Barbie Ferreira says 'a lot' of reports about Euphoria set drama are 'untrue': 'The fans are really passionate… Sometimes, things take on a life of their own, and they’re not rooted in the truth, but it’s OK because I know it’s just out of passion.”
“What’s interesting about this season is there are so many more eyes on it that even the news cycle has been so interesting to see,” Ferreira said following the show’s Season 2 finale. “I’ve seen so many different things and a lot of it is untrue, and some of it’s kind of like mundane little things.”
“I really think that the fans are really passionate and I do appreciate that because ‘Euphoria’ has really impacted so many people,” Ferreira added. “Sometimes, things take on a life of their own, and they’re not rooted in the truth, but it’s okay because I know it’s just out of passion and out of curiosity and all that good stuff. And I signed up for it. So, I’ll take it. I’ll take the good and the bad.
Ferreira’s co-star Jacob Elordi also defended the series’ long filming hours. “We’re making movies, you know what I mean?” he“I mean that in the broad sense, like this is filmmaking. And whilst you shouldn’t suffer, to me there’s great value in working hard…For me, working long hours is like the greatest joy. And they take care of us. That’s my family. If I’m working long hours, Sam’s working twice as long, Zendaya’s working three times as long. We’re all in it together.
“Euphoria” became HBO’s second most-watched original series in its second season, trailing only the fantasy blockbuster “Game of Thrones.” The series will return for a third season at a later date. Ferreira told Insider she hopes new episodes further explore Kat’s “internal fantasy life.” “I hope to see her relationship with herself, the internet, with her friends,” Ferreira said. “I hope to see everything beautifully devolve as it always does on ‘Euphoria.’ I’m excited to read it. I don’t think it’s written yet, so I’ll be waiting.”
