Save This Sci-Fi: 8 Movies And Shows Being Erased From Existence
By Joshua Tyler

The age of streaming has, in theory, been a boon for older content, which is suddenly available for everyone to watch in a way it never has been before. That’s how it looks on paper, but the reality is that streaming platforms only stream content they think they can make money off of, and sometimes, the rest isn’t worth their time.
That wouldn’t be a problem if physical media were still a viable format, but fewer than 50% of households still have access to a Blu-ray player, and as a result, Hollywood has stopped supporting it. Odds are, if you’re looking for something old, it’s out of print, and you’ll be forced to dig through boxes at garage sales hoping to find a diamond in the rough.
For certain content, this won’t be a problem. Obviously, a version of an iconic movie like Back to the Future will always be available to watch. Other sci-fi, though, hasn’t been as lucky, and some of it is on the verge of being erased from existence altogether.
These are the eight sci-fi movies and television shows most in danger of being deleted from reality, ranked in order by which I believe is the most in danger of vanishing forever.
8. Buck Rogers
Released in 1979 first as a movie and then as a series, Buck Rogers was based on characters created in 1928 by science fiction writer Philip Francis Nowlan. For two seasons, it followed its title character half a millennium after he was accidentally frozen.
Revived 504 years later, Buck Rogers tries comically to adjust to the social changes of the future, all while helping the Earth Defense Directorate fend off warring factions from the planet Draconian. Along the way, he befriends a robot and the hottest babe in the future, one Wilma Deering, played by the iconic Erin Grey.
Buck Rogers is the kind of show that should be getting endless rewatching by old and new fans alike, but no one can do that. For a brief time, it was available to stream on Peacock, but the show was yanked without explanation and hasn’t come back. The cause could be a lengthy legal battle over the rights, but that has since been settled, which makes the situation strange.
Whatever the reason, you can’t watch it on streaming services, and while older physical media copies can be found online, they’re often only available at very high prices. Buck Rogers is a major media property, and Hollywood always seems on the verge of resurrecting it, but if things continue the way they are, it’ll be forgotten long before they get around to it.
7. Cocoon
Cocoon asks: What would you do to be young again? At first, Cocoon is a laid-back movie about the residents of a retirement home. One day, they show up for a swim and see large rocks at the bottom of the pool.
The misery of old age begins to vanish. They regain their health. They start dancing.
In parallel, there’s 1980s icon Steve Gutenberg taking a group of nice people out on his character boat. Out at sea and lusting after the female member of their group, Guttenberg accidentally stumbles into the truth: they’re aliens, and those rocks they’ve been bringing up from the ocean floor are alien pods.
Despite being one of the biggest and most acclaimed movies of the 1980s, Cocoon is not available to stream anywhere, and it’s out of print on DVD. Why? The movie’s director, Ron Howard, has been asked, but refuses to answer.
Basically, blame the estate of the film’s composer, James Horner. The way Horner’s contract was negotiated may have been odd compared to the other movies he worked on. That likely turned into an even bigger problem when, sadly, James Horner died in 2015 at the age of 61, and now there’s confusion over who owns his work in Cocoon.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no movement at all to rescue this movie and bring it back to the public. It was last released on DVD more than 20 years ago and has been out of print on all physical media for a long time. Copies of Cocoon have become so rare that eBay sellers are now charging significant money for them.
6. Space Above and Beyond
Space: Above and Beyond tried to do something different from all the rest: it was first and foremost a military series. Centered on a group of fighter pilots, the prime directive of the series was to find bugs, kill bugs, and make it home in one piece. Space: Above and Beyond aired on Fox, which means that you, the discerning sci-fi fan, know exactly what happened to ensure that the series never received a second season
Today, you can’t find Space: Above and Beyond on any streaming network, not even through Video on Demand. There are bootleg copies available on YouTube, but those will likely only last until the IP’s current owners do their next copyright sweep.
You can find it on DVD, but it’s out of print, so you’ll pay a premium and maybe have to look for used copies. Worst of all, after their buyout, Disney owns it, and they’re unlikely to care at all about a one-season show that was canceled decades before they owned the company.
5. The Lone Gunmen
The Lone Gunmen was an X-Files spinoff from the mind of Breaking Bad and Pluribus creator Vince Gilligan. The show revolves around the titular trio, the show is named for, as they get in over their heads in various conspiracies.
Unfortunately, it proved to be too good at predicting the future. The pilot episode of The Lone Gunmen involved a plot where rogue government agents try to pilot a major airliner into the World Trade Center and make it look like a terrorist attack. Further, the episode’s revelation that secret government forces merely wanted to use terrorists as scapegoats echoes many real-world conspiracy theories about the role that George W. Bush or other powerful government forces may have had in the attack on the Twin Towers.
That was enough to get it canceled, despite good reviews and decent ratings. It’s also enough to make sure that no one will ever be able to watch it again. It’s not available on legitimate streaming services, and DVD copies are long out of print.
4. Time Trax
Time Trax aired on television from 1993 to 1994 as part of the iconic, syndicated television “action pack.” In it, criminals from the year 2193 use a time machine called a Trax to go back to the past of a parallel universe. Police Captain Darien Lambert, played by Dale Midkiff, goes off in pursuit, aided by SELMA (Specified Encapsulated Limitless Memory Archive), his version of Al, and he can’t return until all of them have been apprehended.
What Time Trax did differently was to make the future humans superior, ranging from higher IQs and rapid memorization to the ability to move faster and, in what were frequently the best shots of the series, the ability to perceive time faster, giving the appearance of slowing down time around them. Time Trax was delightfully charming in the same way as other 90s syndicated hits like Hercules and Xena. And now it’s being erased from existence.
You can’t find it on streaming anywhere, and physical media copies, while available, are all basically used since it hasn’t been in print since 2012, when it was released on DVD. That means the cost to get a copy is rising rapidly.
The mess the show is in is caused by the tangled web of who owns the actual rights to it. Gary Nardino Productions developed Time Trax, while Lorimar helped get it to air. The problem is that Lorimar was bought by Warner Bros., while Paramount purchased Gary Nardino.
The rights to the series were split between two studios, and nothing has been done with Time Trax since. Given the short run of the series and its limited fanbase, it’s safe to assume that nothing ever will be done to preserve it, unless people start making noise about it.
3. Ernest Goes To Camp
Alright, I’m cheating a little on this one, because this is definitely not a sci-fi movie, though you could argue that the Ernest movie Jim Varney followed it up with, Ernest Goes To Jail, is. But Ernest Goes To Camp is a movie for the kinds of people who watch sci-fi, the geeks, the outcasts, the oddballs, and it’s being erased from existence.
The movie is a standard 80s summer camp film, following a group of outcast kids, the Second Chancers, as they attend Kamp Kikakee, a struggling summer camp run by Chief St. Cloud, a Plains Indian. It’s the usual outcasts vs. evil industrialist plot, as Sherman Krader wants to shut down the camp and mine its resources. It’s elevated to instant classic levels thanks to Varney’s portrayal of Ernest as the camp’s maintenance man.
Unfortunately, Ernest Goes to Camp has become a victim of cancel culture. Worst of all, neither Jim Varney nor the Ernest character did anything wrong.
The problem is an actor named Iron Eyes Cody, who plays a minor role as a Native American in the movie. His real name was Espera Oscar de Coti, and he was actually Italian. No one knew that Cody was a fraud when Ernest Goes to Camp was made. He fooled everyone, including his close friend Walt Disney.
Embarrassed by their founder’s faux pau Disney now classifies it as a racist movie, alongside other past productions like Song of the South. They’re determined to make sure it’s erased from existence. You won’t find it on streaming, and physical media copies are long since out of print. Disney has no intention of ever making it available again.
2. Harrison Bergeron
In 1995, Showtime adapted a Kurt Vonnegut short story into a TV movie called Harrison Bergeron. Harrison (played by Samwise Gamgee himself, Sean Astin) is still an abnormally bright kid, but when he is taken away by the government in the movie, it’s under the pretext of being given a lobotomy. In reality, Harrison’s been selected to join the secret organization that actually runs the world.
Harrison decides to work in the government’s television division and eventually plans a variation on the short story. He takes over the broadcast room and begins playing classic movies and music for the public that have been hidden away for generations.
It’s no secret masterpiece, but Harrison Bergeron is the kind of challenging sci-fi movie we shouldn’t leave in the dustbin. That’s looking like the case. As I write this, the movie is not available on any streaming or video-on-demand service, and it’s out of print on physical media
Worst of all, because it was a TV movie, and even though it was a really good one and a popular one, there’s no real urgency from Hollywood to preserve it or put money into it. They’re happy to let it rot. Without some sort of outcry, they probably will.
1. Misfits of Science
The sci-fi most in danger of being permanently deleted from existence? Misfits of Science. Misfits of Science was pure 80s with a sci-fi twist. A team of super-powered oddballs work for a think tank called the Humanidyne Institute, studying “human anomalies.”
Misfits of Science was lighthearted, funny, and packed with heart, perfect for kids dreaming of superpowers. It’s Ghostbusters meets The A-Team, with madcap energy and zero budget for subtlety.
Misfits of Science lingered in pop culture for years after its disappearance, but now it’s gone. You can’t watch Misfits of Science legally anywhere in the US. It’s not available anywhere on streaming, and definitely not legally. And because it was a failed TV show, good luck finding it on physical media.
You’d think NBC would throw it on Peacock, because, why not? But no, the show isn’t there. Some episodes pop up on YouTube, bootleg-style, but that’s not a dependable way to watch it.
Why? The theme song may be a cause. The show’s theme song is one of the all-time best opening credits numbers, and it seems to be mired in extreme levels of copyright policing. Try playing a few seconds from it on YouTube, and you’ll see what I mean.
That song, “Feels Like Science”, was performed by Karen Lawrence and composed by the great Basil Poledouris, the genius behind the score of movies like Robocop and Conan the Barbarian. Work like his often ends up locked in studio copyright vaults, and that may be part of the problem with Misfits. It just isn’t worth the trouble to sort all that out.
Protecting the rights of musicians and creators is important, and I support it. But it’s not so important that it’s worth erasing a vital piece of cultural history in the name of it. Far too many of the shows and movies on this list are being forgotten, simply because someone who owns the music rights has an inflated sense of their own importance.
Cultural Preservation Trumps Copyright
Does refusing to let NBC stream Misfits of Science unless they pay big fees help the estate of Basil Pouleoris? No, it only helps people forget about his music and everything he was ever involved in.
You know what would help? Letting people hear his music.
That’s the answer for most of these. There’s no real money left to be made here, but there is a history worth preserving. Let people preserve it by lifting copyright restrictions and allowing fans to upload copies on YouTube.

What Do You Think Roomies?
After The Vampires Diaries premiered on The CW, fans quickly found themselves invested not only in the romantic relationships explored on the show, but also the ones in real life.
Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, who portrayed love interests Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore, respectively, sparked a romance in 2010 and continued to date for three years. One year after their split, Somerhalder moved on with Nikki Reed.
During Dobrev’s relationship with Shaun White, which ended in 2025, the Olympic snowboarder started to watch her hit series. “There’s a lot of episodes. Not that I was mad about it, but I didn’t realize, like, how deep I was going to go,” he exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2021.

Steve Madden’s latest collection is making a splash. After nearly four decades of dominating the shoe and accessory categories, the brand is diving headfirst into swim. The company’s expansion is being introduced as part of its ‘Hello Spring’ campaign for 2026, and the line can be found at a few surprising places — like Amazon.
Steve Madden’s first swimwear collection includes bikinis, one-pieces and statement cover-ups, just to name a few. It’s a trend-driven collection, with silhouettes that put fashion at the forefront yet remain functional for beach-goers and poolside loungers who enjoy a refreshing dip. Find flattering, comfortable and stylish swim and resort wear finds, starting at just $48 now.
13 Steve Madden Swimwear Pieces That Just Dropped
1. Not-So Basic: Everyone should have a little black swimsuit in their collection, and this Steve Madden pick is an elevated version of the basic one-piece. With stylistic details like a tie back and gold chain strap accents, this suit will be one you reach for again and again.
2. Trendy Tankini: If your swimsuit style lies somewhere between a skin-baring bikini and conservative one-piece, tankinis are a happy medium. This trendy two-piece features a polka dot design, delicate bowtie details and a strappy back that actually offers adjustable support.
3. Tie Top: We love options, and this tie-front tankini is another choice we’re eyeing. It’s a sexy alternative to the polka dot top, with a crochet texture for a not-so-subtle pop of skin.
4. Animal Print: Animal prints are always a ‘yes,’ and this leopard design is no exception. Rather than a typical scoop, the one-piece features a square neckline, plus a low back to highlight your silhouette.
5. A Mesh Moment: Mesh cover-ups are playful and sexy, but they don’t steal the spotlight from the main attraction: your swimsuit. We love cover-up separates, too, and these mesh flare pants are at a top spot on our wishlist.
Spring break is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with pieces that feel fun and vacation-ready. Luckily, Amazon’s Spring Break Style section is packed with stylish finds that make packing for a sunny getaway surprisingly easy. Choose from breezy dresses and lightweight sets to sandals and beach accessories that instantly pull a look together. […]
6. Festival Fringe: Festival season is looming. If you don’t have your looks lined up yet, consider this playful halter that has fringe accents and elevated gold hardware. If it gets too hot, you don’t have to change since this pick is first and foremost a swimsuit — the going-out top aesthetic is just a bonus.
7. Mixed Media: A lot is going on for this one-piece, but it all works. The primary polka dot design is enhanced with pearl accents running down the sides of the suit, fastening the material together in spurts to create sexy cutouts.
8. Bandeau Top: Steve Madden was founded in 1990, so it’s only natural that the brand would give a subtle nod to the early aughts in its swimwear collection. The scarf bandeau top isn’t exactly a bandana kerchief, but the quiet reference stands, and we’re here for it.
9. Statement Bottoms: Bikini bottoms can sometimes be an afterthought if your main focus is finding a cute top. However, this strap side bikini bottom caught our eye immediately. The gold double ring accent elevates the trim and the fun floral pattern gives off groovy ’70s vibes. Bonus: There’s a top to match with the same stunning hardware for even more eye candy.
10. Elevated Staple: You can’t go wrong with a simple bralette style. Just in case you’re looking for a slightly more elevated staple, this on-sale version features a gold ring accent at the front that adds depth to the look.
11. One-Shoulder: This one-piece is stunning and oh-so sexy with an open back design, cheeky bottoms and a single shoulder strap. We love it in black, but the suit also comes in a gorgeous floral design.
12. Something Strapless: As far as we’re concerned, the less material touching our skin in the summer, the better, which is why we were immediately drawn to this cutout bandeau bikini top. It comes in several patterns and color, all of which feature gold bead accents that feel like jewelry.
13. Surprise Skirt: When we think of cover-ups, mini skirts don’t typically come to mind. However, now that Steve Madden has brought the option to our attention, we’re sold on the idea. The designer’s take is another mesh moment, and features adjustable ruching so you can decide just how short of a hemline you want.

The “Piano Man” announced in May 2025 that he had been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus.
If you’re looking for excitement, this Tom Hardy movie is the right film to stream.
By Robert Scucci
| Published
These days, Tom Hardy is most well known for his portrayal of Eddie Bock, and his symbiote-suited alter-ego, Venom. Science-fiction superhero flicks aside, it’s worth noting that Hardy also starred in 2017’s Dunkirk, written and directed by Christopher Nolan, and is considered to be one of the greatest war films of all time. Dunkirk is celebrated for its extensive use of practical effects, excellent sound design, film scoring, editing, and cinematography.
The Movie Is Louder Than The Battle That Inspired It
The World War II film is set in 1940, and it depicts the evacuation of over 300,000 men during the Battle of Dunkirk. Though this Tom Hardy film has received high praise from actual Dunkirk veterans, there were of course some creative liberties taken by Christopher Nolan to translate the historical events into a cohesive piece of cinema.
One such liberty was the overall intensity of the movie, which Kenneth Branagh (Commander Bolton) reported that some veterans suggested the movie was “louder than the battle.”
Writing 101: Showing Without Telling
One difference between Dunkirk and its contemporaries is the film’s sparse use of dialogue. Christopher Nolan truly wanted to focus on the intensity of the evacuation and drew inspiration from silent movies like Erich von Stroheim’s Greed, D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance: Love’s Struggle Throughout the Ages, and F.W. Murnau’s Sunrise.
If you’re looking for some great Tom Hardy one-liners, you won’t find them in Dunkirk, but you won’t feel cheated after you see the scope of the action sequences either.
Tom Hardy only has about 10 lines of dialogue in Dunkirk. What’s presented instead is such a visceral depiction of war that it quickly becomes apparent why Christopher Nolan decided to write a screenplay that was only 76 pages long. Nolan has gone on record stating that he didn’t want to go into the war-room politics or detailed character backstories because he felt that these story-telling mechanisms would take away from the singular moment in history he was trying to capture.
Dunkirk received universal acclaim upon its release and currently boasts a 92 percent critical score.
When you consider the thousands of extras that were employed Dunkirk’s production, as well as the use of historical boats and spitfire planes that were used to produce this war epic, it’s clear that Christopher Nolan wanted to make a film that had a sense of urgency.
By Land, Sea, And Air
To add to this notion of immediacy, Dunkirk is told from three perspectives: land, sea, and air. And it’s evident that Tom Hardy was up for the task with his portrayal of his Farrier character, who says very little, but carries the story through his brave and selfless actions as he assists in the evacuation, not knowing whether he’ll be able to fly back to England safely or crash-land.
A common storytelling mechanism in war films is the use of the composite character, and Hardy’s character gets this treatment. Though Farrier is not directly based on an actual pilot, inspiration was drawn from the real-life evacuation.
Sources indicate that Farrier’s experience closely mirrors the story of Alan Christopher “Al” Deere, a New Zealand Spitfire pilot who had a similar crash landing, and it’s likely that Hardy’s character was based on a few soldiers that actually existed rather than just one person.
What’s most impressive about Dunkirk is its relatively short run-time of 106 minutes. When you think about the multiple point-of-view treatment that the film encapsulates, it’s safe to say that not a single minute of run-time is wasted thanks Dunkirk’s visual storytelling.
Dunkirk Has Incredible Sound Design
If the promise of stunning visuals and action sequences isn’t enough for you, then the film score for Dunkirk will surely keep you at the edge of your seat. Hans Zimmer penned the score and leaned heavily into the use of Risset rhythms, which are used to create the illusion of an ever-increasing tempo, which naturally adds a healthy amount of suspense to the more tense scenes.
Zimmer also sampled and synthesized Christopher Nolan’s pocket watch, which could be subtly heard when Tom Hardy’s Farrier is trying to assess how much fuel he has left in his plane before attempting a landing.
A Critically Acclaimed Cinematic Masterpiece
Dunkirk received universal acclaim upon its release and currently boasts a 92 percent critical score on Rotten Tomatoes. Not only are Tom Hardy, Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-CaWarney, and Aneurin Barnard praised for their collective ability to convey emotion through the use of very little dialogue, the film itself is praised for its overall intensity and gripping cinematography. What’s more, Dunkirk raked in $527 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing World War II film to date.
Though Tom Hardy didn’t take home any Academy Awards for his performance in Dunkirk, the film was nominated for eight, taking home three for Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Film Editing. If you want to see Dunkirk in all of its glory, it can be rented or purchased on demand through Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home, YouTube, and Apple TV+.
Lil Nas X’s legal team is looking to have his felony police battery case handled through a diversion program. Roommates, if you remember, police arrested the rapper in August 2025 after he walked through the streets of Los Angeles wearing only underwear and boots before going completely naked.

Lil Nas X’s Lawyer Aims To Resolve His Felony Case Through Diversion
On Thursday, March 12, Lil Nas appeared in court in Van Nuys, California alongside his lawyer, Christy O’Connor. O’Connor asked the judge for a short delay so she could file a motion to move his case into an unspecified diversion program, according to Rolling Stone. PEOPLE also reports that the judge set the next court date for April 6. As Nas’ legal team continues its efforts, he also spoke with reporters outside the courthouse. The 26-year-old singer told fans he misses them and appreciates their support.
“All I wanted to say is to my fans, I really love and I miss you, and I appreciate your support so much, and I can’t wait to be back hugging you guys,” Nas said outside the courthouse.
Lil Nas’ Attorney Emphasizes His Clean Record Prior To Los Angeles Incident
This isn’t the first time Lil Nas X’s attorney spoke up. In August 2025, Christy O’Connor spoke during his court arraignment and told a judge that the singer has led a “remarkable life,” including winning two Grammy Awards. She also that he has never portrayed any inappropriate behavior in his life.
“Assuming the allegations here are true, this is an absolute aberration in this person’s life. Nothing like this has ever happened to him,” O’Connor said in court, per NBC.
Singer Pleads Not Guilty Following Viral L.A. Incident
In August 2025, a viral video showed Lil Nas X walking naked on Ventura Boulevard. At the time, officers said Lil Nas X charged at them when they confronted him, so they decided to arrest him on the spot. After his arrest, police suspected that he might have overdosed. Then, they took him to a hospital, where he spent several hours before officials transported him to jail.
Nas later appeared in court and pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors charged him with three counts of battery causing injury to a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer. After spending three days in jail, Nas was released on a $75,000 bail. If a jury convicts him on those charges, he could face more than 10 years in prison. The ‘Old Town Road’ hitmaker spoke out afterwards in a video saying, “Your girl is going to be okay.” He also said that whole situation was terrifying him. “That was terrifying…that was a terrifying last four days, but your girl is gon be alright,” Nas shared.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Authorities now believe an Alabama family missing for more than a month is dead after finding three bodies buried in a town about 50 miles away.
The bodies suspected to be Aurelia Choc Cac and her two children, Niurika Zuleta Choc and Anthony Garcia Choc, were found in Summerdale in Baldwin County the afternoon of Wednesday, March 11, the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office said in a Thursday, March 12, Facebook post.
The discovery comes after a man, Hector Gamaliel Argueta-Guerra, was arrested on three counts of kidnapping in connection with their disappearance, according to authorities, Us Weekly previously reported.
Aurelia, 40, Niurka, 17, and Anthony, 2, went missing from their home in Theodore on January 30, according to the sheriff’s office. Theodore is about a 50-mile drive west from Summerdale, where the bodies were located on March 11.
“Signs of a struggle” were found at their home, the sheriff’s office said in an earlier news release.
A man accused of attacking his girlfriend with a shovel and a knife, killing her before fatally stabbing her 4-year-old daughter, has been sentenced to death in Florida, according to court records viewed by Us Weekly. In October 2025, a Hillsborough County jury found Angel Gabriel Cuz Choc guilty of first-degree murder in connection with […]
On March 12, the sheriff’s office announced Argueta-Guerra has been additionally charged with one count of capital murder under 14 years, one count of obstructing justice using a false identity, three counts of abuse of a corpse, three counts of capital murder/burglary, three counts of capital murder/kidnapping, and one count of capital murder of two or more people.
“Our prayers are with the family and friends of those who knew Aurelia, her daughter Niurka, and her two year old son, Anthony,” the sheriff’s office said. “Hector, you are a sick person to do what you did to this family and we know if convicted, you will never see the outside world again.”
Information on Argueta-Guerra’s legal representation was not immediately available.
Investigators are working to identify the bodies, according to authorities.
At a March 12 news conference, Paul Burch said the sizes of the bodies were “consistent” with the three Choc family members.
“This is a horrific and gruesome murder,” Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood said, before declaring, “The state will seek the death penalty in this case.”
A potential motive for the alleged murders was not specified by authorities.
When Burch was asked about a possible motive, he said “What motive would there be for killing a two-year-old?”
The FBI had previously offered a $15,000 reward for any information that might lead to the location of Aurelia and her children.
Argueta-Guerra is from El Salvador, where he allegedly has a violent criminal history, authorities previously said at a February 24 news conference, WKRG reported. He is an accused member of Los Surenos, a transnational gang with ties to El Salvador.

The comedian and novelist met at University College London in 1982 and have been together since.
The drama on the set of “Euphoria” seems to have spilled over into real life. Ahead of the season three premiere, a video was released featuring its major stars, but Sydney Sweeney was noticeably left out of it.
It comes amid her rumored “bitter” fallout with her co-star, Zendaya, who allegedly “refused to stand next to her” while they were on press calls for this series’ third season.
Meanwhile, fans took to social media to spell out how glaring Sydney Sweeney’s omission was following the controversies that plagued the actress in 2025.
Sydney Sweeney Absent From ‘Euphoria’ Group Photo
Sydney Sweeney is noticeably missing in a group photo that was part of a teaser for “Euphoria,” ahead of its season 3 premiere in April. The teen drama follows the life of a group of girlfriends and the routines they pick up while transitioning through adolescence, especially as it relates to sex.
Rumors of a “bitter feud” between the “Housemaid” actress and the lead star Zendaya previously surfaced, with a source claiming the latter didn’t even want to “stand next” to her in press tours for the new series.
Now, HBO released a new teaser for the series and captioned it, “Taking the smallest moments and dreaming them up into something bigger. #Euphoria.”
At the start of the clip, Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow can be seen all cozied up and affectionate with each other, but Sweeney was nowhere to be seen.
Fans Share Mixed Reactions To The Omission Of Sydney Sweeney From The Group Photo
Fans took to social media to point out the obvious omission, with many speculating it had something to do with their rivalry.
“Perioddd Sydney didn’t make the group photo,” a fan wrote, throwing in a crying emoji, while another said, “Notice how Sydney wasn’t in the group photo.”
Someone else said, “I’m not even mad about Sydney being excluded from the group photo, it’s Barbie I’m missing. BRING BACK KAT.”
“Sydney being too iconic to show up with these newgens omg,” another person speculated as to the cause of her absence.
“The fact that Sydney Sweeney isn’t with the girls has me,” someone wrote, while another added, “lmao Zendaya said NO promo with Sydney, and she meant it.”
One user said, “WTF? Euphoria S3 promo lookin’ fire but where tf is Sydney Sweeney?? They leavin’ her out on purpose or sum drama brewin’ with Zendaya [?]”
Politics Might Be The Factor Dividing The Actresses
A source told the Daily Mail that tensions between them on set reached fever pitch, and they don’t see eye to eye anymore because of their different political views.
Last year, Sweeney was discovered to be a registered Republican and received praise from President Donald Trump and other top MAGA supporters after she found herself at the center of a controversial ad for American Eagle, where many accused her of promoting white supremacy and eugenics.
On the other hand, Zendaya has voiced her disapproval of the billionaire politician, even posting “Vote this MF out” during the 2020 election.
“It’s no wonder she’s refusing to do it. If she even stands next to Sydney on the red carpet, it can be read as her excusing Sydney’s views,” a source told the news outlet.
Source Claims Zendaya Doesn’t ‘Trust’ Sydney Sweeney Around Tom Holland
Zendaya’s partner, Tom Holland, could also be a reason why the actresses are not on speaking terms, as a source revealed in January that she “doesn’t trust” Sweeney around him.
“Zendaya wasn’t thrilled when Tom and Sydney would strike up conversations during filming last year,” the source shared, per Star Magazine. “It feels unnecessary at best and disrespectful at worst, given that Sydney and Zendaya don’t get along and actively avoid each other.”
“Tom is naturally very friendly and chatty, so when he’s around, he makes an effort with everyone — that’s just who he is,” the insider continued. “Zendaya isn’t trying to tell him who he can talk to, but with Sydney, she doesn’t want someone who she doesn’t necessarily trust getting close to her fiancé.”
“In so many words, Zendaya has warned Sydney to stay away from Tom,” the source added, explaining that her romance with music exec Scooter Braun doesn’t change things. “Even though Zendaya trusts Tom completely, she doesn’t want any lines blurred. It’s about boundaries.”
The Third Season Of ‘Euphoria’ Comes With Several Twists
The trailer for season three of “Euphoria” was released in January, but many fans were not happy with the twist some of their favorite characters encountered, particularly Cassie, played by Sweeney, who is now addicted to social media and operating an OnlyFans account.
The new season, which features a five-year time jump, sees Cassie engaged to her high school sweetheart, Nate (Jacob Elordi), despite her being an OnlyFans model.
Zendaya’s character, Rue, struggles to pay off her debt owed to dealer Laurie and is on the run from drug dealers, and Maddy (Alexa Demie) is reportedly working at a Hollywood talent agency and is fed up with how every other girl she meets is a “sugar girl.”
On the other hand, Lexi (Maude Apatow) has become a professional and is reportedly working as an assistant to a high-powered television showrunner played by guest star Sharon Stone.
Speaking about the upcoming series, showrunner Sam Levinson promised that it would be “our best season yet.”
Explaining the time jump, he said, “Five years felt like a natural place because if they’d gone to college, they’d be out of college at that time,” per Variety. “We basically pick up Rue south of the border in Mexico, in debt to Laurie, trying to come up with some very innovative ways to pay it off.”
“Euphoria” season three is set to premiere on HBO and Max on April 12, 2026.
