You have probably heard the news by now. "Euphoria" and "The Idol" executive producer Kevin Turen passed away last Sunday. He was 44.
Well-known for his creativity, passion, and range of crafts, Turen's sudden passing left a big hole in the entertainment industry.
Turen's father, Edward, broke the news, saying: "Kevin was so incredibly special, this world is going to be less without him."
To commemorate and remember his contributions to the industry, here are some of the greatest shows and films Kevin Turen worked on throughout his career:
1. 'Pearl' (2022)
The 2022 cult-hit thriller "Pearl" was among Turen's products while working with director Ti West. The A24 slasher flick tells the story of the titular Pearl dreaming of the big city as she tends to her ailing father while trapped on an isolated farm.
The first of the "X" trilogy shows the lengths actors can go to feed their need for attention, no matter the cost.
British actress Mia Goth takes on the leading role to the max as she takes the audience into the wild and bloody life of Pearl in the showbiz world.
"Pearl" is currently streaming on Showtime, fuboTV, and Paramount+.
2. 'X' (2022)
Continuing Ti West's thriller saga, the second installment, "X," came out the same year as "Pearl."
Set in 1979, the story begins with a group of actors going to a rural village in Texas to produce an adult film. Everything changes, however, when the reclusive hosts of the house catch them in the act.
Bloody and violent, "X" is a gift that continues to give to murder thriller fans as each actor finds themselves in deadly situations.
Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, and Kid Cudi join Goth on this murder adventure. "X" is streaming now on Paramount+ and Amazon Prime.
3. 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent'
You surely have seen the meme of a confused Nicolas Cage looking at Pedro Pascal laughing. Yes, this is the film and Turen produced it.
"The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" tells the story of Cage himself finding that he is now a washed-up actor. One day, he received an invitation from a rich fan of his to a private vacation.
What follows is a journey of self-discovery filled with high amounts of drugs and somber moments.

"Waves" is now available to watch on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
5. 'Euphoria'
The Emmy Award-winning show might be one of Turen's greatest contributions.
Working with the show's creator, Sam Levinson, the two produced a compelling drama-driven story filled with drugs, sex, trauma, and social media.
"Euphoria" currently has two seasons now on HBO Max with a third coming sometime soon.
Many of the popular young actors these days cemented their names in the show, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and many more.
