Zendaya has suggested that the upcoming third season of HBO's 'Euphoria' may be the show's final chapter. During an appearance on 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' the 29-year-old actress confirmed that Season 3 could be the series' last, stating, 'I think so, yeah,' when asked if this would be the final season. She added, 'Closure is coming,' hinting at a definitive conclusion for the drama.
The Emmy-winning star, who plays Rue Bennett, also reflected on the show's impact, saying, 'Euphoria cracked my heart open.' She credited her character with teaching her about empathy, redemption, and personal growth. 'Rue taught me so much about life,' Zendaya shared. 'That crew has also seen me grow up. I owe so much to that show.'
Season 3 premieres April 12 on HBO and HBO Max, featuring a five-year time jump that transitions the characters from high school to adulthood. Showrunner Sam Levinson revealed that Rue will be in Mexico, struggling with debt and addiction, while other characters like Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate (Jacob Elordi) will get married. Cassie's storyline will explore her addiction to social media and envy of her peers' perceived success. Jules (Hunter Schafer) will attend art school, and Maddy (Alexa Demie) will work in Hollywood.
The premiere also marked a rare public appearance of Zendaya's 't' tattoo, a tribute to her partner, Tom Holland. The actress wore a black halter dress that revealed the ink, fueling ongoing speculation about their marital status. Her stylist, Law Roach, previously claimed the couple had secretly married, though neither has publicly confirmed this. Zendaya also wore a gold band and her engagement ring, adding to the speculation.
At the red carpet event, Zendaya and co-star Sydney Sweeney made a striking fashion statement, with Zendaya in a dramatic black gown and Sweeney in a clinging white dress. The premiere honored the late Eric Dane, who plays Nate's father and appears in his final on-screen role after his passing in February.
