Actor Eric Dane, known for his role as Cal Jacobs on HBO's Euphoria, revealed his diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in April 2025. Despite the challenging news, Dane expressed his determination to continue working on the show's upcoming final season. He shared his gratitude for his family's support and his commitment to his craft, stating he was "not about to concede my purpose to some disease."
Production on Euphoria's third season faced several delays, including commitments from creator Sam Levinson and the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in late 2023. The series ultimately entered production later that year. The show, which premiered in 2019 and follows Rue's struggles with sobriety, will return for its third and final season on April 12. This season is expected to honor both Dane and castmate Angus Cloud, who passed away in July 2023.
