During a stand-up set at the Hollywood Improv Lab in Los Angeles, King joked about when Euphoria will film again. “Season 3 is coming out. Don’t know. Don’t ask me. Don’t know. It’s one of those things,” King said in a video released via TikTok on Sunday March 3.
“People say, ‘We need season 3.’ I’m like, ‘Bitch, I need season 3. I haven’t paid my rent in six months. And Zendaya is in Paris during Fashion Week, I’m like, ‘Bitch, come home! I need you! Mommy needs you! ” King also captioned the video: ‘Please don’t ask me about s3 again.’
As the crowd laughed, King continued, “You laugh and I mean it. I haven’t booked anything since Euphoria, this is some bulls–t. I thought my career was on the rise. After Euphoria, I thought I was doing well. It doesn’t work that way. I called [Taraji P. Henson]she said, “Bitch, get used to it.”

“Performing with Zendaya and Storm Reid is like a masterclass,” King said exclusively We weekly in September 2022 about her costars. “They’re young and they’re bringing their best game, and I’m thinking ‘OK!’ I’m older – a little bit, a little bit older – but every day on set is a new day to be great, to be great.”
Zendaya attended Paris Fashion Week in January, but she can turn any red carpet into a runway. While promoting, she has turned heads with her style Dune: part twothat goes beyond 2021 Dune turn left, next to Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler Florence Pugh And Anya Taylor Joy.

“I don’t know. Do you know?” Elordi, 26, joked during a performance in January The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “I hope it’s soon, otherwise they’re going to have to call Benjamin Button me or something. I get a bad back just walking down the hall, you know?
