<p>Bye Bye Kat! &#8216;Euphoria&#8217; star <strong>Barbie Ferreira</strong> announced that she will not be returning to the show for its third season.</p>
<p>In a post on Instagram, Ferreira announced that after two seasons, she&#8217;s hanging up the glasses, cat mask, and goth chic wardrobe she sported as Kathrine Hernandez. Barbie&#8217;s message was accompanied by &#8220;fan art&#8221; made by her costar Hunter Schafer, who plays Jules on the HBO show.</p>
<blockquote><p>After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character Kat, I&#8217;m having to say a very teary eye&#8217;d goodbye.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>I hope many of you could see yourself in her like I did and that she brought you joy to see her journey into the character she is today. I put all my care and love into her and I hope you guys could feel it. Love you katherine hernandez.&#8221;</p>
<p> ;</p></blockquote>
<p>Fans followed the story of Katherine Hernandez, affectionately known as Kat, who was on a journey of self-love, self-expression and confidence throughout the course of seasons 1 and 2 of the show. She eventually finds the confidence to be her most sexy and body positive self before breaking her first high-school boyfriend&#8217;s heart.</p>
<p>Euphoria season 2 focused on the growth of much of the main cast, with Kat&#8217;s character taking a back seat to the drama. Alleged tension between Barbie and &#8216;Euphoria&#8217; director Same Levinson was rumored to be the blame for the drastic cut to Kat&#8217;s storyline, but she seemingly shut down those rumors in an interview with Insider.</p>
<blockquote><p>Sometimes, things take on a life of their own, and they&#8217;re not rooted in the truth, but it&#8217;s OK because I know it&#8217;s just out of passion and out of curiosity and all that good stuff. And I signed p for it. So, I&#8217;ll take it. I&#8217;ll take the good and the bad.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
