Prior to his death, Angus Cloud made waves in Hollywood following his breakout role as Fezco on the hit series Euphoria.
After the 2019 premiere of the HBO drama, Cloud went on to star in the movies North Hollywood and The Line and wrapped filming on several other projects. He also brought his acting chops to music videos for Juice WRLD, Becky G and Karol G.
Cloud died in July 2023 at age 25. Us Weekly confirmed in September that Cloud’s cause of death was acute intoxication following an accidental overdose.

‘Freaky Tales’
Cloud will appear in the upcoming drama starring Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Jack Champion, Jay Ellis, Dominique Thorne and Keir Gilchrist. Co-directed by Captain Marvel’s Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the movie will center around “four interconnected stories set in Oakland, California” and “will tell about the love of music, movies, people, places and memories beyond our knowable universe,” according to the film’s IMDb page.
‘Abigail’
The horror comedy stars Cloud, Kathryn Newton, Dan Stevens, Melissa Barrera, Kevin Durand, William Catlett and Giancarlo Esposito as a group of criminals who kidnap a young girl named Abigail (Alisha Weir) in order to collect a $50 million ransom. Upon discovering Abigail is actually a vampire, the group must work together to survive the night. The film, which hit theaters in April 2024, is helmed by Scream VI codirectors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.
‘Euphoria’
Though Euphoria season 3 was delayed until 2025 due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, Cloud was seemingly expected to return as Fezco for the series’ third installment. His character ended season 2 on a dire note, as Fezco’s adoptive younger brother, Ashtray (Javon Walton), was killed after he fought back against a SWAT team that infiltrated their house. Throughout the season, Fezco also developed a sweet romance with Maude Apatow’s Lexi Howard, though his brother’s death caused him to miss the premiere of her school play.
No details about how the series will handle Cloud’s death or Fezco’s fate have been revealed.
