The speculation follows recent comments made by Zendaya during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, where she suggested that the third season could conclude the series. “I think so, yeah,” she said when asked if the upcoming instalment would mark the end. When pressed further, she added, “Yes, I think so.”

Reflecting on her experience, Zendaya spoke positively about her time on the HBO drama. “Euphoria cracked my heart open,” she said. “Rue taught me so much about life… that crew has also seen me grow up. I owe so much to that show.”

Despite her remarks, reports have indicated potential behind-the-scenes challenges, including speculation about creative differences involving series creator Sam Levinson. Delays to the production of Season 3, partly linked to his work on another project, have also contributed to ongoing rumours.

Her absence from certain group moments at the premiere, including a lack of photographs with co-star Sydney Sweeney, has further fuelled discussion. However, some observers argue that her early exit may simply reflect personal preference rather than deeper issues.

Zendaya has previously made similarly brief appearances at other promotional events, including premieres for her recent film projects, suggesting a consistent approach to public engagements.

Euphoria Season 3 will premiere on April 12, 2026, on HBO and HBO Max.
