Following the success of an acclaimed third season of the comedy drama Shrinking and an ongoing sophomore installment of the jaw-dropping Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Apple TV has no interest in slowing down in 2026. Ahead of a return to the soccer pitch in Ted Lasso Season 4 and the hotly anticipated Margo’s Got Money Troubles later this month, the streamer dropped the second season of one of its most addictive original shows, Your Friends & Neighbors.

Released in April last year, the Jon Hamm-led thriller, Your Friends & Neighbors, became an instant hit on Apple TV, finding its way to the top of the streaming charts and earning a remarkable 402 million minutes watched in its debut week. The finale, released on May 30, was a particular hit, cracking the Nielsen Top 10 for streaming originals and drawing 392 million minutes viewed that week. Season 1 was also a hit with critics, earning a strong 79% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus on the site reading, “An acidly witty riff on breaking bad, Your Friends & Neighbors‘ class commentary occasionally stumbles but has an endlessly watchable avatar in star Jon Hamm.”

But what about the newest second season? Well, on Rotten Tomatoes, it has performed even better to date, landing an 85% rating from 20 reviews thus far. One critic wrote, “In Season 2, Your Friends & Neighbors gets more textured, showcasing a different level of affluence, the costs of lies, and why wealthy white men, in particular, constantly fail upward.” Season 2 consists of ten episodes, released weekly on Apple TV through June 5, 2026.

What Did Collider Say About ‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ Season 2?

For Collider, Nate Richard reviewed Your Friends & Neighbors Season 2 and joined those on Rotten Tomatoes by offering glowing praise. After praising the show for “elevating itself to an even more bombastic level than before,” he added, “Your Friends & Neighbors Season 2 is further proof that Tropper, Hamm, and Apple TV have made one of the most addictive series on streaming,” Richard continued, “It may juggle a lot, and takes an episode to truly get into the meat of things, but once the scandals start, you can’t look away.”

Your Friends & Neighbors Season 2 is a hit with critics and airs weekly on Apple TV. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for the latest stories.

Lately, I have been so stuck with the feeling of picking apart a thriller when it ends, instead of being impressed. Most of the time, something doesn’t add up, or there are a few characters that act out of convenience. It happens a lot. That’s why a well-written thriller stands out so much more.

The films in this list are some of the perfectly written thrillers. You can follow every decision, even when it leads somewhere uncomfortable. The tension builds up very naturally and comes from how carefully everything is set up. And more importantly, the story still makes sense when you look back at it. Let’s have a look at them.

7

‘The Fugitive’ (1993)

The Fugitive is a thriller that does not rely on twists merely; it works because every part of the story is clear and tightly connected. The film wastes very little time and moves with a steady sense of urgency, but it somehow never feels rushed. From the opening moments, the situation is easy to follow, and the stakes are set in a way that keeps the tension consistent throughout.

Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) is wrongly accused of murdering his wife and is forced to go on the run after a prison transport crash. As he searches for the truth behind the crime, U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) leads the manhunt with sharp focus and determination. What makes the writing stand out is how both sides are given equal weight. Kimble’s investigation and Gerard’s pursuit move side by side, and each step logically leads to the next. There are no unnecessary detours, which makes the story complete and carefully constructed from beginning to end.

6

‘Michael Clayton’ (2007)

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

Some thrillers build tension through action, while Michael Clayton builds it through decisions and consequences. The film takes a more controlled approach and focuses on how pressure builds over time. It trusts the audience to follow complex situations without over-explaining anything.

Michael Clayton (George Clooney) works as a fixer for a powerful law firm, and he handles problems before they grow out of control. His routine changes when Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson), a senior lawyer, begins to act unpredictably in front of him during a major case involving a large corporation. At the same time, Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) tries to contain the situation from the corporate side. The writing is almost perfect because every character has a clear motivation, and every action carries weight. The story shows how a well-written thriller does not need constant action to stay engaging.

5

‘Zodiac’ (2007)

Image via Paramount Pictures

Zodiac focuses on what happens when a thrilling case refuses to be solved. The film moves in a deliberate and controlled way, and shows how time passes without clear answers. Instead of forcing a concrete ending, it stays committed to the uncertainty, which makes the story feel more realistic and honest.

The investigation follows cartoonist Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal), journalist Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr.), and inspector Dave Toschi (Mark Ruffalo) as they try to track down the Zodiac killer. Each of them approaches the case differently, though all of them become consumed by it over time. The writing stands out because it does not simplify the process or offer easy conclusions. Clues lead somewhere, then stall. Leads appear promising, then fall apart. As a result, the tension comes from obsession and frustration, which makes the film feel complete even without a clear ending.

4

‘No Country for Old Men’ (2007)

Image via Miramax Films

No Country for Old Men takes a quieter approach towards thrillers, though the tension never really fades. The film removes many of the usual thriller elements and replaces them with stillness, timing, and unpredictability. It does not guide the audience in a traditional way, which makes every moment feel more uncertain.

Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) finds a suitcase of money after a drug deal goes wrong, and he decides to keep it, knowing it will bring trouble. That decision puts him in the path of Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a relentless killer who follows his own strict sense of logic. The writing in the movie is flawless because it avoids the cliché easy explanations, which are visible in every other thriller. This unpredictability gives the film its due credit and makes it feel carefully thought out.

3

‘Chinatown’ (1974)

Image via Paramount Pictures

Some thrillers slowly pull you into a mystery, and Chinatown does exactly that with careful control. The story begins with what seems like a simple case, but it gradually opens into something much larger. Each new detail adds another layer, and the film never rushes to explain everything at once.

Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) is a private investigator who is hired to follow a man suspected of infidelity. What starts as routine work quickly turns into a complex investigation involving water rights, corruption, and hidden power. Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) becomes central to the case, though her situation is not as clear as it first appears. Nothing feels wasted, and the story builds step by step until it reaches an ending that feels both shocking and inevitable.

2

‘The Silence of the Lambs’ (1991)

Image via Orion Pictures

The Silence of the Lambs keeps its focus tight and controlled, which makes the tension feel constant from start to finish. The film does not rely on large-scale action. Instead, it builds its impact through conversations, psychological pressure, and the space between what is said and what is implied.

Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is a trainee at the FBI who is assigned to help track down a serial killer known as Buffalo Bill. To understand the case better, she interviews Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), an imprisoned psychiatrist with a disturbing past. Their conversations become the center of the story, as Lecter offers insight while also testing Clarice at every step. Every exchange moves the story forward while revealing something about the characters, and nothing feels random.

1

‘Se7en’ (1995)

Image via New Line Cinema

Se7en is one of the best thrillers ever made since it builds toward a conclusion that feels unavoidable. The film follows a clear structure, though the tone grows darker with each step. From the beginning, it sets a mood that does not shift, which makes the ending more natural.

Detective Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and Detective Mills (Brad Pitt) investigate a series of murders connected to the seven deadly sins. As they move from one crime scene to another, the pattern becomes clearer, though the purpose behind it remains unsettling. The killer, John Doe (Kevin Spacey), stays hidden for most of the film, which adds to the tension. The writing stands out because everything connects back to the central idea. Each crime, each clue, and each conversation builds toward the last scene, making the story feel complete and carefully planned.

Offset is recovering after a frightening incident in Florida that turned from a routine public outing into a police investigation. 

The rapper, who was reportedly interacting with fans moments before the chaos unfolded, was shot near a busy hotel and casino. 

While early updates suggest his injuries are not life-threatening, the situation has raised concerns among fans, especially given his past ties to tragedy within the hip-hop community.

Offset Shot Outside Florida Hotel After Encounter With Fans

Offset was reportedly shot on Monday evening near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The 34-year-old artist was injured in an incident that took place in the valet area shortly after 7 p.m.

Speaking to Page Six, the rapper’s representative revealed that Offset survived the shooting and was receiving treatment. 

They confirmed that he was “fine” following the incident and added that he “is currently at the hospital receiving medical care.” 

The update also noted, “He is stable and being closely monitored,” though details about the severity of his injuries have not been disclosed.

Amid the incident, the authorities also released a statement to the outlet. 

“We are aware of an incident that occurred at the valet area after 7 p.m. Monday outside of  Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood that resulted in non-life-threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood,” the Seminole County Police Department revealed.

They added that officers were already nearby, allowing them to contain the situation quickly. Police also revealed that two individuals had been detained and that an investigation had begun. 

Offset Seen Smiling With Fans Moments Before Shooting

Just minutes before the shooting, Offset appeared relaxed and engaged with fans outside the venue. 

Photos taken around 7:10 p.m. and released by TMZ showed him smiling, unaware of what was about to unfold.

Witnesses said the star had been near the entrance, looking toward the valet area while on a phone call. 

During that time, several fans approached him, and he reportedly greeted them warmly. He was seen shaking hands, chatting, and even stopping to pose for photos.

The interaction appeared friendly and routine, making the sudden violence that followed all the more shocking. Video clips circulating online later showed police officers rushing to the scene, where they restrained multiple individuals.

In the footage, one man could be seen pinned to the ground while officers worked to control another person who appeared to be resisting. 

Offset’s Shooting Comes Years After Takeoff’s Death And Career Changes

The incident comes more than three years after a devastating loss within Offset’s inner circle. 

Fellow Migos member Takeoff was shot and killed in 2022 outside a bowling alley in Houston, Texas, at the age of 28.

A man named Patrick Xavier Clark was later arrested and charged in connection with the case. Although he has denied responsibility, prosecutors have claimed surveillance footage shows him firing into a crowd. His trial, which has faced delays, is now expected to begin in November.

Takeoff’s death had a major impact on Offset and the group’s future. Migos, which also included Quavo, ultimately disbanded, with each member focusing on solo work.

Offset has since continued building his individual career. He previously found success with collaborative and solo projects, including “Father of 4” and “Set It Off,” the latter of which was delayed following Takeoff’s death before debuting in the top five of the Billboard 200.

More recently, he released his third studio album, “Kiari,” in August 2025, which reached number 16 on the charts. 

He also dropped a collaborative project titled “Haunted by Fame,” featuring artists like YoungBoy Never Broke Again, NoCap, and Lil Dump, marking his continued presence in the music scene despite personal and professional challenges.

Cardi B Files For Divorce From Offset

Offset’s recent ordeal comes nearly two years after Cardi B officially filed for divorce from the rapper following years of an on-and-off relationship.

According to reports, the 33-year-old ended the union in August 2024 after the pair had “grown apart,” with sources saying the decision was not driven by a single issue but a buildup over time.  

The former couple, who married in 2017, share multiple children together and had previously split and reconciled several times.  

Cardi B had earlier filed for divorce in 2020, calling the marriage “irretrievably broken,” though they later reunited before separating again.  

However, in 2024, insiders suggested the breakup was final, with Cardi B reportedly seeking primary custody of their children. 

Despite the split, sources noted there was no major hostility, as both stars focused on co-parenting while moving forward separately after nearly seven years together.

Offset Allegedly Asked Cardi B For Millions While Facing Massive Tax Debt

Offset’s divorce from Cardi B grew increasingly tense after reports detailed the rapper’s steep financial demands while he was dealing with significant debt. 

As The Blast reported, Cardi B alleged that her ex-husband had refused to finalize their split unless she agreed to give him “millions of dollars,” cover his outstanding tax bills, and even transfer ownership of one of her properties.  

At the time, Offset was reportedly facing more than $2.3 million in unpaid taxes owed to the IRS and the state of Georgia, placing him under intense financial pressure.  

Records later showed he cleared a major portion of that burden, paying about $1.5 million in federal taxes, though he still had roughly $778,000 in remaining liabilities.  

Cardi B publicly pushed back against the demands, noting that she wished Offset would suffer and die a “slow death.”

After earning $1.3 billion with the 2023 blockbuster The Super Mario Bros. Movie, hopes were high that the world’s favorite pair of animated Italian plumbers could return with another huge hit this past weekend. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which made its big box office splash on April 1, has done exactly that, scoring the highest-grossing opening weekend of 2026 so far with an enormous $372 million worldwide, split between a domestic haul of $190 million and a further $182 million from overseas markets.

This opening haul will come as no surprise to most, given the huge success of the first installment and the global phenomenon that is the original Nintendo video game series. Add to this a voice cast that delivered a host of returning favorites in Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, and Jack Black, alongside franchise newcomers Glen Powell, Brie Larson, and Donald Glover, and a recipe for financial success is born. Far from his familiar Mushroom Kingdom, the new movie follows Mario as he joins Peach and Luigi on an adventure spanning the cosmos.

In its instant rise to the top of the box office charts, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has overcome the dominant Spring force of the Ryan Gosling-led sci-fi flick Project Hail Mary, which is already an early contender for Academy Awards success in 2027. Based on the bestselling book by Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary had first held the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend of the year before that total was smashed by the Mario sequel.

‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Has Already Crushed a Despised Video Game Adaptation

Image via Universal Pictures

Both Project Hail Mary and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie can be pleased with their success despite being competitors, something that couldn’t be said in 2024 for the video game adaptation Borderlands. Led by Oscar-winners Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis, Borderlands finally arrived following almost a decade in development hell. However, it likely now wishes it had stayed there, with its lifetime gross of just $33 million marking an enormous disappointment, especially considering it was against a reported budget of $120 million. In just a few days, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has already earned more than ten times this total, showcasing both ends of the video game adaptation spectrum of success.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is available in theaters now. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Blake Lively offered a glimpse into her family life over the weekend, sharing a quiet Easter moment with her children as her legal case tied to “It Ends with Us” continues to unfold. The 38-year-old actress took to Instagram Stories on Sunday to post a lighthearted snapshot of bunny-shaped scrambled eggs she prepared for her kids. Alongside the image, Lively wrote, “Momming always continues on,” adding a string of heart and bunny emojis. Lively, who shares four children with husband Ryan Reynolds, appeared to be embracing the holiday at home just days after a major development in her legal dispute with co-star Justin Baldoni.

Blake Lively’s Case Against Justin Baldoni Narrowed Ahead Of Trial

Last week, Manhattan U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman dismissed the majority of claims Lively had filed against Baldoni, including allegations related to conspiracy and defamation.

Of the original 13 claims, three remain active as the case moves toward a tentative May 18 trial date: retaliation, aiding and abetting retaliation, and breach of contract. The ruling significantly narrowed the scope of the case but allows its central arguments to proceed in court.

Lively’s Lawyer Speaks Out After Claims Dismissed

Following the decision, attorney Sigrid McCawley emphasized that the case remains focused on retaliation and reputational harm. “This case has always been and will remain focused on the devastating retaliation and the extraordinary steps the defendants took to destroy Blake Lively’s reputation,” McCawley said in a statement.

She further argued that Lively was targeted for advocating for safety on set, adding that the upcoming trial will continue to examine what she described as coordinated online attacks.

McCawley also addressed the dismissal of the sexual harassment claims, explaining that the court’s decision was tied to Lively’s classification as an independent contractor rather than an employee, not a determination of wrongdoing.

Blake Lively Says She’s Ready To Tell Her Story In Court

In a statement shared to social media on Friday, Lively expressed gratitude that the case will move forward in part, saying she is prepared to present her experience in full. “I am grateful for the court’s ruling, which allows the heart of my case to be presented to a jury next month,” she wrote, adding that she hopes to speak not only for herself but for others who may not have the same opportunity.

The actress acknowledged she never intended to pursue legal action but felt compelled to do so after what she described as ongoing retaliation tied to her requests for a safer working environment. “The last thing I wanted in my life was a lawsuit,” she said, “but I brought this case because of the pervasive retaliation I faced… for asking for a safe working environment for myself and others.”

She also noted that, regardless of the trial’s outcome, she hopes the case contributes to broader conversations around workplace safety and accountability.

Justin Baldoni’s Legal Team Praises Court’s Decision

Attorneys for Baldoni, Alexandra Shapiro, and Jonathan Bach welcomed the court’s decision, particularly the dismissal of the sexual harassment allegations and claims against individual defendants. “These were very serious allegations, and we are grateful to the court for its careful review of the facts, law, and voluminous evidence,” they said in a statement.

They added that the case is now “significantly narrowed” and expressed confidence in presenting their defense as the remaining claims head to trial.

Taylor Swift Reportedly ‘Relieved’ As Case Takes Turn

Sources close to Taylor Swift say the pop superstar is quietly breathing a sigh of relief following the latest development in Blake Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

According to insiders who spoke with journalist Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop, Swift views the court’s decision as a meaningful shift, one that could signal the beginning of the end. “It’s a huge relief,” one source said. “This case just got dramatically weaker.”

The insider also suggested there is confusion surrounding Lively’s next steps. “No one understands why Blake isn’t trying to settle,” they claimed. “From the outside, it looks like she’s already lost.”

Beyond the legal implications, timing appears to be a key concern for Swift. As her reported summer wedding to Travis Kelce approaches, sources say the singer is eager to distance herself from the situation altogether. “She wants this wrapped up before her summer wedding,” the insider added. “The timing couldn’t be worse.”

Even though Anna Duggar’s seemingly picture perfect life in Arkansas was turned upside down after her husband Josh Duggar was found guilty of child pornography, she has stuck by the sex offender’s side since his conviction nearly five years ago despite her family’s objections, Us Weekly has learned exclusively.

“Anna has several family members who have strongly encouraged her to leave Josh,” a source tells Us Weekly. “It has been very difficult to have those conversations because Anna has always been so supportive of Josh, but the family felt that they had to let her know their thoughts.”

The insider notes that Anna’s loved ones “do not want to lose their relationship with her, so they try to let her know what they think while also remaining supportive family members.”

Her family’s disapproval is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Anna has endured since Josh’s 2021 conviction.

“It is a nightmare for Anna that she will be dealing with for many, many years to come,” the source says of the scandal’s aftermath. “The only positive thing right now is that he is out of the picture [while in jail].”

Anna — who shares children Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus, Meredith, Mason, Maryella and Madyson with her 38-year-old husband— is trying to focus on the positives in her life while Josh serves more than 12 years in prison.

“Anna has worked very, very hard to get to where she is right now,” the insider explains. “She is not living with the Duggars and has begun to set up her own life.” (Anna, 37, was reportedly living on the Duggar compound in Arkansas as recently as last year.)

As Anna has distanced herself from the Duggars, she is “becoming independent and gaining strength,” the source tells Us.

“She has worked very hard to be strong and to stay out of the news and rebuild her life to a degree,” the insider adds.

Unlike many of her in-laws, Anna does not have her own personal social media account, helping to keep her life as far away from the spotlight as possible.

Anna does, however, periodically post on her dog breeding business Instagram account, Golden Grove Pups.

Anna Duggar made a rare public outing as her husband, Josh Duggar, continues to serve jail time. Anna, 36, was spotted attending a community event in Arkansas on Tuesday, December 10, per photos obtained by The U.S. Sun on Friday, December 13. The former TV personality was seen breaking traditional Duggar family clothing rules in […]

“Meet Whitaker, Beaumont, and Harrington — three of our handsome little golden guys 🐶💛,” Anna wrote via Instagram in February, showing a video of three puppies that had been adopted and giving fans a rare glimpse at herself in the process.

As fans of 19 Kids and Counting and its spinoff, Counting On, know, Anna married Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s eldest child, Josh, in 2008.

The couple went on to welcome six children, before their idyllic looking life came crashing down in spring 2021. (Anna and Josh’s seventh baby was born in November 2021, just months after his arrest.)

Josh was arrested in April 2021 for receiving and possessing child pornography. While Josh has maintained his innocence, he was found guilty in December of that same year and sentenced in May 2022 to 151 months in prison. He’s scheduled to be released on December 23, 2032.

“[Anna and Josh’s kids] are her No. 1 priority and that will never change,” a source exclusively told Us in June 2022 following his conviction. “She’s with them all the time. She’s going to stand by her husband and she’s going to continue raising their kids to the best of her ability.”

Although Anna has stayed silent about her husband’s arrest and prison sentence, emails she sent her brother-in-law Joseph Duggar last month following his arrest for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old girl in 2020 offer a look into how she’s feeling about the latest Duggar scandal.

Zendaya is currently experiencing one of the busiest years of her career. Not only is she starring in A24’s critically acclaimed “The Drama” alongside Robert Pattinson, but her HBO series, “Euphoria”, is set to return following a years-long hiatus. Now, the actress is opening up about the show, saying she thinks this may be the final season.

Zendaya Thinks ‘Euphoria’ Is Ending After Season 3

Zendaya appeared on “The Drew Barrymore Show” on April 6 to promote “The Drama” and her several other projects. During the discussion, host Drew Barrymore mentioned “Euphoria” and asked if the upcoming third season would be the final outing for the HBO drama series.

Zendaya responded, “I think so, yeah.” Barrymore then said, “I never want to ask questions like that, because it’s not my business, and yet, is this to be enjoyed knowing [it will end]?”

After that, Zendaya stated, “Yes, I think so,” before saying, “That closure is coming.” So far, HBO has neither confirmed nor denied that “Euphoria” will end after season three.

HBO Announced The Third Season In 2025

Season three of “Euphoria” has been highly anticipated, as it’s been four years since the second installment. HBO announced in December 2025 that the show would finally return on April 12. After that, the network released full-length trailers in March, following a series of teasers.

According to Variety, this season will feature a time jump, giving a look at the characters as they navigate adult life. In addition to Zendaya, the ensemble cast includesJacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Colman Domingo, and more.

Fans Are Reacting To The Possible End Of ‘Euphoria’

As mentioned, there is no official confirmation that “Euphoria” will end with season three, despite Zendaya’s public comments. However, fans of the show are reacting, with many saying they already believed this would be the show’s final season before Zendaya’s “Drew Barrymore Show” appearance.

One person said on X, “HBO staying silent is classic corporate chess — they get the viral speculation for free while keeping the door cracked for spin-offs, movies, whatever prints money later. Smart, but it also feels like they know the lightning-in-a-bottle era is over.”

They continued, “Look, Euphoria changed television. It made us feel uncomfortable on purpose, launched half the young cast into superstardom, and gave Zendaya the kind of role most actors wait a lifetime for. But dragging it past this season risks turning it into the show that used to be great.”

Another “Euphoria” fan said, “Zendaya saying ‘I think so’ for Euphoria… yeah, that sounds like the end is near.” Lastly, someone else wrote, “lowkey gutted that season 3 is the last of ‘Euphoria.’”

Zendaya’s ‘The Drama’ Has Solid Reviews Despite Controversy

One of Zendaya’s several projects released in 2026 was “The Drama,” which arrived in movie theaters on April 3. According to BoxOfficeMojo, the movie debuted at number three in the US, making $14,380,197. “The Drama” came in behind “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” and “Project Hail Mary” in the number one and two positions, respectively.

Regarding reviews, “The Drama” currently has a 77% rating from critics and an 81% rating from audiences, making it “certified fresh” with both. This is despite TMZ having revealed the controversial twist of the movie, which is that Zendaya’s character once considered going through with a school shooting.

Because of the film’s subject matter, some critics vowed not to review it, and it also drew attention from various gun violence prevention organizations, such as March For Our Lives, according to IndieWire.

The ‘Euphoria’ Star Says She’s Taking A Break

As mentioned, 2026 will be among the busiest 12 months of Zendaya’s stellar career. This is evidenced by the fact that she will have five projects released to the work before the end of the year. Following “The Drama” and “Euphoria,” she will appear in “The Odyssey” and “Spiderman: Brand New Day,” both of which are releasing in July.

After that, Zendaya will star in “Dune: Part Three,” in which her “The Drama “co-star Pattinson will also appear.

Regarding her busy schedule, Zendaya told Fandango in March 2026 that she would take a break after this year. She said, “I guess, you know, I just hope people don’t get sick of me. I really appreciate everyone who supports any of the movies or who supports my career in any kind of way.”

Zendaya went on, “I’m deeply appreciative, and like I said, I just hope you guys don’t get sick of me this year because I’ll tell you what: after this, I’m disappearing for a little bit. I’m going to have to go into hiding for just a little bit.”

“Euphoria” premieres on HBO and HBO Max on April 12.
