Eric Dane Makes First ‘Euphoria’ Appearance Since His Death, See the Photos

Hollywood is still mourning the loss of Eric Dane, but he lives on through his work … the late actor just made his first posthumous appearance Sunday in the second episode of “Euphoria” Season 2 — titled “America My Dream.”

In February, Eric tragically lost his battle with ALS … but he’d finished filming his scenes for the hit HBO Max show before he passed.

Warning: Spoilers ahead!

During Episode 2, Eric’s character Cal Jacobs visits his son Nate — played by Jacob Elordi — to check in. Cal sits in Nate’s kitchen while he cooks … and lets him know he’s going to Sex and Love Addicts meetings.

Cal also tells his son he knows that his fiancée — Sydney Sweeney‘s Cassie — has been selling sexy snaps on OnlyFans.

He says he’s concerned Nate might be having “financial issues” and warns him about “chasing pleasure.” This prompted Nate to respond by saying … “You’re gay. You’re in denial, and it came out in very weird ways.”

Cal rejects the statement about his sexuality, replying … “I’m not gay, I was a hedonist.”

Remember … last season ended with Nate calling the cops on Cal for sex tapes he made during motel encounters with men and transgender women — including his underage classmate, Hunter Schafer‘s Jules.

“Euphoria” Season 3 takes place five years after everything that went down in the Season 2 finale … and now Nate is running Cal’s construction company.

Creator Sam Levinson recently told Extra that Eric’s ALS caused “a slight slur in his voice” … but they masked it by implying Cal had been drinking in his scenes.

It’s unclear how many episodes the late actor will be in this season … but he’s in the teaser for next week’s installment, which will feature Nate and Cassie’s wedding.

In the upcoming episode, Cal is in attendance … where he watches Cassie walk down the aisle and reacts to Nate’s ex Maddy — played by Alexa Demie — making her grand entrance at the ceremony.

We’ll also see him come face-to-face with Jules — presumably the first time since his arrest — who asks him … “Remember me?”

His appearance in Season 3 of “Euphoria” marks Eric’s final TV role before his death.

He was 53.
