In the next two weeks, we’ll finally discover how Levinson chooses to end Euphoria – and there’s no end of theories online about how its central character may or may not (and, for some of them, probably will not) survive the end game. So, here are our six best theories as to how Euphoria is going to end. Spoilers: It’s probably not going to be a happy ending. Who will die in Euphoria season 3? Here are our top six …
