Jacob Elordi Breaks Silence on Nate Jacobs' $1 Million Extortion-Fueled Euphoria Death

Jacob Elordi said Nate Jacobs’ brutal death in “Euphoria” Season 3 Episode 7 felt like “a cool way to go,” calling his exit bittersweet after years on the HBO series.
Episode 7 kills Nate after Naz buries him alive over an unpaid debt, cuts off two toes and a finger, then uses Cassie to demand $1 million within 72 hours.
A rattlesnake bite—not suffocation through the coffin’s air hole—causes Nate’s death; Cassie and Maddy later kill Naz with Alamo’s help and discover Nate’s body.
Elordi said filming required being sealed inside a tight coffin, while creator Sam Levinson said the production used a boa constrictor with a fake rattle for safety.
The death lands in the penultimate episode ahead of the Season 3—and series—finale, set to air May 31 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.
