Kat was one of the first plus-size characters in a teen drama that wasn’t the “sad, funny, fat friend”. Her character learned confidence and how to love her body, and how to be unapologetically herself. Throughout Euphoria season 1, Kat was an icon for viewers struggling with their body image, and anyone who is a plus-size person. Schafer wrote one specialty episode, and it is a fan favorite for performances and for a deeper look into Jules. Both Israeli creators, Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin are credited as writers and creators of Euphoria, but Levinson is the only one truly in the writers room, meaning he has all the creative say in the storyline. Based on an Israeli show of the same title, the Zendaya-starring HBO show is an American version of the same hard-hitting, teenage drama. A little known fact about the entire show is that it is a sort of remake. That could be why Ferreira is not returning, due to her character being cut and her differences not being respected.Īlong with differences in personalities or character performances, there is also the suggestion of the writing for Euphoria. There is no confirmed report on what happened to make Ferreira walk off set, and why Levinson seemed to take the aftermath out on her character, but differences were shared between the show runner and the actress, resulting in a drastic cutting of her character. After that, the character of Kat was wildly reduced, and most of her lines from season 2 were cut, per BuzzFeed News, leaving plotlines and resulting in Kat proposing a weird ending to her relationship with her boyfriend Ethan, played by Austin Abrams ( The Walking Dead, Paper Towns). In one instance, there were reports that, early on, Ferreira walked off set one day after an argument. From her being one of the leads in season 1 to having hardly any lines in season 2, Ferreira was said to have had creative differences with Levinson over character's arc. During the shooting of season 2, there were rumors that Levinson and Ferreira were not getting along, a timeline for which was outlined by Decider. For Euphoria, Levinson writes, directs, and produces every episode, and most of the time, it is just him in the writers room and the director's chair. He also is famously known for how in-control of the HBO series he is. Director Sam Levinson is known for his similar Euphoria-style feature Assassination Nation and drama Malcolm & Marie starring Zendaya and John David Washington.
