Unlike the first two seasons of Euphoria, Zendaya is not an EP on season 3. Vanity Fair cites scheduling conflicts and tension with creator Sam Levinson as the reason.
It sounds like that this being the last season is a blessing. (Unconfirmed but likely considering how long it took to do this season.)

I strongly suspect Zendaya has enough pull that no one was going to refuse her a producing credit no matter how little she was actually involved in producing it, if she doesn’t have one, it’s because she didn’t want one.
Probably because she knows the tide has turned on this show and people are now viewing it as one man’s creepy sex obsessed fantasy.

Zendaya should’ve just said no and moved on to better things

If I was her I sure wouldn’t want my name to have anything to do with this season beyond acting, I have a feeling that not being an EP will be a blessing for Zendaya’s career rather than a hurdle

He sounds really disrespectful of every cast member’s schedule …

Have you guys seen the leaked pics of Sydney Sweeney from the first episodes? Sam Levinson is a straight up freak.
In one clip she’s jump roping, only thing she has on is short overalls. No under shirt. So the only thing covering her boobs are little straps as she jumps up and down. That’s it.
Another clip she’s dressed like a literal baby. With a pacifier.
Another clip she’s wearing a white top, no bra, boobs going everywhere
Last clip she’s dressed in a sexy cheetah outfit
I swear this man just thinks Sydney is hot and writes whatever he wants to see her do.

I hope people stop giving him money and projects. Let this be the final nail in the coffin of his reputation please

Prob for the best. I always thought that being an EP on that show could be a liability for her

i know the cast is trying to be professional but i know they’re pissed having to wait 2 years after s2 to finally get scripts. and during that wait having to be careful when to do other side work. it’s disrespectful of their time especially since he decided to throw in another show to create during all that
also i don’t think z not have producers credit has anything to do with her availability, she was probably just shut out

Imagine putting your biggest hit on hold to go make… The Idol.

Sam Levinson is of course the nepo baby of Barry Levinson. All three of his feature films have flopped badly, yet that didn’t stop him from getting to make this series—based on someone else’s TV series. Nice work if you can get it.

I watched the first two seasons, LOVED that intro to season 2 with the grandma, but after how long it took to come out with season 3, the deaths of multiple cast members, and all this Sydney Sweeney drama in news the last year, I really only wanted to watch the new season for zendaya. Now you’re all telling me it’s basically a Sydney Sweeney naked and in weird costumes and scenes that this levinson guy clearly is using as the entire basis of the show, ehhhh I was waiting for season 3 for a long time; but think I’ll skip. My mental health will prob thank me.

She said “Whatever y’all watching, it’s not me. I don’t have any input in it. I’m just an actor in it. I clock in, act my a** off and clock out on time. Thank you”
i would not be surprised if he had some really awful shit planned for rue’s arc and zendaya just pushed back instead of letting him *literally* whore her character out like he seems to be doing with everyone else’s
I remember that Sam’s camp had been trying to blame her and her schedule for the delay before she subtly responded that no, it wasn’t on her. I mean we saw from late 2024 to late 2025 that she was able to shoot 4 movies and his stupid show in one year while he takes 8 to 9 months to film a season because his ego is too big to get help writing the scripts

Sam Levinson’s a proper prick isn’t he

The Weeknd really persuaded Sam to work on The Idol because he didn’t like what Amy was doing and The Idol was terrible. He also wasted Trey Edward Shults time with Hurry Up Tomorrow because he cannot act his way out of a paper bag. Abel, please stay the hell away from acting forever!

Sam Lev is like a character from his own show. Burning bridges, fucking people over, misogyny, etc…

“I literally had to go to Sam’s house on the weekend to help motivate him to write a scene that we were going to shoot that week.” – Zendaya back in 2022 talking about S2 ([x](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/zendaya-euphoria-episode-challenges-season-3-emmys-1235195757/))
