#CASSIE MCKAY EUPHORIA SERIES#

I've actually worked with him before and he's really good people.

What was your mindset when you read that that was where the story of McKay was going to go? First of all, everybody is just very, very different what they are comfortable with, so shout out to Astro. I'm assuming that scene in 'The Next Episode' is the reason. I thought that was interesting because I know Astro was going to be in that role, and then he left the series, and there was no real explanation or reasoning behind his departure. People are kind of confused-they don't know what happened, but people are really pulled in, they're really shocked. What was the response like after people saw 'The Next Episode'? It was great the response has been crazy. How that situation played out the next day, in the midst of a spicy AF Halloween party, is one of the reasons why Euphoria has become must-watch summer TV.Īfter surviving another wild trek through Euphoria, we recently got to speak to Algee Smith about the episode, his thoughts on the Euphoria Season 2 renewal, and how his life's changed since he became a part of one of 2019's most talked-about series. We not only got to see where McKay's head was at as a small-town football star realizing that his NFL dreams aren't as easy to obtain, but we witnessed his relationship with Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) take a dark turn after he was attacked by a group of guys during an intimate moment between the couple. Featured in that cast is Algee Smith, a rising star who was also a part of two of 2018's more talked-about pop culture moments: BET's The Bobby Brown Story (where he reprised his role as Ralph Tresvant from The New Edition Story) and The Hate U Give, where his character's death was the catalyst for all of the events of the film.ĭuring this week's episode of Euphoria ('The Next Episode'), we got to learn more about the college footballer McKay, the character that Smith (a Michigan native who is also a singer) portrays, and the events of the episode had people talking.
