, and Nika King was also not brought back for more episodes.
“Season 3 is coming out. I don’t f—ing know. Don’t ask me. I don’t know. It’s one of those things,” King quipped during a stand-up show in March 2024. “People are like, ‘We need season 3.’ I’m like, ‘Bitch, I need season 3. I haven’t paid my rent in six months.’ And Zendaya’s over in Paris at Fashion Week, I’m like, ‘Bitch, come home! I need you! Mama need you!’”
She continued: “You’re laughing and I’m serious. I haven’t booked anything since Euphoria, this is some bulls—. I thought my career was on the rise. After Euphoria I thought I was good. It don’t work that way. I called [Taraji P. Henson], she was like, ‘Bitch, get used to it.’”
Meanwhile in the reality TV world, Rebecca Minkoff announced in February that her time on The Real Housewives of New York City has come to an end.
“I am truly grateful for the experience, the friendships and the fans that have been part of this RHONY chapter,” the fashion designer wrote via Instagram. “Time to turn the page.”
