Zendaya says “it was a whirlwind” filming “Euphoria” Season 3.
“I did what I do in eight months in like four months,” she told me Tuesday night at the premiere of her new movie “The Drama” at the DGA. “It was like trying to get eight episodes in at once. It just flew by me.”
Zendaya, who picked up two Emmys for her work as Rue on the show, says she’s “seen a little bit” of the new season. “I’m excited,” she said. “I hope it turns out beautifully.”
In addition to “The Drama” and “Euphoria” coming out this year, she’ll also be seen starring in “Dune: Part Three,” the new “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic fantasy action film “The Odyssey.”
The first trailer for “Euphoria” Season 3 dropped in January ahead of its April 12 premiere on HBO and HBO Max.
In addition to Zendaya, main cast members returning include Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, the late Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Colman Domingo and Dominic Fike. Past cast members Barbie Ferreira, Storm Reid, Javon “Wanna” Walton and Austin Abrams will not be back for the new season. Angus Cloud, who broke out in his role as Fezco, died at age 25 in July 2023.
The new season jumps ahead five years, which sees Cassie (Sweeney) and Nate (Elordie) married and living in the suburbs and Rue living in Mexico and working off her debt to drug dealer Laurie (Kelly). Levinson previously revealed that Jules (Schafer) is in art school and Maddy (Demie) is working at a talent agency in Hollywood.
Elordi teased the new season in October. “It was incredible, man,” he told me at the Academy Museum Gala. “It was incredibly liberating. I got to play something so sort of far out from what I’ve done before.”
He said that series creator Sam Levinson “constructed something that’s incredibly clever and cinematic. I think people are really going to like it.”
Elordi insisted he didn’t know everything that happens in Season 3. “Everybody shoots at different storylines,” he said. “I don’t know what anyone else is doing. I had a really singular storyline. You don’t know what the other story lines are. It’s like FBI files. So it’s great because I’ll get to consume the show the same way that everybody else does as a fan, which I haven’t been able to do before. I’m really excited.”
Newcomers to the season include Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Trisha Paytas, Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth and Marshawn Lynch.
