Zendaya Hopes ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 Will “Explore the Characters Out of High School”

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, actor and executive producer Zendaya opened up about what she hopes to see in Euphoria‘s third season.

“I think it’ll be exciting to explore the characters out of high school. I want to see what Rue looks like in her sobriety journey, how chaotic that might look,” Zendaya began. “But also with all the characters, in the sense where they’re trying to figure out what to do with their lives when high school is over and what kind of people they want to be. What was special about this season was that we got to dive into [the other characters] in a much deeper sense. I think we can do that again with the third season. There’s so much talent, you want to make sure everybody has the chance to have that.”

The show’s second season ended with a cautiously hopeful Rue detailing the beginning of her newfound sobriety, alongside the fallout from Lexi’s play. Discussing Euphoria‘s final scenes, Zendaya shared that

“We found that it was a really beautiful thing that Lexi’s play is the thing that inspires her — the idea that art can save a life. Rue was able to see herself and not hate herself.”

Since its cliffhanger ending, fans have been eager to find out what’ll become of Rue, if Nate and his father will ever figure out their relationship and if Maddy and Cassie will remain friends. It appears that we might have a while to wait for the third season though because new episodes of the show aren’t rumored to return till 2024.
