Fez’s Fate Revealed
The season addresses the absence of Angus Cloud’s character, Fez, following the actor’s death in 2023. Cloud, 25, died from an accidental drug overdose. In Episode 1, Rue (Zendaya) and Lexi (Maude Apatow) discuss Fez, revealing he is serving a 30-year prison sentence. Creator Sam Levinson confirmed Fez will appear in later episodes through phone conversations and other references.
Cast and Production Updates
The season features returning stars Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, and Sydney Sweeney, alongside new additions like Marshawn Lynch and Sharon Stone. Eric Dane, who played Cal Jacobs, passed away in February 2026, with some of his final scenes included in the season. Lynch, a former NFL player, joined the cast partly due to his connection with Cloud, who encouraged Bay Area rapper C5 to write a song in his honor.
