Euphoriais undoubtedly one of the biggest shows in the world right now. It is also one of the top three viewed shows on HBO Max withHouse of the DragonandThe Last of Us. The show is known for its explicit and mature themes. However, it can’t be denied that it receives heaps of social media attention due to Zendaya being te lead of the show. As such, when it was revealed that the actress was about to get eye-watering amounts of money for season 3, no one was surprised.

Zendaya’s mega new deal is a stark contrast to co-star Sydney Sweeney’s words about payments in TV shows. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2022, the actress said:
“They don’t pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals. The established stars still get paid, but I have to give 5 percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, 3 percent or something like that to my business manager. I have to pay my publicist every month, and that’s more than my mortgage.”
However, Zendaya clearly doesn’t have to worry about that. Her new deal puts her on the list of actors who received 7-figure salaries for their TV roles. Belloni said that other such stars are Jason Sudeikis onTed Lasso, Elisabeth Moss onShining Girls, Michael Keaton onDopesick, and John Krasinski onJack Ryan. Krasinski is reportedly paid $2 million every episode, however, he is also an executive producer on the show. One can’t deny that Zendaya deserves every bit of that near-million-dollar paycheck every episode.

Zendaya’s newEuphoriaseason 3 deal is understandable and also expected. After all, she was the executive producer of the show’s second season and has even bagged Emmy awards in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category for both seasons. Even though the plot and characterization in the show aren’t always loved by critics and audiences alike, Zendaya’s superior acting is the one thing everyone has always appreciated.

There’s also the fact that the actress has a thriving acting career outside of the show. She is the female lead in MCU’sSpider-Manfilms and also recently starred inDune. The sequel to the latter, allegedly featuring her in a more prominent role, is going release this year. As such, it can’t be denied that the actress has truly made her mark in Hollywood and is growing into a talented star who knows her worth.
Dune: Part 2will release on 09 August 2025, andEuphoria season 3is speculated to stream in the middle of 2024.
