These 'Euphoria' stars are lighting up the big screen!
While we wait for a (possibly never coming) third season of Euphoria, the young cast of the show is staying booked and busy!
Many of the show’s stars have made the leap from TV to film, with several of them starring in some of the biggest and most anticipated movies of 2023 and 2024.
Because of the rise of these young stars, and Colman Domingo’s rise to becoming one of Hollywood’s main leading men, it’s been difficult for the entire cast to get together to film a new season. Still, HBO says that the show is not canceled.
“HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season. In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities,” it said in a recent statement.
Still, the stars of the show are getting busier and busier. Let’s take a look at what these four Euphoria stars have been doing in between seasons 2 and 3 of the popular teen drama series.1. Zendaya - 'Dune: Part Two'
Zendaya is currently sitting pretty, starring in Dune: Part Two, which is currently the highest grossing movie of 2024. In the film, she plays Chani, a young Fremen woman who falls in love with Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet). The film is currently in theaters.
2. Zendaya - 'Challengers'
