Will Zendaya Direct An Episode In 'Euphoria' Season 3?

During a fresh Q&A consultation for Vogue Italia, Zendaya revealed that she used to be intended to get started directing an episode of Euphoria back in season 2. "It’s funny. I was actually supposed to direct episode 6, but then I had to act in it," she shared. "I didn't have enough time, so unfortunately, I wasn't able to this time around. I wanted to have enough time to do it the right way." She added that she might get to it "next season, probably."

In season 2, the actress had to go through a number of intense scenes together with an emotional episode where her persona is set up for intervention through her friends and family.

"I think since season one, we knew that Sam had a vision of having an episode like that, where it would just be all on the line, and we would just be going at it, trying to just tell her that she needs help, but it was challenging to film," she told EW at the time.

(*3*) After that episode, fans already knew that Zendaya was bound to get another Emmy nomination.

Why Zendaya Wants A Time Jump In 'Euphoria' Season 3

Speaking to Hollywood Reporter about her hopes for season 3 of Euphoria, Zendaya stated that she'd love to see the characters as highschool graduates. "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," she stated in August 2022.

"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."
