Will Jules and Rue Get Back Together?

Soon, things escalate, and Rue’s addiction begins to take a toll on her.
Elliott tells the truth about Rue’s drug use to Jules, who in turn shares the information with Rue’s mom.

In the season 2 finale, Jules talks with Rue after Lexi’s play. Jules expresses that she misses and still loves Rue. However, Rue simply kisses Jules on the forehead and walks away. Through a voice-over, Rue narrates that she will remember Jules as her first love, hinting that she is prepared to move on from Jules.
Is Hunter Schafer Leaving Euphoria?
Actress and model Hunter Schafer essays the role of Jules in ‘Euphoria.’ Jules is one of the most important characters on the show. Her relationship with Rue has been a cornerstone of the show’s narrative for the first two seasons. However, with Rue and Jules parting ways as lovers in the second season finale, some viewers might be wondering whether Jules will be written off the show. While the season 2 finale certainly closes a chapter in Jules’ life, it is unlikely this is the last viewers have seen Schafer on the show.
Schafer is credited as a series regular and also serves as an executive producer on the show. Her portrayal of Jules has been received positively by critics and viewers alike. Moreover, Jules has her own story arc. Her past, a tendency to self-harm, and struggle with self-identity are all compelling aspects of the character that can be explored in future seasons. ‘Euphoria’ has been renewed for a third season, so viewers should rest assured that we will be seeing more of Schafer as Jules in future episodes.
