Euphoria Season 3: Are Rue And Nate Going To Die This Season?

Euphoria Season 3 is finally here, and it has wasted zero time reminding us why this show lives rent-free in our heads. After a five-year time jump, Rue Bennett and Nate Jacobs are no longer teenagers playing with fire. They are full-grown adults playing with something far more dangerous. Rue is flirting with death from the end of the very first episode, while Nate has been completely consumed by debt, violence, and karma closing in fast. With the finale on May 31, the internet is in full meltdown mode. So, are they actually dying this season? Let us get into it. 

Rue Bennett Is One Bad Move Away From Not Making It Out Alive

Zendaya's Rue has survived addiction, heartbreak, and more rock bottoms than we can count, but Season 3 is putting her in genuinely terrifying territory. Rue isn't entirely clean and still has to deal with her old dealer Laurie, who employs her as a drug mule to repay a debt that has somehow ballooned from $10,000 to $43 million. That alone would be enough chaos, but Sam Levinson does not believe in keeping things simple. Things get even worse for Rue in Episode 4, when the DEA busts her for drug possession and forces her to become an informant. Being squeezed from both sides by a dangerous dealer and federal agents is, to put it lightly, not a great position to be in.

Episode 5's cliffhanger, which aired on May 11, left a main character possibly Rue Bennett facing peril in a ditch, sparking intense fan speculation. Prediction markets currently place her odds of dying this season at 38%, which sounds low until you remember that Euphoria once killed off Ashtray without blinking. Rue is not only Euphoria's main character but also the show's narrator and emotional glue, and a Zendaya-less final stretch may be too much for the series to handle. That said, this show has never made choices based on what is safe. If Rue does not survive, it would be one of the boldest endings in HBO history. 

Nate Jacobs Has Made Too Many Enemies To Walk Away Clean

If Rue's death would feel tragic, Nate's would feel like the universe finally correcting itself. Nate Jacobs remains one of Euphoria's most controversial characters, and fans have long been wanting to see him face the consequences of his violent and abusive actions. Season 3 wastes no time serving up exactly that. Since taking over his father Cal's business, Nate has blown through most of his investors' funds and is essentially broke, owing a dangerous loan shark named Naz over $500,000. 

When Nate does not pay back the money in time, Naz crashes Nate and Cassie's wedding in Episode 3. Nate is badly beaten, thrown against the railing of his staircase, dragged across the floor, and Naz even cuts off his right pinky toe as a warning. It is as gory and chaotic as it sounds. Some fans speculated he had already died after the brutal attack, but the official trailer for Episode 4 confirmed that Nate survived and lived to fight another day. For now. Prediction market traders currently place Nate's odds of dying in Season 3 at a staggering 78%, making him the clear frontrunner to not make it to the credits of the finale. With three episodes still to go and Naz still unpaid, karma is not done with Nate Jacobs just yet.
