While giving an interview with Vogue Italia, Zendaya was questioned about when she will helm a Euphoria episode. She revealed that she was supposed to direct episode 6 of season 2, A Thousand Little Trees of Blood, although she didn’t have too much time to prepare. However, Zendaya will probably be helming an episode upcoming season.
Read what she shared below:
“It’s funny. I was actually supposed to direct episode 6, but then I had to act in it. I didn’t have enough time, so unfortunately, I wasn’t able to this time around. I wanted to have enough time to do it the right way. So, next season probably.”
In various episodes of Euphoria, Zendaya has proven time and again to be a formidable force in front of the camera. For her strong performance as Rue in the first season, Zendaya went on to become the youngest recipient of the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. However, If Zendaya ends up helming an episode of Euphoria in the upcoming season, it will be quite a departure from the second season.
