Following Angus Cloud’s death in August 2023, it’s likely his character, Fezco, will be written out of the show. Elordi’s character Nate called the police on his own father Cal Jacobs (played by Eric Dane) in the season 2 finale, and while we may see more of him, we’re not sure how much just yet.

Dane previously told Variety: “There’s gonna be redemption. That’s the trajectory he’s on. I can’t imagine Cal’s life from solitary confinement. It’s tough to work Cal into the storyline when he’s behind bars.”

Sadly, Barbie Ferreira will not be returning as Kat. The star posted an emotional Instagram Story confirming that she won’t be returning for the third season. “After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character Kat, I’m having to say a very teary-eyed goodbye,” her story read.

She opened up further on a podcast interview episode of Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard, confirming it was a “mutual decision” for her to leave the show because her character’s story had ran its course.

“I don’t think there was a place for her to go,” she added of her character Kat. “I think there were places she could have gone. I just don’t think it would have fit into the show. I don’t know if it was going to do her justice, and I think both parties knew that I really wanted to be able to not be the fat best friend. I don’t want to play that, and I think they didn’t want that either.”

“I just felt like, maybe it’s like I overstayed my welcome a little bit?” she said. “So, for me, I actually felt good to be like, ‘OK, I get to not worry about this and we both don’t get too worried about this,’ because it’s exhausting.”
