Former *Euphoria* cast member Barbie Ferreira has addressed the popular show moving on without her ahead of season 3.

Following her exit from HBO's Zendaya-starring drama series after season 2, the actress responded to a recent interview question about how much she keeps up with her ex-colleagues.

"Are you the same with *Euphoria*, where you see the trailers and you go, 'Oh, that's good that they're having fun on set, but I will catch up with them outside of the set anyway,' now that you've left the show?" *The Morning Mashup* radio show host Ben Harlum asked Ferreira in a new interview.

"Yeah, totally. People always ask me questions about season 3. I'm like, 'I don't know.' I don't even think the girls know," the star, who played Kat on seasons 1 and 2, replied.

Ferreira said she asks her former castmates questions about new episodes, including if social media star Trisha Paytas is joining season 3 alongside returning actors Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi, Colman Domingo, and the late Eric Dane, among others.

"I was like, 'Is Trisha Paytas in *Euphoria*?' And they're like, 'I don't know.' And I'm like, 'You're in it. How did you not know?'" Ferreira continued. "So, I haven't seen anything until the trailers this week. They look amazing. I'm excited to see what the girls are gonna do."**

Ferreira previously addressed her exit from the show in an interview on Dax Shepard's *Armchair Expert* podcast, in which she disputed a rumor that she walked off set following a dispute with creator Sam Levinson.

"When people ask me about season 2, they come at me like I was some sort of victim to season 2, and I'm always like, 'No, it's okay, promise. It's good,'" Ferreira said at the time. "I kind of got sucked into this drama that I never asked to be in and that I've never talked about. I'm of the mindset that if it doesn't exist, I'm not going to address it because then I'm adding fuel to it."

Another longtime *Euphoria* artist, recording artist Labrinth, also recently posted about not returning for season 3.

The British artist slammed his record label, Columbia, and *Euphoria* in a since-deleted social media post earlier in March, writing, "IM DONE WITH THIS INDUSTRY. F--- COLUMBIA," the 37-year-old composer of *Euphoria*'s signature score wrote.

The Grammy nominee continued, "DOUBLE F--- *EUPHORIA*. IM OUT. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT X." (HBO representatives did not respond to **'s request for comment at the time.)

*Euphoria* season 3 premieres April 12 on HBO. Watch Ferreira speak about her exit in the video above.
