Euphoria 3: Zendaya has retracted the figures of his contract

the tv series Euphoria it’s an HBO show that landed on the small screen in 2019 and, since then, it has amassed fans from all over the world (also in Italy thanks to its broadcast on Sky and the Now TV platform). The show centers on American teenagers dealing with sex, drugs and violence, but it’s not a typical teen drama. The series stars the actress Zendaya in the role of Rue Bennetta recovering drug addict, who struggles with her conflicting expectations and desires while touching on many often depressing themes.

Given the delay in filming for the third season, the future of the TV series seemed uncertain for some time

However, a major new deal reported by Matthew Belloni could point to a bright direction for the show. With Zendaya expected to gross nearly a million dollars an episode, broadcaster HBO is investing heavily in the future of Euphoria:

“Many stars have made the million-dollar-per-episode mark, mostly for limited series (Michael Keaton on Hulu’s Dopesick, Elisabeth Moss on Apple’s Shining Girls) or even ongoing television series (Jason Sudeikis on Ted Lasso, Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in 1923; Chris Pratt in The Terminal List), and especially when considering the production fees. I’m told Zendaya just wrapped up a major renegotiation for HBO’s Euphoria which likely brings her closer to that club.”

The amount of compensation for the actress may not seem too important to the average viewer, but it indicates that the third season of Euphoria is still ongoing and that the star will definitely be very involved.
While early reports indicated that HBO’s next season would arrive in early 2024, it’s now likely that the filming delay will result in a late 2024 or early 2025 release window. be aware of what next season will be like, given that Storm Reid (recently involved in another HBO series i.e The Last of Uswhich is depopulating even among those unfamiliar with the video game) still hopes that the third season of Euphoria is “less heartbreaking“.

The third season of Euphoria was also initially delayed due to the involvement of Zendaya in the movie Dune: Part Two. As the actress spent most of the shooting window on the set of another project, Euphoria it had to be shelved for the time being, since Rue he remains its de facto main character. Now, thanks to the incredible deal with the production of the television series, Zendaya will have more than enough incentive to prioritize the HBO-branded show in the future. Furthermore, the broadcaster’s willingness to fork over more money indicates that the network hopes to keep Euphoria on the air for a while longer.

Although Zendaya will appear in Dune: Part Two e Challengersis currently not involved in any other productions announced, apart from a producer role in A White Lie. The third season of Euphoria appears to be her next major project, which is a perfect sign for the future of the show, especially since the actress playing Rue she hopes season 3 will give her character a chance to live and love.
It remains to be seen if Reid e Zendaya will they get the happy ending they want when season 3 comes out.
