Following her roles in last year’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and The Greatest Showman, Zendaya is returning to the small screen for her next project, having signed on to lead HBO’s drama pilot Euphoria.
Based on the Israeli series of the same name, Euphoria is a tale “of drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship all told by a lying, drug addicted 17 year old girl named Rue (Zendaya).”
Joining Zendaya in the cast of the pilot are Maude Apatow as Lexi, Brian “Astro” Bradley as McKay, Angus Cloud as Fezco, Eric Dane as Cal, Alexa Demie as Maddy, Jacob Elordi as Nate, Barbie Ferreira as Kat, Nika King as Leslie, Storm Reid as Gia, Hunter Schafer as Jules, and Sydney Sweeney as Cassie.
Zendaya will next appear in the Warner Bros. animated film Smallfoot, released in September, and she is expected to reprise her role as Michelle/MJ in Marvel’s as-yet-untitled Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel, which is shooting this summer.
