Zendaya Allegedly Frustrated at Euphoria Creator for the Delay

Euphoria creator Sam Levinson hasn’t been having some great PR recently, and with the delay of the next season of Euphoria, everyone has been getting heated at Levinson for holding things back.

What’s interesting is that a source that is close to Levinson says that the delay isn’t just pissing off fans—it’s also pissing off the series main star, Zendaya.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the source has claimed that Zendaya had started getting beef with Levinson when he started focusing on his work on The Idol when he was supposed to be working Euphoria. The site writes:

Zendaya was so perturbed that she asked for a meeting with HBO’s Bloys and Orsi, demanding to know why the network allowed Levinson to turn his attention to another show — an HBO show, no less — with Euphoria hanging in the balance.

There’s also the case of the death of Levinson’s producing partner Kevin Turen. With Turen said to have been a good manager for the more volatile Levinson, Levinson’s wife Ashley was said to be attached as a producer for Euphoria 3, which a lot of people don’t seem to be happy with.

A talent rep had said, “Sam needs somebody else beside Ashley… He needs a voice of reason, and Kevin was a genius at that.” Another insider also said, “Sam really is a big talent, but he needs managing, and if you’re a spouse, it’s tough. He needs boundaries, he needs deadlines. It’s hard for a spouse to set limits. You’re setting yourself up for failure.”

Funnily enough, there was also a source that said that Zendaya was the cause of the delay since she had started focusing more on her movie career, with her appearing in box office hits like Dune: Part Two and Challengers. The source said, “It was all about her… Everybody wanted to make it about Sam, but it was her.”

Despite the falling out between the show creators and stars, the article does say that HBO is close to coming up with a story that they could eventually work with for Season 3. Hopefully fans don’t have to wait too long because it’s getting harder to convince people that Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, and Hunter Schafer are in high school.

A release date for Euphoria 3 has not been announced.
