The drama behind the scenes of “Euphoria” is spicier than a jalapeño in a hot tub! The latest scoop on Zendaya’s professional tango with “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson has more twists and turns than a soap opera marathon. Grab your popcorn, because we’re diving into the juicy bits!
The Zendaya Chronicles: Once Besties, Now Frenemies?
Picture this: Zendaya and Sam Levinson were once like peanut butter and jelly, hanging out at his place, probably sipping on kombucha and discussing existential philosophy or whatever artsy folks do. But then, dun-dun-dun, things got chilly. Zendaya pulled back, and Sam apparently started to “resent” her. Drama alert!
From BFFs to AWOL?
Rewind to the good ol’ days when Zendaya thought Sam was the bee’s knees of directors. They were as close as two peas in a pod. Zendaya’s character Rue is actually based on Sam’s teenage shenanigans with addiction. But then, plot twist: Sam got distracted by a shiny new toy – another HBO show called “The Idol,” starring The Weeknd and Lily Rose Depp. Zendaya was left twiddling her thumbs, waiting for “Euphoria” scripts while Sam was busy playing with his new friends. Cue Zendaya’s frustration hitting DEFCON 1.
Zendaya vs. The System
According to our sources (who probably moonlight as secret agents), Zendaya wasn’t thrilled about “Euphoria” being put on ice. She even had a showdown with the HBO bigwigs, demanding to know why Sam was gallivanting off to another show. The nerve!
Then came the Rolling Stone article, throwing shade at “The Idol” for alleged on-set shenanigans. Zendaya, having no part in it, still felt the heat. Her squeaky-clean image was at stake! An insider spilled the beans, saying fans started turning on Sam. Another meeting ensued, but it was like trying to glue a shattered vase – their once-tight bond was kaput.
Sam’s Side of the Story: Zendaya Who?
Meanwhile, Sam had his own version of the saga. He felt Zendaya was dragging her feet on the third season, with her eyes set on her booming movie career. You know, little films like the Spider-Man franchise, Dune, and Challengers. One source threw Zendaya under the bus, claiming, “It was all about her. Everybody wanted to make it about Sam, but it was her.” Oh, the shade!
The Return of the Euphoria Gang
Despite all this hullabaloo, “Euphoria” is set to start production in January 2025, with Zendaya back in the mix. But what about the rest of the crew?
Jacob Elordi: To Be or Not to Be?
Jacob Elordi, our brooding heartthrob, is reportedly giving off major “meh” vibes about returning. He’s confirmed for season three but seems as excited as a cat at a dog show.
Sydney Sweeney: Eager Beaver or Missed Opportunities?
Sydney Sweeney, on the other hand, is ready to jump back into the “Euphoria” fray. Despite missing out on other gigs due to the delays, she’s pumped to reunite with Sam and his creative chaos.
For the full lowdown, head over to THR and brace yourselves for more behind-the-scenes drama than you can shake a stick at!
