Zendaya is reportedly expected to earn seven figures for each episode of season 3 of Euphoria.
According to Puck’s Matthew Belloni, Zendaya, who stars as Rue Bennett in Euphoria, recently renegotiated her salary for the show’s third season and will rack in $1 million per episode.
The Euphoria star has earned a plethora of awards for her role as Rue. In 2020, Zendaya made history when she won the Emmy award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. She was also brought on as an executive producer of Euphoria for its second season and became the youngest person to ever receive an Emmy nomination for producing at the age of 25.
As the HBO hit show heads into a third season, Zendaya told the Hollywood Reporter that she hopes Euphoria can continue to delve into the lives of its characters after they graduate from high school.
“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,” Zendaya said.
According to Belloni’s report, a number of other A-listers, including Michael Keaton, Jason Sudeikis, and John Krasinski, are currently earning seven-figure television salaries.
