After seven years, Euphoria is finally over. Here are all the cast members who’ve shared tributes and reactions to the final episode after that tragic ending.

Zendaya said goodbye to the cast and crew that made it possible

In a behind-the-scenes clip shared by HBO, Zendaya raised a toast to the cast and crew and thanked them for all their support.

“I just wanted to say thank you, I’m incredibly grateful for every single one of you,” she said. “Many of you have been here from the beginning and watched me grow up. It’s been such a pleasure and an honour. Thank you so much!”

Martha Kelly was just as tearful as the rest of us

Despite her deadpan, ruthless portrayal of Laurie in the series, Martha Kelly was teary-eyed in a TikTok she shared about the Euphoria finale.

“Very wrecked by the episode, the scene where Lexi is talking about Rue… it makes me start to get emotional just talking about it. After Rue dies, when Lexi’s talking about how she had felt guilty about not being able to save her,” she said.

“Also the scene with Zendaya and Angus in her hallucination that she’s having right before she dies. I’m gonna cut this short because I don’t think there’s anything wrong with crying, but I don’t like to do it on camera.”

Storm Reid and Nika King posted heartfelt tributes on Instagram

The actresses playing Rue’s family members, sister Gia (Storm Reid) and mum Leslie (Nika King), shared posts on Instagram after the finale. Storm shared an edit of Rue and Gia to the song The Visitor by Sienna Spiro.

Nika shared a picture of Rue, captioning it: “The hardest part is saying goodbye. The beautiful part is knowing my baby doesn’t have to hurt anymore. Heaven gained a beautiful soul, and one day, by The Most High’s grace, we’ll see each other again. I love you, Ruby Bennett.”
