The news of Turen’s sudden demise over the weekend has left the industry in shock. Although the cause of death has not been disclosed, the impact of his loss is palpable among colleagues and friends.
A spokesperson for HBO expressed deep sadness, stating, “We are saddened to learn of the sudden passing of our friend and colleague, Kevin Turen. He was a talented producer and collaborator and will be immensely missed by all who knew and had the fortune of working with him.”
In a heartfelt statement, Turen’s father, Edward, described his son as “incredibly special,” emphasizing the profound impact he had on the world. Jay Penske, CEO of Penske Media Corp. and a close friend of Turen, highlighted the producer’s devotion to family and friends, citing his greatest passion as his loved ones.
Turen, along with Sam and Ashley Levinson, co-founded Little Lamb Productions in 2018. The trio achieved critical acclaim for producing the nine-time Emmy-winning drama “Euphoria,” featuring Zendaya and the late Angus Cloud. Their collaboration also extended to the production of the feature film “Pieces of a Woman” in 2020 and slasher-horror films “X” and “Pearl” in 2022.
Recall that the Guardian had reported about another of the Euphoria casts, Angus Cloud who died in August, with the passing of its producer, Kevin Turen, it cast a shadow on the casts of the film, and a reason to worry, Angus Cloud had died less than a week after burying his father, and his death remains a mystery to the entertainment world.
Despite Turen’s remarkable success in Hollywood, his friend Penske emphasized that family always came first for him. Turen is survived by his wife, actor Evelina Turen, and their two sons, Jack and James.
This unexpected loss has left the industry mourning one of its brightest talents, and the impact of Kevin Turen’s contributions will be felt for years to come.
