Euphoria fans think they’ve cracked a big finale twist involving Maddy Perez.
It all comes down to a subtle clue hidden in another HBO universe project created by Sam Levinson.
As the third season of the hit drama races toward its finale this weekend, speculation is reaching fever pitch over who will survive the fallout of Nate Jacobs’ shocking story.
The character, played by Jacob Elordi, was brutally killed in episode seven in a scene that saw him buried alive and attacked by a rattlesnake, leaving viewers braced for more major casualties.
But amid the chaos, fans are increasingly convinced that Maddy, played by Alexa Demie, is not among those destined for tragedy.
Their theory centers on a surprising crossover clue: Maddy’s appearance in Levinson’s 2023 series The idol.
Because the show exists within the same television universe as Euphoriaviewers claim that her cameo strongly suggests that she survives the events of season three.
Social media has been awash with theories, with fans pointing to the timeline connection as “proof” that she will make it out alive.
One viewer wrote that Maddy’s performance in The idol which is set years after this show indicates that she must survive, while another joked that her fate is already “spoiled” by the crossover.
This season opened with Nate’s downfall, including his marriage to Cassie Howard (Sydney Sweeney) amid mounting debt and dangerous criminal entanglements.
His attempts to save his father’s legacy through dodgy business deals quickly unravel, drawing him deeper into violence and betrayal.
Meanwhile, Maddy finds herself drawn into the chaos after stepping in to help secure a loan from criminal financier Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje).
The season finale of Euphoria airs on HBO Max on May 31.
