Speaking with Variety at the Tuesday, March 17, premiere of “The Drama,” Zendaya shared a bit of insight into the third season of “Euphoria,” for which the actress won two Emmys for her role as teenage drug addict Rue Bennett.

“It was a whirlwind. I did what I do in eight months in like four months,” she said of filming the show. “It was like trying to get eight episodes in at once. It just flew by me.”

While revealing that although she has “seen a little bit” of the upcoming season, she’s “excited” to see the full season and hopes fans are too. “I hope it turns out beautifully,” Zendaya told the outlet.

The “Euphoria” crew is out of high school, but definitely not free from drama. Per The Hollywood Reporter, following the release of the season three trailer, details about the synopsis became clearer.

Zendaya’s lead character, Rue, is caught up in drama in Mexico because of drug debt to a crazed dealer, Laurie, played by Martha Kelly. Meanwhile, Cassie and Nate, portrayed by Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi, are married, but from the looks of it, not happily.  

Hunter Schafer’s character Jules has leveled up in a major way, as the brief glimpse of her shows her luxuriating in a posh mansion. As for Maddie (Alexa Demi) and Lexi (Maude Apatow), they are working in the Hollywood scene, at a talent agency and as a showrunner’s assistant, respectively. 

New cast additions for the third season include legendary actress Sharon Stone, who plays Lexi’s boss, Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, and Eli Roth.

On Tuesday, March 12, TMZ shared that inside sources confirmed that the rumored feud between the two “Euphoria” co-stars was completely untrue.

The drama stemmed from a behind-the-scenes video and photos featuring cast members Zendaya, Schafer, Demie, and Apatow, with Sweeney noticeably absent.

Fans quickly hopped online to suggest the two were feuding, but the source told the outlet that Sweeney was absent from the footage because she was shooting a scene for the show.

While appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Zendaya addressed speculation that she is married to Holland after her longtime stylist and friend, Law Roach, said the couple had already tied the knot. 

The “Dune” star commented on fans creating their own AI wedding photos of the couple amid the speculation.

“I was out, and about in real life, and people are like, ‘Oh my god, your wedding photos are really gorgeous.’ And I was like, ‘Babe, they’re AI.’ They’re not real,” Zendaya said, adding that “many people” were mad they weren’t invited to the ceremony they believed was real. 

However, she stopped short of confirming or denying the secret wedding speculation, instead having a little fun with Kimmel and fans about the whole thing. 

Saying she wanted to “clear the confusion,” Zendaya shared wedding footage from her film, “The Drama.”

In the clip, Zendaya plays a bride, and co-star Robert Pattinson is the groom, but the actress replaced Pattinson’s head with an image of Holland’s instead, causing the audience to laugh.
