"That’s my sister before ‘Euphoria’ and after,” she told Variety. “That’s gonna be my sister for life, so I’m sure we’ll work together again one day in some capacity.”

“I loved being able to embody her and give her life. I’m really excited for Season 3. I know they’re going to do something special and it’s going to be good," Storm said, referring to her role Gia, who is a younger sister of Rue Bennett.
