Barbie Ferreira is reflecting on her departure from HBO’s “Euphoria,” saying she left the hit series after Season 2 because she no longer felt her character had a meaningful creative path forward and wanted to focus on more demanding acting roles.

In a recent appearance on Amanda Hirsch’s “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, released Tuesday, Ferreira said her exit as Kat Hernandez was not the result of behind-the-scenes conflict or the dramatic walk-off rumors that circulated online at the time. Instead, she described a slow, collaborative process of realizing the role had plateaued.
