<h3 style="text-align: center;">Zendaya&#8217;s Past Award Ceremony Wins &; Accolades</h3>

<p>If all those award wins weren&#8217;t enough for Zendaya&#8217;s role on <em>Euphoria</em>, the 26-year-old also made history as the &#8220;youngest person ever to receive an Emmy nomination for producing at the age of 25.&#8221; The star reportedly executive produced season 2 of the HBO series, as reported by <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/zendaya-euphoria-season-3-one-million-dollars-per-episode-salary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GQ</a>.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Zendaya&#8217;s Role As Rue &; What Fans May Be Able To Expect From Future Episodes</h3>
<p>Zendaya stars as Rue Bennett on <em>Euphoria</em>, &#8220;a tortured high-school student who grapples with substance abuse in the wake of her father’s death,&#8221; as per the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2023-02-27/zendaya-contract-hbo-euphoria-season-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Times</a>.

<p>In an interview with <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/zendaya-euphoria-episode-challenges-season-3-emmys-1235195757/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a>, Zendaya shared what she hopes to see from future episodes of the show.</p>
<blockquote><p>I think it’ll be exciting to explore the characters out of high school. I want to see what Rue looks like in her sobriety journey, how chaotic that might look. But also with all the characters, in the sense where they’re trying to figure out what to do with their lives when high school is over and what kind of people they want to be&#8230;</p></blockquote>
