Euphoria shocked viewers by killing off Zendaya‘s beloved character Rue — but how did she die?

On the Sunday, May 31, episode of the show, Rue escaped Laurie’s house and took what she stole from the safe back to Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). The drug lord offered Alamo some pain pills after seeing how injured she was — and Rue considered taking them.

The show then followed Rue to urgent care where she got treated for her wounds. She returned back to Ali’s (Colman Domingo) house and seemed to consider taking the pills before going to sleep.

Euphoria then showed a sequence where Rue woke up to find out that Fez (Angus Cloud) escaped prison with his parkour skills. She ran to reunite with him, stopped at her house to share a sweet moment with her mother and then the show confirmed it was all a dream.

The Euphoria cast and crew have mourned the deaths of some of their colleagues over the years. Euphoria, which premiered in 2019, originally followed troubled high school student Rue (Zendaya) as she struggled to remain sober after rehab. The hit HBO series was quickly renewed for a second season after its premiere, but it took […]

Instead, Rue had died from an overdose on Ali’s couch. He discovered the pills, which he tested and found they were positive for fentanyl. This confirmed that Alamo intentionally gave Rue drugs that he knew she would relapse on — and that he planned to have kill her after he previously discovered she was working with the DEA to bring him down.

“The honest ending is that people like Rue don’t make it,” creator Sam Levinson said in a post-finale segment. “People relapse and they f*** up. They’re not ready to get clean. And they weren’t dying like they are now with the influx of fentanyl into this country.”

Levinson recalled his own struggles with addiction.

“I could say with absolute certainty that if I was going through what I went through when I was younger now then I wouldn’t be here either,” he added before referencing Cloud’s death from an accidental overdose. “There’s no reason to sugarcoat it. I wanted to tell the story for Angus and for people who weren’t granted a second chance.”

Levinson called the finale “an honest ending.” He previously mentioned his plan to dedicate the season to Cloud, who died at age 25 before filming on the final episodes started.

“Some people ask why it took so long between seasons 2 and 3. There were obvious factors — the strikes, trying to make a schedule work with our very in-demand cast, but the real time was in trying to figure out how to find a way to pay respect to those who we lost,” Levinson said at the April premiere event for season 3.

He added: “When Angus died, it was tough. I loved him deeply, and I fought hard to keep him clean. The year he died, in 2023, he was one of 73,000 people in America who died of a fentanyl overdose. I learned a whole lot that year, but what I realized more than anything is that death is what gives life meaning. You can’t be arrogant about existence. You’re forced to reckon with the fact that life itself is a wonder, a gift, a profound blessing.”

Before his death, Cloud was candid about his struggles with mental health and addiction. Levinson recalled making several attempts to help the actor during his journey to stay sober.

“I looked him in the eye and I knew that he wasn’t doing well,” Levinson told People in September 2023 about helping Angus enter a 30-day in-patient program. “At the same time, I’ve been in these situations before where you’re trying to get someone clean. And I just said to him, ‘I love working with you and we’ve got this amazing season planned and stuff, but I need you to be sober because I got to be able to rely on you.’”

Levinson was determined to support Cloud, noting, “I could always feel that he didn’t want [sobriety] as much as we all wanted it for him. That’s where it gets tricky because the whole world can want it for you. But he didn’t want it. It’s just the self-destructive side of addiction and it outweighs everything. But you can’t give up on people. I wasn’t going to let anyone give up on him.”

Euphoria is currently streaming on HBO Max.

It’s hard to pinpoint, but there is something about a murder mystery that seems to prick our interest while warming our hearts. Perhaps the trick lies in the opportunity the story affords us to play detective as we put the puzzle together, or the thrill of finally solving the case. No matter, one thing is certain, and that is, the murder mystery is one of the most beloved genres today. ABC’s How to Get Away with Murder is a particular favorite of many, with the esteemed Viola Davis bringing the character of Criminal Law professor Annalise Keating to life.

Streaming services have also gotten in on the action with Netflix‘s The Thursday Murder Club, a cozy murder mystery for the oldies, and Hulu’s hit series, Only Murders in the Building, which stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Some of the best murder mysteries brought to the screen are products of book adaptations, and one of the most popular ones is currently on Netflix. A television series that brings Holly Jackson‘s popular book trilogy to life, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder reminds us all of what draws us to this genre in the first place. Season 1 of the six-episode thriller series premiered in July 2024 and stars Emma Myers in the lead role as Pip Fitz-Amobi.

Season 1 saw Pip, a teenage girl, at the center of her own murder investigation. Five years ago, Andie Bell (India Lillie Davies) was murdered, and the death had plagued both Pip and her town. Andie’s boyfriend Sal Singh (Rahul Pattni) confessed to it, and while everyone thought that was the end, Pip’s investigation proved otherwise. The first season added its own plotlines, and that left diehard book fans with a decision to make. Season 2, which adapts the second installment of Jackson’s trilogy, Good Girl, Bad Blood, has just been released on Netflix, and its glowing reviews make it the perfect weekend binge. The new season debuted with a fresh Rotten Tomatoes score of 83%. Collider’s Jasneet Singh, in her review, rated Season 2 an 8/10, noting a notable improvement on Season 1 and a more faithful adaptation to its source material, which will delight fans.

What Is ‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’ Season 2 About?

Season 2 sees Pip face the fallout of her investigation into the murder of Andie. Becca (Carla Woodcock) is in prison, and Max (Henry Ashton) is on trial for drugging and assaulting several women. Also, Pip’s friendship with Cara (Asha Banks) is also tense after her investigation exposed Cara’s father’s secrets, which led to his imprisonment. Pip declares that she will never investigate a case again and hopes for a normal life with her boyfriend Ravi (Zain Iqbal), as she anticipates a decisive court victory over Max.

However, Pip’s plans fall apart when her friend Connor (Jude Morgan-Collie) approaches her after his brother Jamie (Eden H. Davies) disappears. Heightening the stakes, Jamie is a key witness in Max’s trial and is also linked to another anonymous witness dubbed “Woman A,” which means for Pip to ensure justice is served, she must investigate once more.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

Rumer Willis’ bitter custody fight with ex Derek Richard Thomas has already exposed painful details about their fractured relationship, but the situation escalated even further once Demi Moore stepped into the legal battle herself. 

The actress shocked many after filing court documents supporting her daughter and describing troubling incidents surrounding the birth of little Louetta. 

Now, insiders are revealing how deeply Moore has become invested in protecting both her daughter and granddaughter as the family’s emotional court war continues unfolding behind the scenes.

Rumer Willis and Derek Richard Thomas have been locked in a contentious custody dispute over their three-year-old daughter, Louetta, for nearly a year. 

While the legal fight had already become heated, Moore’s recent court filing has intensified public attention after she accused Thomas of displaying “aggressive” behavior during Louetta’s home birth.

According to an insider who spoke with the Daily Mail, Moore has become increasingly uncomfortable around Thomas and has no desire to build any relationship with him moving forward. 

The source explained that the 63-year-old’s primary concern remains supporting her daughter and granddaughter while keeping family matters as stable as possible.

“Demi is comfortable with people knowing how she feels about Derek, because she is uncomfortable with him and the less he is around, the better,” the insider said.

The source added that Moore wants everything centered around family rather than ongoing conflict. “Her main focus has always been supporting her daughter Rumer and her granddaughter Louetta, and she stands firmly by them,” the insider shared.

Rumer’s family Bond Stands In Contrast To Derek Thomas Drama

The insider also pointed to the close relationship Moore still shares with ex-husband Bruce Willis despite their divorce over two decades ago. 

Moore and Bruce have remained united while navigating the actor’s devastating dementia diagnosis alongside his wife Emma Heming and their blended family.

The source suggested that the “Margin Call” actress’s successful co-parenting experience with Bruce has heavily influenced how she views Thomas.

“It’s clear that Demi knows when a relationship works or not being with Bruce,” the source said before adding, “But to compare Bruce and Derek is like comparing a million dollars to a clogged toilet.”

Another insider explained that Rumer Willis remains extremely close with her mother and relies heavily on her family for support while raising Louetta. 

Moore reportedly helps care for the child whenever possible, while sisters Scout and Tallulah also remain actively involved.

“Demi helps with the baby whenever she can,” the source said. “Her family is very close and her sisters are also helpful.”

The insider added that Rumer’s life has become completely centered around her daughter as she attempts to navigate the complicated legal situation.

Rumer Willis Alleged Thomas Created Stress During Pregnancy And Birth

Court filings submitted by Moore painted a disturbing picture of the former couple’s relationship before and after Louetta’s birth. 

The actress claimed she witnessed her daughter in “a constant state of stress” throughout the pregnancy and alleged that Thomas frequently prioritized himself over Rumer.

Moore described one alarming moment during the home birth, claiming the musician suddenly entered the birthing tub without warning while Rumer was in labor.

“Everyone was shocked,” Moore alleged in the filing, adding that Rumer immediately told him to leave the tub.

According to the producer, Thomas then spent the remainder of the labor “acting angry and pouting, and making it all about him.” 

She further alleged that he later became upset when Moore and Scout returned to help clean the home after the birth.

According to her, Thomas angrily complained about their presence and pressured Rumer to distance herself from family support. 

More also alleged that her grandchild’s father demanded “skin to skin contact” with Louetta immediately after birth while the baby was cold and needed to be bundled.

The actress further claimed Thomas attempted to isolate Rumer from her support system and made little effort to contribute financially or physically to parenting responsibilities.

Rumer Claimed She Felt Afraid During Relationship

Rumer Willis’ own court filings contained additional allegations about the relationship’s breakdown. She accused her ex-boyfriend of engaging in “incessant domestic violence in the form of coercive control,” claims he has denied.

The 37-year-old alleged she became fearful shortly after Louetta’s birth as Thomas’ behavior allegedly became increasingly “erratic and bizarre.”

“I was in a fragile postpartum state, and he was causing me a lot of stress,” Rumer wrote. “I also became afraid for myself and our baby, so I was constantly trying to keep the peace and walk on eggshells.”

She further accused Thomas of attempting to isolate her from loved ones while repeatedly criticizing her. According to the mom of one, Thomas became paranoid and believed she and Moore were trying to take Louetta away from him.

The actress additionally claimed the singer refused to contribute financially toward their daughter’s expenses despite expecting her and her “wealthy family” to handle everything. 

Court documents stated Rumer earns income through her production company and rental property while paying between $15,000 and $21,000 monthly for childcare, groceries, and other expenses.

Rumer Willis’ Ex Strongly Denies All Abuse Allegations

Thomas has firmly denied all accusations made against him in court documents filed earlier this year. He acknowledged that the relationship with Rumer was unhealthy but insisted there was never any abuse or coercive control involved.

“I have committed no acts of domestic violence in any form, including any active ‘coercive control,’” Thomas stated in his filing.

He also disputed claims regarding neglect or mistreatment of Louetta and insisted their daughter had “never been injured in any way” while in his care. 

He claimed he only used marijuana legally and denied it ever interfered with his parenting responsibilities. Through attorney Michael J. Kretzmer, Thomas also criticized Rumer for attempting to litigate the case publicly rather than strictly through the courts.

“Mr. Thomas intends to try this matter in Court and not in the press,” the lawyer told the Daily Mail. The attorney added that Thomas is “a caring devoted and loving father to Louetta” and claimed Rumer has attempted to obstruct his relationship with their daughter “without justification of any kind whatsoever.”

Despite the escalating accusations on both sides, insiders say Moore remains focused on one thing above all else, which is “the priority is Louetta’s wellbeing and making sure she’s protected and surrounded by stability.”

Anime has become one of the most popular media in the world thanks to its creativity and animation. Shows like One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen continue to innovate and attract new viewers. While there is a deeper layer to anime, the first thing people see is the art and animation, making it crucial for the series to be visually stunning.

Film and TV have two different budgets, but while one focuses all its time, effort, and money into around an hour, the other spreads it out over at least 12 episodes. Despite it being harder for anime to be as attractive as movies, they still deliver their unique appeal with every episode. This list will rank the ten most visually stunning anime series based on animation, style, use of color, art style, imagery, aesthetic, and other striking techniques.

The Tatami Galaxy is relentless in its pace and acclaimed in its daring style.

10

‘March Comes in Like a Lion’ (2016–2018)

This popular phrase usually describes the weather for the month, but March Comes in Like a Lion is also the title of a popular and profound anime drama. Introverted by nature, Rei is a pro shogi player who rarely finds time to take care of himself or get out of the house. However, when a new family moves next to him, they show him the kindness he needs to improve himself.

Even with the dullest of stories, anime can suck viewers in with its captivating world, and while Made in Abyss does that, it also has a phenomenal story to boot. Known for its worldbuilding, music, villains, and dark content, this anime follows two young explorers who dive into the titular abyss to discover its secrets and learn some personal questions.

Most anime are visually stunning because of their animation or unique style, but Made in Abyss offers fans a world ripe with stellar backgrounds and mystical settings. While it can be a bit horrific at times, as an anime with wholesome art but disturbing content, the visual appeal is still there and doesn’t get tiresome, no matter how many times fans rewatch it.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most well-known anime of all time. Its influence and legacy have impacted the anime community in many ways that fans can still feel today. Shinji is a mild-mannered boy who must pilot a mech to fight against angel-like aliens. However, he must first battle his own inner demons if he wants to do what’s right for the world.

Many fans consider Neon Genesis Evangelion a masterpiece, and for good reason. However, one of the many excellent aspects of this anime is its animation and style, highlighted by the classic ’90s hand-drawn style with a bit of sci-fi and urban flair. The iconic animation and visual style do a lot to separate Neon Genesis Evangelion from any other 1990s anime, cementing it as a staple anime.

7

‘Space Dandy’ (2014)

Most fans know Shinichirō Watanabe for Cowboy Bebop and may be watching his new series, Lazarus. However, his most stunning work is undoubtedly Space Dandy, which follows the titular protagonist on multiple sci-fi misadventures. Dandy and his robot and cat alien friends travel the cosmos looking for unregistered aliens to make a living, but spend most of their time messing about and running from the Gogol Empire.

Space Dandy may not have fluid motion and great fight scenes like all of Watanabe’s other projects, but the wondrous and imaginative cosmos and planets bring new life to his style. The gorgeous colors and absorbing backgrounds will have viewers in awe, delivering standout visuals and settings. Space Dandy has one of the most visually stunning anime worlds, and it is on the list because of it.

6

The animation itself is also spectacular, with great fluidity and spectacle to keep viewers invested. Kill la Kill is one of the best original anime series.

As one 97%‑rated series ends, Apple TV is enjoying the success of another. The new show couldn’t be more different from the first, even though both have identical scores on the aggregator website and are fundamentally comedies. The first of these two new shows is Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and together with the second, they’re proving that Apple’s slate of excellent content isn’t limited to the sci-fi genre. Over the years, Apple has become somewhat synonymous with shows such as Severance, Foundation, Silo, and more recently, Pluribus. The streak continued on May 29 with Star City, a companion piece to the streamer’s first-ever sci-fi series, For All Mankind.

But Apple is just as well known for shows such as Ted Lasso and Platonic. With Margo’s Got Money Troubles, the platform’s library continues to expand in exciting ways. Which brings us to the horror comedy that has gradually become a word-of-mouth hit on the service. The show premiered to stellar reviews last month, and according to FlixPatrol, remained in the middle of the rankings table for some time before starting to spike with every new episode. For a brief moment, the series was the number-one title on Apple worldwide before jumping back to #2 thanks tothe Jon Hamm-led dramedy Your Friends and Neighbors. With just three more episodes to go, the horror comedy series is primed to become an even bigger hit.

A Rewarding Binge Is Awaiting You With ‘Widow’s Bay’

We’re talking, of course, about Widow’s Bay. The show is created by Katie Dippold, a Parks and Recreation alum who appears to have combined that hit sitcom’s absurdity with her love for indie horror. Widow’s Bay stars television veteran Matthew Rhys as a mayor who discovers that his small town believes in the supernatural. The show has a “Certified Fresh” 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Katie Dippold successfully continues to invest in eccentricity with this outlandish horror-comedy that stokes the genre’s well-worn tropes to winning effect, bringing scares, laughs, and a game cast.” In her review, Collider’s Emily Bernard hailed Widow’s Bay as “Apple’s boldest show yet.” Stay tuned to Collider for more updates, and catch up with Widow’s Bay before the finale on June 17.

Andy Dick appeared to be in good spirits while signing autographs in a rare public appearance just five months after his alleged near-fatal drug overdose.

Dick, 60, was photographed at a booth at the Hollywood Show convention on Friday, May 29, where he was seen chatting with attendees and singing various pieces of memorabilia.

During the rare outing, the troubled star wore a pinstriped jacket over a black T-shirt for the outing as he sat at a table with various promotional products scattered in front of him, according to photos obtained by Page Six.

Just five months before the outing, Dick was found unconscious after experiencing an apparent overdose in Los Angeles. The incident took place after years of Dick’s known struggles with substance abuse.

Reba alum Christopher Rich candidly discussed his road to recovery after being diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury following a massive stroke. Rich rose to stardom playing Alexander “Sandy” Cory on Another World in the early ’80s. From there, Rich continued to make memorable appearances on shows such as The Nanny, ER and Murphy Brown […]

Dick was filming with friends Adam Carbone and Alexander Bailey in Hollywood on December 9, 2025, when he reportedly left the group and smoked crack cocaine with a random man on the street.

He fell unconscious and was revived after he received four shots of Narcan, a medication that can reverse the effects of opioid overdoses. The health scare was so serious that Dick told Page Six in January that he “legit died.”

“This is not funny, and I don’t remember this, but they say I came back to life, sat up, and the first thing outta my mouth was, ‘Where’s the vodka?’” he recalled.

In January, Dick told TMZ that he checked out of rehab and moved into a sober-living facility. He added that he was “taking things one day at a time and staying focused on sobriety” as he began a new chapter in his life.

Dick continued to open up about the overdose while appearing on the March 4 episode of the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast, in which he admitted he didn’t remember anything from the incident except “waking up in the ambulance.”

He confirmed he was dead and that his heart stopped, and he also shared that he turned “purple” and was “not breathing.”

Also during the appearance, Dick recalled that he had a scan after the incident and it revealed that he had “about five to seven holes” in his brain.

However, his rep clarified to Entertainment Weekly that the holes are not drug-related but were instead caused during a 2019 incident when a man punched Dick in the head.

“The issue with his brain is from the 2019 attack that almost killed Andy when an unprovoked attacker cold cocked Andy while he was outside of the club he and Paris Dylan had just performed,” the spokesperson explained. “We are assured that his brain will heal.”

The spokesperson continued, “As everyone knows, Andy has been battling his addictions for years. There was an incident this past December, but I am happy to report that Andy is healthy, sober and doing great!”

Picking the right shoes to pack for a summer vacation can feel confusing, unless you take a page from Selena Gomez‘s book. The star just shared a new Instagram post from her latest trip to London, which included plenty of appearances from woven Mary Jane flats. Best of all, we found a similarly chic style that you’ll want to pack in your carry-on this season — especially since our pick is under $55.

As seen in the stylish photos, Gomez walked through the city wearing white Mary Jane ballet flats. Her closed-toe footwear featured a woven texture and capped toes, secured with straps and large gold buckles. Similar details can be found in a nearly identical style from DV Dolce Vita, which has an open woven texture and thick buckled straps. A sheer fabric lining keeps the style ventilated in the heat while protecting your feet from dirt and dust.

Gomez wore a white button-up cardigan and a silky slip skirt in this adorable flat style, creating a chic monochrome outfit. Her look was complete with oval-shaped sunglasses, smooth gold hoop earrings and a buckled brown leather crossbody bag.

Selena Gomez just gave Us another reason to refresh our sneaker rotation. The singer, actress and Rare Beauty mogul recently swept through London and documented the whole thing on Instagram, looking effortlessly polished in a way that only she seems to pull off. The standout detail? Crisp white sneakers that quietly stole the show from […]

We’d similarly recommend wearing this textured shoe with lighter colors to create a coordinated, put-together appearance. The style would subtly make your legs look longer if you wore it with matching white jeans or trousers. However, it would also look especially adorable with dresses, shorts, and skirts in the same hue, creating an effortless summertime ensemble.

Gomez isn’t the only star to fall for flats this season — especially Mary Janes. The breathable shoe choice has also been spotted on Katie Holmes (in multiple colors), Jennifer Lawrence, Margot Robbie, Lily Collins, and Cameron Diaz. With flat soles and light, smooth-fitting textures — plus secure upper straps to keep your feet from slipping — this footwear pick has quickly become an easy method for elevating outfits and add a subtle preppy undertone.

As Gomez proved on her vacation, chicly textured flats are a shoe worth having in your summer rotation. Whether you’re traveling or looking for an effortlessly stylish base for an outfit, this style’s woven finish adds an artisanal touch to casual and dressy looks. With its ventilated design, flat base, and secure straps, this shoe stays put, making it the perfect slip-on option to wear everywhere from now through fall.

After killing off a main character halfway into Euphoria‘s presumed series finale, Sydney Sweeney‘s character Cassie mourned while washing sex toys.

The Sunday, May 31, episode of the hit HBO series showed Rue’s (Zendaya) death halfway into the finale. The rest of the presumed conclusion to the show was focused on the other characters reacting to Rue’s shocking death.

Lexi (Maude Apatow) confided in Cassie — who was washing her sex toys — about reading through Rue’s Bible after her death. The scene stood out due to what Cassie was doing while discussing her friend no longer being alive. She also smiled and kept the conversation light while complimenting Rue’s smile.

Sunday’s episode was the conclusion to a chaotic season for Cassie. Creator Sam Levinson specifically received backlash for how he portrayed Cassie’s OnlyFans arc after some creators weren’t thrilled with how their line of work was portrayed on screen.

Levinson, however, defended the decision to push boundaries.

“[Cassie] has got her dog house and her little dog ears and the nose, and that has its own humor,” Levinson explained to The Hollywood Reporter in April. “But what makes the scene is the fact that her housekeeper is the one filming it.”

He continued: “What we wanted to always find is the other layer of absurdity that we’re able to tie into it so that we’re not too inside of her fantasy or illusion,” the 41-year-old added. “The gag is to jump out, to break the wall.”

Levinson broke down how he and director of photography Marcell Rév brought the scenes to life.

“An obvious choice would’ve been something modern and very plain and fancy, but we ended up choosing this mid-century home, which is a little tacky, but also stuck in the ‘70s,” Rév explained. “It’s probably a strange choice, but also it gives us possibilities. OnlyFans has its own aesthetic and how you elevate that aesthetic to the show’s aesthetic is a challenge. I’m not going to lie.”

Despite the backlash, Levinson stood by his vision.

“Some of these scenes we only lit with these ring lights that she would use. When you’re inside, it’s a beautiful, glowing front light, but then you jump out of it and it’s just a pool of light and everything surrounding it is dark. It’s just gnarly and jarring,” he added. “We wanted to capture what she’s trying to show the audience and be inside of it. But then also pull back wider and see how depressing it is.”

Euphoria is currently streaming on HBO.

Euphoria went out with a bang after the season 3 finale killed off a crucial main character halfway into the episode.

During the Sunday, May 31, episode of the hit HBO series, Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) killed Rue (Zendaya) after he found out that she was working undercover to take him down. He gave her pain killers that were laced with fentanyl — and she ultimately overdosed halfway into the episode.

Ali (Colman Domingo) found Rue dead on his couch and the rest of the episode followed his mission to get revenge on Alamo. The final episode of the show was Ali at the farm that Rue spent time at in the season 3 premiere where he said grace at the dinner table in her honor.

While Rue’s death may come as a shock to some, other fans were prepared for Zendaya’s arc to get wrapped up in the presumed series finale. The actress was previously asked by Drew Barrymore in April whether the show was over for good after season 3.

“I think so, yeah,” she said on Barrymore’s eponymous talk show. “That closure is coming.”

Creator Sam Levinson, meanwhile, was more vague.

“[I write] every season like it’s the last season,” he told Variety in April. “[I have] no plans [for season 4].”

He continued: “I want to finish this as strong as I can. I’m cutting [episodes] 7 and 8 still. I’m putting some finishing touches. I just want to deliver a f***ing slam dunk season.”

Rue wasn’t the only major casualty in the show’s third season. Jacob Elordi‘s character, Nate, also suffered a grim fate when he was killed in a box in the ground from a rattlesnake bite.

“That was a cool way to go. Nate was someone who has made so many mistakes and made so many dark choices,” Elordi explained in a segment that aired after the May 24 episode. “It’s cool to see it all come to what it’s come to.”

Elordi recalled having to film in a coffin, adding, “My shoulders were touching the side and they couldn’t move my arms. Then they would drill the lid on it and it would get dark. 
It was really nice, actually. It was quite peaceful in there.”

The stunt team, meanwhile, stressed how important it was to make sure the actor had oxygen. They praised Elordi for agreeing to spend “minimal time in the coffin.” Levinson, for his part, said he “wanted to shoot it with a real snake” so a rattlesnake and a boa constrictor were both featured on screen.

“Snakes were rattling, which was really alarming when you are locked in a box,” Elordi noted. “They had a boa constrictor that they put a fake rattler on the end of it.”

He continued: “He was super cute. He was really cuddly. So he kind of just sidled up next to me and it was nice. But he was really sleepy. He was a sleepy snake. I had to kind of nudge him to get him to come up. And that was it.”

At the end of the segment, Elordi reflected on his time playing Nate.

Noah Brown is opening up about the search efforts and subsequent discovery of his late brother Matt Brown’s remains.

“For the past couple days, I’ve been communicating back and forth with the different search teams,” Noah exclusively tells Us Weekly. “There [were] two separate search teams that were going to look for him. They were nonprofits and we’re all communicating.”

He continued, “One of the smaller, more local teams decided to go out yesterday, and about — I think it’s 3:20-something, 3:27, 3:28, something like that — they texted me and told me they had found him. So I rushed down to the spot.”

Local authorities confirmed Matt’s body was recovered from the Okanogan River in Washington state on Saturday, May 30.

Authorities are crediting a “group of private citizens” for ultimately recovering the body of Alaskan Bush People star Matt Brown. “On Saturday, May 30, 2026, a group of private citizens conducting a search along the Okanogan River located a deceased individual in the river,” a Sunday, May 31, updated press release shared by Washington state’s […]

“A group of private citizens conducting a search along the Okanogan River located a deceased individual in the river,” a Sunday, may 31, updated press release shared by the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office’s official Facebook page read in part. “The individual was recovered and brought to shore, where he was positively identified as Matthew Brown.”

Noah tells Us that rather than “leaving the body where it was,” the small search team decided to load Matt “into a small skiff” and move his body “to shore.”

“Then myself and the rest of the people that were looking hauled the skiff up further on the shore, and that’s where it was … when the coroner came,” he adds. “Right now, all I can say is that he was lost in the river. He was lost in the river and we found him.”

According to Noah, his brother’s body is currently with “the coroner” and “they’re going to do an autopsy.”

They haven’t yet released the cause of death,” he tells Us, though is brother Bear Brown shared in a Saturday social media post that he believes his brother Matt’s death was “self-inflicted.”

Noah confirmed via TikTok on Saturday that he was present when his brother’s body was found and helped local authorities to ID his body. The Alaskan Bush People star tells Us that he is still processing the moment he realized the body was his brother’s.

“I’m kind of compartmentalizing, kind of focusing on, like, what the next thing is I’m supposed to do,” he says of the moment he saw his brother’s remains. “I knew I needed to be there in order to be able to identify him. It’s not just for the sheriffs and everything.”

He continues, “My family has this thing that if we don’t see the body and one of us is able to confirm otherwise, there is, like, a little glimmer of hope that maybe they’re still out there. His ID was on him, his social security was on him. And I, personally, I personally ID’d him. They unzipped the body bag for me, and I was able to visually ID [my brother].”

Bear Brown slammed people leaving disrespectful comments about brother Matt Bear amid the family’s concerns for his well-being. “First off, I’m not just making a video on rumors. It’s a very, very, very, very small chance it’s not him. It’s like 99 percent him,” Bear, 38, said of the family’s fear for Matt, 43, in […]

As to why he was the family member to positively ID his brother after he went missing, Noah tells us he was simply “in the vicinity.”

“I just happened to be the one to be taking the lead on it because, I guess, I was the most prepared to do it,” he says. “To kind of take all that responsibility.”

On Sunday, the Brown Family issued an exclusive statement to Us Weekly, speaking out for the first time as a collective unit after Matt’s untimely death.

“We are incredibly proud of the lives he touched. Some of the messages we treasure most are from people who told us Matt’s honesty about addiction and recovery gave them hope during their own darkest moments,” the family said in part. “At the same time, Matt spent many years battling serious mental health challenges and addiction. These were complex struggles that affected every aspect of his life.”

They continued, “Like countless families facing similar circumstances, we experienced periods of hope, recovery, setbacks, heartbreak, reconciliation, and renewed hope again.”
